Didn’t enjoy the trip
No dolphins which was disappointing
via Tripadvisor
Good Experience.
We had a lovely time on the boat but didn't see any dolphins (no fault of the organisation). The driver played music so it created a cool holiday vibe. The organisers didn't provide snorkels which was disappointing so I'd recommend bringing your own. But it was nice to take a dip in the sea regardless. The whole experience was 1.5 hours and I thought the price was reasonable.

What dolphins
Absolutely no sign of any dolphins. The guide looked through binoculars a couple of times but we did not see any dolphins.

No Dolphins in sight
The sea was really rough and we didn’t see any dolphins. The guy asked us if we wanted to get off the boat to swim but not one person got off as it was too rough and we all thought it would be dangerous.

A bit rushed
I enjoyed this although it was a choppy day and we must have been out on the water for 50 minutes before stopping - having more or less gone full circle back to the harbour we departed from. The 'snorkelling' part is a bit misleading - I expected them to supply snorkelling equipment but this is not the case, so take your own. A few of us went in for a swim and then dolphins were sighted (I think they may have been porpoise as they were small). I had swum away from the boat a bit and it was a mad rush to get back on board as they were keen to move closer. It was exciting to see the dolphins/porpoise in the water, there must have been around 10 of them. Then in a few short minutes we were back at the harbour, so no time to get changed. Decent enough value for money but the swim was too quick and the sighting brief.

Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.
How much does Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Lanzarote is not rushed.
Is Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 82 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote?
+
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 Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote?
+
Around 29 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 Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dolphin Watching Mini Cruise and Snorkeling from Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote?
+
On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. 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 Lanzarote?
+
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 Lanzarote?
+
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.
