★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 310 reviews · 4 hours · from $56

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!”

Die drei Stunden lohnen sich auf jeden Fall, ich würde es immer wieder tun. Der Strand an dem man lernt ist ebenfalls flach, sodass man jederzeit stehen kann, die Wellen aber dennoch groß genug sind.”
