Detailed description

Dolphin and whale watching off Gran Canaria: An unforgettable boat trip

The popular holiday destination of Gran Canaria is often referred to as a "miniature continent" because of its varied climate and the diversity of its landscapes. This impression is created by its long beaches and dunes made of white sand, which contrast with green gorges and picturesque villages. One third of the island is a biosphere reserve under UNESCO protection. This means that there is also a spectacular range of biodiversity and an abundance of wildlife. This makes it an ideal location to watch dolphins and whales in the sun and fresh sea breezes off Gran Canaria.

Experience magical moments on the Atlantic Ocean, with wild dolphins and whales appearing out of nowhere to say hello. Depending on the offer you choose, you will be able to discover the famous and wild GüiGüi beach, where you will be pampered with a delicious picnic consisting of Canary Island food and drinks. You can go snorkelling and swimming or just catch the sun there. You can also explore the surrounding area with its birds and weird rock formations. The return leg takes you along the incredible coast of Gran Canaria and shows you a lot of wild beaches and high cliffs.

The GüiGüi beach owes its funny name to the unintended comic pronunciation of a French holidaymaker. Before this lapse, the beach was known as Guguy. This untouched "Playa de Güigüi" is situated on the west coast of Gran Canaria and is hidden in a bay surrounded by high cliffs. It is wild and romantic and offers breath-taking scenery with a magnificent view. Your picnic with Canary Island food and drinks makes for a perfect break between the dolphin and whale watching off Gran Canaria.

Great tour - dolphins for the kids

initially I doubted if we really saw dolphins. But we wanted to do a nice boat tour anyway. It was a great experience for our little ones.

Tolle Tour - Delfine für die Kids
