A Dreamy Day at Sea: Dolphin Watching and Puerto de Mogán Market Adventure

Imagine combining two unforgettable experiences into one perfect day in Gran Canaria: encountering dolphins and whales in their natural habitat, followed by a stroll through the charming streets of Puerto de Mogán’s famous weekly market. This incredible boat trip offers just that — a day full of wonder, beauty, and authentic island charm.

Gran Canaria is one of the world’s premier locations for dolphin and whale watching, home to many native species that roam its waters year-round. Thanks to this incredible biodiversity, the probability of spotting these majestic creatures is almost 100%! Sailing alongside dolphins leaping in the waves or catching a glimpse of a graceful whale is simply indescribable — a memory that will stay with you forever.

After this exhilarating adventure at sea, your catamaran will glide into the picturesque harbor of Puerto de Mogán, often called the "Little Venice" of Gran Canaria. As you arrive from the ocean side, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of this colorful fishing village — a true gem and easily the most beautiful village in the south of the island.

You`ll have approximately three hours to explore Puerto de Mogán at your leisure. Wander through the vibrant, flower-lined alleyways, relax by the marina, and shop at the bustling weekly market, where local artisans and vendors offer everything from handmade crafts to delicious treats. It’s the perfect opportunity to soak up the local atmosphere and perhaps pick up a special souvenir.

The dolphin and whale watching portion of the trip lasts around two hours, and after your time in Puerto de Mogán, you’ll return comfortably by bus around 2:30 PM.

Please note: while the chances of spotting dolphins and whales are extremely high, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Rest assured, the experienced crew will do everything possible to make this magical experience a reality, always respecting the wellbeing of the marine life. All encounters and interactions will be exclusively with dolphins to ensure no disturbance to these magnificent creatures.

For your convenience, hotel pick-up from Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, and many other locations in southern Gran Canaria is included in the price — making your day smooth and stress-free from beginning to end.

Get ready for a day full of awe, wonder, and the true spirit of Gran Canaria!
