Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria
Overview
There are few experiences as wonderful as enjoying the spectacle of animals in their natural environment and without a doubt being able to see dolphins and whales up close is one of the most impressive. Sometimes there will be a few and sometimes there will be thousands of them but it's always fascinating
On our excursions you can see from the small common dolphin to the largest animal that has lived on the earth; the blue whale. But you will also have the possibility to see turtles, flying fish and other marine species.
You can see the beautiful coast from another perspective and you will also have the possibility to swim in the sea if you want.

What To Expect
We sailed for two and a half hours in the southwest of the island looking for cetaceans for observation. A boat specifically designed for the sighting of these formidable marine mammals, with perfect visibility for passengers, including underwater viewing windows. Captain Ivan Lopez, a certified cetacean watching professional, has been captaining our ship Spirit of the Sea for 15 years, always showing deep respect for these animals, their natural habitat and habits.
During the excursion, passengers receive all kinds of details about the animals we encounter, as well as their habits of living, feeding, mating, etc. Customers also have a QR code with additional information about each type of dolphin or whale that sails through the Canary Islands. Our crew consists of professionals with knowledge of the history and environment of cetaceans.
Sighting Guarantee: If we are not lucky enough to spot cetaceans during the excursion, we give the customer a bonus directly so that they can enjoy the experience for free whenever they want (valid for one year).
