Which dolphin trip should you book?
Choose the two-hour trip for a simple wildlife excursion
The standard option is designed for travellers who want to search for wild dolphins without spending most of the day at sea. Its shorter duration makes it easier to combine with lunch, the beach or another activity. It is also the lowest-priced option: €38 per adult and €25 per child aged 2–12.
Choose the Friday Special for dolphins and Puerto de Mogán
The five-hour Friday option combines the dolphin experience with Puerto de Mogán Market. It costs only €5 more per adult and €3 more per child than the standard trip. Choose it if you want a longer outing and the market is part of your holiday plans. Because this option is tied to Friday, select the correct tour option when requesting your date.
What is included in the dolphin-watching experience?
The excursion searches for dolphins in their natural Atlantic habitat with an experienced professional crew. It is a wildlife experience, so the animals’ location and behaviour cannot be controlled. The current excursion information publishes a free return-trip policy if no dolphins are seen; the exact repeat-trip terms depend on the boat available for your date and are confirmed before payment.
The exact boat, departure point and start time also depend on the selected date and availability. Your booking request collects your WhatsApp number and hotel or accommodation so the local team can confirm the correct arrangements.
Hotel transfer and departure details
Optional hotel transfer is listed at €2 per person and must be requested at least 24 hours before departure. Enter your real accommodation name in the booking form, or write “Direct” if you will travel to the departure point yourself. Do not assume a pickup is confirmed until you receive the final details.
If you are staying in the south, you can also compare other boat trips in Gran Canaria, including catamaran cruises and private charters.
