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.

Blue Bird Ticket

Cruising off the coast of the Gran Canaria has always been fun but this boat tour makes it even better. You can now hop off at any of the ports the Blue Bird boat docks in and wander around before hopping back on when the next one sails into port.The itineraries vary and cover four coastal towns in the southwest – Arguineguin, Anfi del Mar, Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan. So you can tick off sleepy fishing villages like Anfi, bubbly seaside spots like Puerto Rico and Arguineguin or more dashing towns like Puerto de Mogan.Each has its own charm – and nowhere can the colour of a town be better appreciated than during the weekly market. In Arguineguin, it's every Tuesday, while in Puerto de Mogan, there are two. Monday is the farmers' market while Friday sees the town come to life for the ethnic and gastronomic market – African drums, wooden wind chimes and Canarian cheeses are among the stall buys.
