Description
Embark on an unforgettable marine adventure to spot dolphins and whales in their natural habitat
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Gran Canaria, where crystal-clear Atlantic waters teem with life. Our island boasts an incredible diversity of marine mammals, with up to 30 species of whales and dolphins calling our coasts home. Join us on a unique adventure to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
Our 97-seat catamaran departs from Puerto Rico, offering stunning panoramic views from our two decks. For 2.5 hours, we'll cruise the southwestern coast, searching for whales and dolphins. Our vessel is specially designed for whale watching, with underwater viewing windows for an up-close experience. Captained by Iván López, a certified whale watching expert with 15 years of experience, our "Spirit of the Sea" is committed to responsible and sustainable tourism.
Our crew consists of professionals with extensive knowledge of cetacean history and ecology, ensuring our passengers are well-cared for at all times. As well clients have access to QR codes offering additional information and replicas of whale and dolphin teeth, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for these incredible creatures.
As a member of the World Cetacean Alliance, we're dedicated to protecting marine life and their habitats. We collect valuable data for scientific research and actively participate in conservation efforts, such as rescuing injured sea turtles and birds. Our vessel is accessible to people with disabilities and is a smoke-free environment
