Expected more
I booked 2 hours of snorkeling with my daughter; we weren't even there for an hour and fifteen minutes, including the trip out to and back from the center. At the place where you go by boat, there is very little variety of fish. If you want to see more fish for free, go to Anfi del Mar beach, where you can see many more and a greater variety. The owner is nice and let us know what we might see.

Reasonable
Professional dive and snorkel school. But incorrect title, you'll be back in an hour. You will be welcomed friendly and professional before you go on the boat. The trip is only 5 minutes boat ride and the snorkel location disappointing. Few fish, anything but a nice spot. I believe there really are better places! Water was murky with max 2 meters visibility.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thanks for you review, however if you read the description it does state you are snorkelling in the water for one hour...... We did mention prior to heading out we had the start of a swell so the visibility was not on full form, however this is something i cannot control, is nature. When the conditions gets too bad i cancel snorkelling however that day the visibility was still good enough to see the bottom and all marine life. We do travel only 5 minutes out of the harbour as we go to a good site which is able for both the diving and snorkelling together. If you were interested in a boat excursion with snorkelling you should have looked for a 4 hour excursion which provides this. We offer just snorkelling tours along...... Hope this helps our other users with the explaination given......

Friendly staff
Nice experience. Super friendly staff. We felt very safe with the instructors. Even my 60 year old mom felt safe and had a good experience.

Not even an hour
The 2-hour trip was actually a 45-minute spend in the water. You see get to a spot 3 minutes out of the harbor and almost see nothing but rocks. A few fish around. The guides swim so fast and give you barely time to view and float around. They give you excellent gear for the snorkel trip. It is only not worth €45,- a person for that short amount of time spent. The crew is good and friendly.

2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.
Is 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?
+
On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat?
+

Where is the meeting point for 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat?
+
Please meet at the diving centre at 2:30pm. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 2-Hour Afternoon Snorkeling Experience in Gran Canaria by Boat offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
