Whale and dolphin watching

Spirit of the Sea

Dolphin and whale watching

Discovering the magic of the ocean is easy with the exciting dolphin and whale watching trips in Gran Canaria.

Adventure and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience on board the Spirit of the Sea. During a two-hour cruise offshore, passengers have the chance to spot cetaceans in their natural habitat, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters that embrace this spectacular island.

Gran Canaria is recognised as a true paradise for marine life enthusiasts. With around 29 species of cetaceans recorded along its coastline, the island is home to approximately 34% of the world’s cetacean diversity. This remarkable richness makes every trip a unique opportunity to connect with nature up close.

In this context, Spirit of the Sea has been awarded certification by the World Cetacean Alliance, an international recognition that endorses its strong commitment to responsible whale watching, the protection of cetaceans, and the preservation of their natural habitat.

During the journey, you may see everything from agile spotted dolphins to impressive whales measuring up to 30 metres in length. Pilot whales, beaked whales and other fascinating species, as well as flying fish and sea turtles, can also be spotted in these Atlantic waters.

The experienced crew of the Spirit of the Sea accompanies passengers throughout the excursion, sharing valuable insights and their genuine passion for the ocean. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, each trip becomes both an enriching and memorable experience.

Booking this activity is an invitation to reconnect with nature and witness the beauty of cetaceans in the wild, in one of the world’s most extraordinary marine environments.
