Gran Canaria: Catamaran Dolphin Watch Cruise with Snorkeling

1.Catamaran Dolphin Watch Cruise with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4,761 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $44Our pick

Catamaran dolphin watch off Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria with a swim stop in Taurito, snorkeling gear, and soft drinks.

“Cruise was amazing, took a while to find the dolphins but ones we found them they were swimming around the boat and surrounding us. People got sea sick, but the staff were very quick to hand out bags and clean up mess. The swim was our favourite, complementary soft drinks and then 45 minutes of swimming, jumping in and going down the slide. Can’t fault anything.”

Classic boat from Puerto de Escala for tapas, unlimited drinks, snorkeling, paddle surfing, and optional jet ski in Gran Canaria.

“This a fabulous trip and worth every penny. The hosts are lovely, friendly and super attentive. The boat is clean, well maintained and the food they put on was tapas style and tasty. The drinks are unlimited too. The beer was cold and the sangria was lush! Soft drinks available too. We changed course due to weather and sea conditions being a bit rough /windy and they took us to a lovely peaceful bay with calm waters so we could swim/ snorkel / paddleboard and jet ski. The snorkel and boards were included, the jet ski was extra but worth it! 10/10 from us. Thank you!”
