We really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it. We were lucky to see a large group of dolphins and even a Blainville's beaked whale, which was very special. Seeing these amazing animals so close to the boat was an unforgettable experience. What we appreciated most was the way the crew treated the wildlife with great care and respect. They never chased or disturbed the animals.
What is this tour like?
Spirit of the Sea is the glass-bottom catamaran that sails from Calle Puerto Base in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, and with 4.4 on Google from 1,977 reviews as of 3 September 2026 it carries one of the biggest review bases on the south coast. The 'Excursion Avist. Spirit' is 2 hours 30 minutes of whale and dolphin watching with a guide on board, on a boat licensed for 97 passengers.
The price needs a caveat: the operator's own site loads its booking widget by script, so €25 is the 'from' rate read from its TuriTop booking engine — the minimum tariff in the calendar, with adult from 12 years, child from 2 to 12, and infants up to 2 free. Surcharges and transfers are not itemised on the page, so we confirm the exact figure for your date before you pay. Reviewers mention soft drinks and water included with snacks for sale, a swim stop on the second departure of the day, and a crew that keeps its distance from the animals. Service is in Spanish, English and German.

“We really enjoyed our boat trip, staff were really friendly, soft drinks and water are included but they have other refreshments and snacks available at a cost. The dolphins were a bit speedy for photos but a lovely experience. We went on the second trip of the day which includes a stop off for a swim if you want to but it is not compulsory.”
“Really cool tour, worth every penny. From the driver picking us up to the very last of the staff, very friendly and nice people. They went above and beyond to make everyone happy and that the kids had fun. They helped spotting the animals and did an amazing job touring around them so we can spot them from all angles. You can see dolphins, whales AND tons of flying fish.”
“Very nice trip to the Atlantic ocean. Staff was friendly and informative about different species in the sea, when they saw them and what kind. We were lucky to see a big group of dolphins with small ones as well. Amazing experience. Highly recommend!”
