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 dolphins 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. The tour focuses on education with guides who share marine facts, help spot species and support real research. Spirit of the Sea are all about doing things responsibly, and their mission is simple – to show dolphins and whales while inspiring people to respect and protect them.

You'll be able to keep a lookout for other creatures too – turtles, flying fish and brightly coloured parrotfish – thanks to the boat's viewing area. And, if you choose the second sailing of the day, there's a swim stop included, for when you want to cool off in the water.

    Wir haben zwar keine Delfine gesehen, aber wir finden toll, dass die Tiere nicht um jeden Preis gejagt werden und der Schutz der Meere im Vordergrund steht. Es war eine gut organisierte wunderschöne Bootsfahrt bei ruhiger See - sehr meditativ und mut schönem Blick auf Kpate& Teneriffa. Es gibt Freigetränke an Bord, so viel man möchte; das Team ist sehr nett, und wir haben jede Mende fliegende Fische gesehen. Auf jeden Fall sehenswert.

    Everything was great! Especially the staff was so helpful and friendly! We were suffering of the sea sickness but the crew did their best to help us. Much appreciated! But would be better if it is said clearly that due to the high waves in the ocean you need to be prepared. But all in all - amazing experience! We saw so many dolphins that day.

    auf der Suche nach Delfinen, aber keine gefunden. Kann man sich sparen. Erst die Busfahrt mit ca. 1,5 h je Strecke dann ca. 3 h Delfine gesucht. Zeit- u. Geldverschwendung, besser gleich in Palmitos Park. Nie wieder!

    Der Ausflug war schlecht organisiert. Es gab zu wenige klare Erklärungen. Leider hat auch die Natur ihre eigenen Regeln und wir haben keine Delphine gesehen.
