Underwhelming
Having undertaken a Dolphin sightseeing tour in Fuertaventura a week prior to this, we have a very good idea of what good looks like and this is simply not it. The included transfer was fine, albeit long but that's expected. The trip itself was very robotic, we set off and then there was no one from the crew to be seen. They kept playing a prerecorded announcement in a few different languages over and over and then we came back. We saw no dolphins or whales, which was of course disappointing but seemed like the crew expected this as there were ZERO other boats out at the same time - very different to our Fuertaventura trip where the crew kept you informed throughout what was happening, dolphins or no dolphins. They offer a free return in case of no sightings but it's one of those things where it takes half your day doing this, so would you really spend another half day on the coach? I would not book again or recommend, not because of no sightings but because the service was non existent. They could've at least explained other wildlife in the ocean, for example.

Dolphin tour
Booked with TripAdvisor to avoid paying more with the travel company. It was so easy my booking was confirmed and I received details of pick up straight away via WhatsApp. The boat was a decent size but not too many people so it was just nice. The guys where very informative and we were told if we didn't see the dolphins we would get a free trip to try again. I wasn't disappointed we saw the dolphins and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this trip

Ok, but not worth it in my opinion
I must say I had different expectations for this trip, maybe because I have never sailed on open ocean. The ocean was very rough and it felt like the ship would break apart. We have travelled about 1 hour to the deep ocean to see the dolphins and flying fish. The sightseeing only lasted around 30 mins and we were happy to see the animals. However, I don’t think the 1 hour trip in/out is worth it. I would definitely not recommend this if you have sea sickness or easily scared. However, the staff were really attentive and supportive so can’t fault them for that.

Do this early in case you don’t see dolphins so you can ask for and use your voucher
I would recommend booking early on in your holiday as we didn’t see dolphins , we were advised we would receive a voucher for another tour which we didn’t get , some visitors returned to the boat after disembarking asking for their voucher so my advice would be to go early so you get a chance to use the voucher if needed , boat was very clean and guides were nice

Dolphin and Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Dolphin and Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 530 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria?
+
Around 186 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 Whales watching cruise from Puerto Rico de 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, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ, Guided tour of the Banana World. 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.
