11.Dolphin and Whale Cruise in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 477 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $50

Review of Gran Canaria’s Puerto Rico dolphin and whale cruise, with wildlife sightings, glass-bottom views, swimming, drinks, and practical tips.

“Very poor. 2.5 hour trip. Took 1 hour each way on the boat, looked for dolphins/whales for less than 10 minutes and then left to head back with a 20 minute stop for a swim. Saw 2 dolphin tales. Waste of time. Pointless experience and don't advertise that looking for wildlife would be so brief. Essentially a boat trip. Customer service afterwards apologised but were dismissive - they offer this trip daily so they must know the timings are too short.”
