Gran Canaria: Small Group Boat Tour & Snorkeling with LunchYou’ll drift along Gran Canaria’s southern coast in a small group boat tour from Puerto Rico to Mogan, stopping for snorkeling in hidden coves and trying paddle surf if you’re up for it. Share homemade Canarian food and sangria with locals on board—there’s time to swim or just breathe in the view. It’s relaxed, personal, and leaves you wanting more salt on your skin.
Snorkeling in Gran Canaria: Catamaran & Hidden BeachesThis snorkeling tour sails a small-group catamaran along Gran Canaria's hidden northern coast, stopping at four pristine beaches and sea caves where you swim and snorkel in crystal-clear water. The boat includes a live guide in your language, a full lunch of local seafood or vegetarian paella with salads and fruit, unlimited beer, sangria and cava, snorkeling gear, and paddle boards; hotel pickup is included. The tour runs 4 to 5 hours and stays deliberately small to avoid crowds.Is it for me?You're on a shared boat with a small group, so this suits anyone who wants to snorkel without renting a private catamaran or organizing the route themselves—the guide, the stops, the lunch and the timing are all arranged. If you prefer to move at your own pace or avoid any group setting, a private rental or self-guided snorkeling from a beach would suit you better.
Gran Canaria Sailing & Snorkeling: Helm a Yacht, Small GroupsYou board a 14-ton yacht at Puerto de Mogán and either take a turn at the helm or relax while the crew handles the sails. The boat anchors in a quiet bay where you snorkel, swim, or rest before a vegetarian lunch with wine and soft drinks. Hotel pickup and all gear are included; the trip runs 4 hours with groups staying under 8 people.Is it for me?Book this if you want to actually sail rather than watch sailing happen, and you'd rather not spend the morning arranging transport to the port or figuring out where to anchor for lunch — the whole day is already planned around the boat and the crew.
Gran Canaria: Snorkeling Safari with Pickup & Pro GearYou’ll join a small group for a relaxed snorkeling safari in Gran Canaria—with hotel pickup included—guided by friendly PADI instructors who know every cove. Expect pro gear (wetsuit too), clear waters at Amadores Bay or Puerto de Mogán, and plenty of laughs as you spot local fish together. That first quiet moment underwater is something you’ll remember.
Snorkeling in Gran Canaria: 4-Hour Catamaran SailA 4-hour catamaran snorkeling trip in Gran Canaria departs from Puerto Rico and sails to the isolated beaches of Veneguera or Tiritaña, where you snorkel, swim and relax on deck. The boat carries lunch, beer, cava and soft drinks; snorkeling gear is provided; a live guide speaks English and Spanish. Arrive 15 minutes early; the crew stays on hand throughout.Is it for me?You're snorkeling from a boat rather than swimming independently, and the crew handles the gear and the meal, so this suits anyone who wants to be in the water without managing logistics—families with children, older travelers, or anyone who'd rather float on deck between swims than navigate a beach entry.
Snorkeling in Gran Canaria from Puerto Rico: Catamaran with lunchSnorkel off the coast of Gran Canaria aboard a modern catamaran departing from Puerto Rico, with stops at the isolated beaches of Veneguera or Tiritaña. The tour includes snorkeling equipment, a full lunch with paella and seasonal fruit, and unlimited beer, cava, soft drinks and water. A live guide speaks English and Spanish throughout the morning.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full morning on the water with a small group—the catamaran keeps things intimate, and everything from gear to food is handled so you spend your time in the water or resting on deck, not organizing.
Snorkeling in Gran Canaria: Catamaran cruise with lunchA four-hour catamaran cruise from Puerto Rico along Gran Canaria's southern coast, with snorkeling stops at Amadores, Tauro, Cura, Perche and Tiritaña beaches before reaching Mogán. The boat visits sea caves by water, and lunch with paella, salads and papas arrugadas is served during the main snorkeling stop; beer and soft drinks are included, plus a banana boat ride. A live guide speaks English, Spanish or German.Is it for me?The four-hour pace and water entry are straightforward — you board the catamaran, snorkel at marked stops and eat lunch on deck — so it suits anyone comfortable in the water without needing a strenuous hike or early start. Infants and small children can come along (specialized seats and prams are available), and the cruise works for all fitness levels.
Gran Canaria Snorkeling Catamaran Cruise with LunchA 4-hour catamaran cruise along Gran Canaria's south coast from Puerto Rico, with snorkeling in a calm anchorage, dolphin-spotting in open water, and lunch with unlimited drinks included. The boat holds up to 80 passengers. You can arrange pickup from Maspalomas, Costa Meloneras, Puerto Mogán and seven other coastal towns, or make your own way to the harbor. Swimming unaccompanied is required to snorkel.Is it for me?Book with pickup if you're staying in Maspalomas, Costa Meloneras or another pickup zone and want to skip the drive to Puerto Rico harbor. Choose without pickup if you have a rental car or prefer to make your own way to the port—the price difference reflects the transport only, and the cruise itself stays the same.
Kayaking and snorkeling around Mogan Caves: Exclusive water ziplineKayak around the Mogan Caves and Cliffs on a 4-hour activity from Taurito Beach, paddling past sea caves and small beaches on the southwest coast before reaching Tiritaña for swimming, snorkeling and a picnic. The guide leads in English or Spanish, and children from age 8 are welcome; a water zip line is available for those who want it.Is it for me?Book this if you want to paddle into caves and snorkel on the same morning—the 4-hour window holds both without rushing, and the guide handles the route so you focus on paddling and exploring. The water zip line is there if you want the rush, but it is optional; the core activity suits anyone comfortable in a kayak from age 8 up.
