★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,520 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $47Our pick

Set out from Puerto Rico aboard Spirit of the Sea, a 97-person catamaran with a glass-bottom viewing area. Your multilingual crew searches for dolphins, whales, turtles, and other cetaceans along Gran Canaria’s southwest coast, with return transport and a free second trip if no cetaceans appear.

“staff were lovely saw dolphins, glass bottom boat was not what I expected as you had to go below deck to be able to see the glass bottom, which I was led to believe was tiny cramped and very hot, I am disabled so couldn't get down the very steep narrow steps. lots of people also jumping up blocking your view when you did spot the dolphins. but managed to catch a glimpse of two. won't do it again”
