There are few experiences as wonderful as enjoying the spectacle of animals in their natural environment and without a doubt being able to see dolphins and whales up close is one of the most impressive. Sometimes there will be a few and sometimes there will be thousands of them but it's always fascinating On our excursions you can see from the small common dolphin to the largest animal that has lived on the earth; the blue whale. But you will also have the possibility to see turtles, flying fish and other marine species. You can see the beautiful coast from another perspective and you will also have the possibility to swim in the sea if you want.

    It’s a waste of money.

    We went on October 15, 2026. We saw absolutely nothing, save for a few flying fish. Our trip was at 1:30 PM—a group had already gone out earlier—and I suspect the captain knew full well there were no dolphins around, yet he still took people out just to have them spend two hours drifting across the ocean. Of course, I realize there’s never a 100% guarantee of seeing anything, but I suspect the crew knows the chance is well under 10%, which I find somewhat deceptive. In theory, you’re allowed to go a second time, but we weren’t given any tickets or vouchers, so I have no idea how they would verify who is entitled to a return trip as compensation. Overall, I do not recommend it. It’s a waste of money.

    Awesome experience with dolphins

    The whole experience was awesome from start to finish! The crew was lovely and helpful, working with and communicating with other boats to ensure that we had the best experience possible. After a while and with the help of another boat, we saw loads of dolphins!! We also saw plenty of flying fish. The soft drinks on board were very welcomed as it was a very hot day. The tour took about 2.5 hours and was well worth the fee. Thanks again for an amazing trip.

    Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.

    How much does Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 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 Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 634 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 Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria?

    +

    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 Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria?

    +

    Around 222 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria 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.
