5.2-Hour Dolphin and Whale Watching in Gran Canaria

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 166 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42

2.5 hours off Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, hunting for dolphins and whales from a large boat, with a guide, deck time, and an onboard bar.

“We had a very frustrating and unpleasant experience. First of all, the ship left much too late, having to roast in the full sun for almost an hour...! Then we spotted nothing (no dolphins no whales.. nothing) and once you have paid you are unlucky. Lost half a day that we could have spent better... the company behind this activity tries to look professional to tourists, but in reality they are a lousy company. if you have a complaint you are powerless because they hardly care about you once you pay the money.”
