About this experience
Enjoy a dolphin and whale watching cruise, sailing offshore from the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, in the area between Puerto de Mogán and the Maspalomas Lighthouse. Get on board one of our catamarans, safe and comfortable boats that, due to their characteristics, offer a pleasant navigation, with less rolling than a monohull or smaller catamarans. . After sailing in search of cetaceans, we will return to the coast, making a stop of about 30 - 45 minutes in Cala del Perchel, Taurito, Tauro or Anfi del Mar, depending on the sighting area that has been navigated. At that time you can enjoy a refreshing swim, use the snorkeling equipment included in the activity and have a refreshing drink, returning later to Puerto Rico to end the activity.

What you'll see and do
Puerto Rico
Urbanization of Puerto Rico, one of the most important tourist enclaves on the island of Gran Canaria, where the Puerto Deportivo de Puerto Rico marina is located, the first port of this category built in the Canary Islands, and the point from which our catamaran sets sail in look for dolphins and whales. Of the 180 - 210 minutes that the activity lasts, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m., we will dedicate between 150 - 180 minutes to navigate in search of cetaceans and about 30 - 45 minutes stopped at anchor, to enjoy a swim and snorkel.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching cost?
+
Prices start at $22 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 Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching 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 Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 155 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching?
+
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 Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching 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 Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching?
+
Around 54 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 Half-Day Cruise Tour-Dolphin and Whale Watching 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, The Volcano Heart Tour: Hiking, Tasting and Sunset Experience. 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.
