Dolphins, whales & Little Venice: perfect day in Mogán

Whale & Dolphin Watching from Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria
Hop aboard for a movie-worthy morning at sea! We’ll cruise the crystal-clear waters of southwest Gran Canaria for about 2 hours, searching for wild dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. Our crew will share fun facts, help you spot species and make sure the encounter is respectful for the animals.
After the sea thrills, we dock at charming Puerto de Mogán—the island’s “Little Venice.” Enjoy around 3 hours of free time to wander the market, taste local bites by the sea and snap colorful photos among canals and white-washed houses.
A comfortable, sustainable plan for families, couples and friends. Weather dependent.
