What to expect

The thrill of watching dolphins in their natural environment is one of the great experiences Gran Canaria has to offer. Onboard Spirit of the Sea – World Cetacean Alliance certified for responsible whale and dolphin watching – you'll get to see these friendly and intelligent creatures in their natural habitat.

There are six types of dolphin to spot, including bottlenose and common. And fin – the second-largest mammal – and pilot whales also make regular appearances. In fact, one-third of all species of cetaceans, which include whales and porpoises, can be found in these waters.

You'll be able to keep a look-out for other creatures – turtles, flying fish and brightly coloured parrot fish – thanks to the Spirit of the Sea's viewing area. Plus, there's a swim stop included, for when you want to cool off in the water.

    The pick-up bus was 25 minutes late with no comms. The boat trip was very choppy (in good weather) with lots and lots of kids and adults vomiting throughout. Great to see lots of dolphins but a strong stomach is needed.

    Loved the boat trip, saw a huge pod of dolphins and lots of flying fish. Transport back wasn’t as impressive as the driver decided to not drop off to hotels but a nearby bus stop. He failed to mention this to the whole bus so we only realised when he was driving away from our hotel area. At the next stop we asked and he told us we should have got off previously and we would have to walk the 20 minutes back to our hotel!! Not great.

    we enjoyed the trip the sea was calm, all the crew were friendly. The commentator was humorous, the captain worked hard to get close to the Dolphins and everyone saw the Dolphins and flying fish. I have nothing negative to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Amazing experience, saw loads more dolphins then expected! Only down side, the boat was a little bit too full.
