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.

    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.

    Es wurde sehr auf die Grundbedürfnisse der Tiere in freier Wildbahn geachtet. Und jeder auf dem Schiff, hatte die Möglichkeit die Tiere zu beobachten.

    Lächerlich! Ich buche bei einem deutschen Unternehmen in einer deutschen App und bekomme eine deutsche Buchungsbestätigung in der dann irgendwo klein auf englisch mit Abkürzungen geschrieben steht, dass der Abholungsort an irgendeinem Kreisverkehr sein soll, von denen es in unmittelbarer Nähe zu meinem Hotel zwei gibt. Die angegebene Hotline in nicht zu erreichen, oder belegt. Es blieb uns nichts anderes übrig, als für 30€ mit dem Taxi zum Boot zu fahren. So geht Servicewüste. Danke für Nichts!
