About this experience
Departing daily from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, we set out at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm on a 2.5-hour excursion along the island’s southwest coast, where we search for dolphins and other cetaceans in their natural habitat. Our vessel, Spirit of the Sea, accommodates 97 guests and has a large glass bottom, offering a rare chance to observe the underwater world from the comfort of the boat.
Our mission is to provide a respectful and ethical wildlife-watching experience. Holding all the necessary permits from the Canary Islands Government, we’re dedicated to operating in a way that puts the well-being of the animals first, ensuring that all sightings are conducted responsibly.
Seeing dolphins, and sometimes even whales, in their natural setting creates a powerful and memorable experience. Join us to connect with the beauty of the marine world, and leave with a deeper appreciation for protecting these wonderful creatures.
