The Experience

The boat leaves Puerto Rico at 11:00 and spends 2.5 hours on the water searching for dolphins and whales in the waters around Gran Canaria. You board the Lineas Salmón at Escala Pier, a vessel built to hold almost 150 people, which means the trip runs as a shared experience rather than an intimate one — the trade-off is that larger groups make the boat stable and the sightings more likely to be spotted by someone on deck who can alert the rest. A professional guide travels with you and narrates in English or Spanish, pointing out what appears and explaining the marine life as you move through the search area.

The boat has a bar aboard where you can buy drinks during the voyage, though food and beverages are not included in the ticket price. The vessel is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are available near the pier if you're traveling without a car. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller. The tour suits all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for pregnant travelers.
