Spirit of the Sea Dolphin Watching in Gran Canaria

Choose this trip when seeing marine wildlife matters more than lunch, sunbathing or watersports. The shorter cruise suits visitors who want a focused sea excursion, and the repeat-trip policy for a no-sighting outing can reduce the risk of leaving disappointed if your schedule allows another visit. Wildlife is never guaranteed.

Best for families, couples and first-time visitors whose priority is dolphin and whale watching; travellers staying in Puerto Rico or nearby south-coast resorts; and anyone who wants a relatively short sea excursion. The available admission is marked wheelchair accessible, although boarding arrangements should still be confirmed for specific mobility needs.

Skip this trip if you mainly want a long swim stop, included lunch, unlimited alcoholic drinks or watersports; the leisure catamarans are better matches. It is also a poor fit for anyone prone to seasickness and unwilling to take precautions. Sightings cannot be guaranteed, and a repeat-trip policy is useful only if you have time to use it.

Board Spirit of the Sea at Puerto Base in Puerto Rico and head offshore for a 2.5-hour wildlife-watching cruise.

The crew searches for dolphins, whales and other marine life while sharing information about sightings. The glass viewing galleries can provide an underwater perspective when conditions and animal behaviour allow.

Water and non-alcoholic drinks are included. Food is not included.

Some departures may include a short swim stop when weather and sea conditions allow, but swimming is not guaranteed. If no cetaceans are seen, the available operator policy may provide a repeat-trip voucher; check the conditions issued for your sailing.

Wild animals decide whether and where they appear, so do not book on the assumption that dolphins or whales will be seen.

If you are prone to seasickness, take appropriate precautions before boarding. Bring sun protection, a hat and a light wind layer. Pack swimwear and a towel only if you want to be ready for a possible condition-dependent swim stop.

Pickup is available from selected south-coast areas, while Puerto Rico departures normally use Puerto Base. Follow the pickup details in your booking confirmation.

The available admission is marked wheelchair accessible, but travellers with specific mobility requirements should confirm boarding arrangements. Check the cancellation and rescheduling terms for your date before booking.
