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.

Staff were so attentive, my mum has mobility issues but the staff ensured she was included and safe getting to the seat. Throughout the trip they made sure she was okay and also able to see the flying fish and dolphins. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience as a family.

Had a really lovely time and the dolphins came so close to the boat. Very pleasantly surprised that we were able to sit in the shade. We also turned around 2 times to pick up plastic from the sea which was inspiring to all. Staff were great. Would suggest anti sickness tablets complimentary but had an amazing time.
