★★★★★★★★★★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.”

“We (family of 5 ,youngest 6yrs) had a brilliant whole day here at Aqualand.. We took our own food as we reviewed the food is expensive there beforehand. The rides are brilliant. Our 6 Yr old struggled to get on some. She was about 5mm under the 1.2m marker needed but with some stretching some of the staff let her on. Plenty of shady areas. We used a locker. The park we thought is similar to Cian park Tenerife but a bit smaller. overall we had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed it 😀. Definitely recommend 👌”
