• Searching for wild dolphins and whales alongside a professional guide
• Departures on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:30

How the activity works

The trip sets sail from Puerto Base in Puerto Rico and heads out to the waters off Gran Canaria's south-west coast, one of the Atlantic areas where bottlenose dolphins and several whale species are spotted most often throughout the year. Over the three-hour crossing, the onboard guide explains each species' behaviour and helps spot the first signs — a spray of water on the horizon, a group of fins breaking the surface. When the animals appear, the skipper slows down and keeps a respectful distance so as not to disturb them, leaving plenty of time to watch and take photos. It's a relaxed outing, suitable for the whole family, that combines the thrill of the sighting with the simple pleasure of sailing the Atlantic with Gran Canaria's volcanic coastline in the background.
