    What you'll see and do

    1. Pasito Blanco

      Step aboard our comfortable Rodman 1100, a spacious boat that’s been thoughtfully converted into a hybrid vessel powered by two electric engines. This quiet, low-impact technology allows for a peaceful and eco-friendly experience at sea—ideal for observing marine life in a respectful way. The minimal noise often encourages dolphins to approach the boat naturally, creating authentic and stress-free encounters. Throughout the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to spot several fascinating species in their natural habitat, including bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, striped dolphins, and short-finned pilot whales. Our experienced team—skipper Víctor and marine biologist Paula—will guide you through the journey, sharing valuable insights about the behaviour, biology, and conservation of the animals we encounter. With live interpretation from a marine biologist, the tour becomes more than just sightseeing—it’s a learning experience.

    A Wonderful Family Sailing Day

    Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable boat trip, with attentive and thoughtful service throughout the experience. It was a little unfortunate that, due to our limited time, we didn’t get to see dolphins, but we still had a great time. We would definitely come back again and look forward to joining a longer trip out at sea next time!

    Professionals, wildlife and care

    Very good experience, perfect and pleasant treatment, highly recommended, we were able to see dolphins, turtles, and varieties of fish, they care about not disturbing the animals by stopping the engine when they are nearby, I liked that when they saw trash they took out the net to pick it up, a ten.

    Ecological experience, but not suitable for everyone.

    I had booked this tour alone and booked it primarily because of the ecological aspect. The two tour guides were truly incredibly nice people and you could move freely around the whole boat (even up to the top, where Viktor was steering the boat). In addition, drinks (limited beer, water, apple juice) were available around the clock. You were also told a lot about the possible sightings. Unfortunately, I was unlucky yesterday and, apart from a turtle and flying fish, you couldn't see anything. Only a ray that was being fed by fishermen in the harbor could be seen. Despite everything, it was a wonderful experience. However, it must be mentioned that this experience is frequently booked by couples and, especially in September, there are many older people on Gran Canaria. Furthermore, there is quite a strong swell out on the sea, especially at midday.

    Thumbs up for WeWhale!

    We recommend this trip, even if we were very unlucky: We went on this trip twice in 2 weeks. The first time there was to much wind and the waves where to high, so we turned back very early. Got to reschedule for a different day free of extra charge. The second time, the sea and wind was calmer, but we didn't see any animals/fish besides birds and flying fish. Still giving this a 5 star review, because the marine biologist knows a lot and the captain made us feel safe, and they do good work with great respect for the ocean and it's inhabitants!

    Simply super, again and again

    Great experience. We saw some dolphins. The marine biologist told us a lot about the different animal species. There were snacks and drinks. It was simply great and I would recommend it to everyone.

    Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 35 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 Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid 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 Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat?

    +

    Around 12 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid 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 Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat?

    +

    Included: Guide (Spanish, English, French); Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat?

    +

    Departure from Pasito Blanco Harbour, Pontoon: Ribera, Mooring R04, Gran Canaria Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat offered in?

    +

    Is Dolphin Observation In A Small Group On A Silent Hybrid Boat wheelchair or stroller accessible?
