Full description
Dolphin watching on the Supercat
Out of Puerto Rico on a large catamaran, working the south-west coast of Gran Canaria where the water drops away quickly. Turtles, flying fish and whales crossing the Atlantic all pass through here.
Same boat, two trips. Pick the one that fits the day.
Two hours, 38 euros
The cetacean search and back. 38 euros for adults, 25 for children from 2 to 12, under-2s free, and a drink from the bar comes with the ticket. It is the short version and it is the one most people take.
Four hours, 64 euros
It starts the same way, then carries on down the coast past sea caves, cliffs and beaches with no road to them. Then the anchor goes down and the rest of it is yours: swimming and snorkelling, other water sports sold on board cheaper than ashore, and at the end of the stop everyone gets a banana boat ride. Lunch and an open bar are in the price. 64 euros for adults, 40 for children from 2 to 12.
The bit that matters
Nobody can promise you a dolphin. What this operator does instead is hand you a ticket to come back and do the trip again free if the crossing produces no cetacean at all. That is a real commitment and it is the reason to choose this boat over one that simply hopes.
Departures are daily on both trips, and the boat is berthed at Puerto Base in Puerto Rico.

Hardly any time passed after we left port before dolphins were alongside us. The crew were warm and kept everyone entertained, and I would happily go again and pass the tip on.
Decent trip and the food was fine, though we were led to expect dolphins and none showed up that day. The staff were pleasant enough. Worth doing, but do not count on a sighting.
Took the longer trip and it delivered: dolphins first, then the water sports later on, with staff who were friendly and quick to help.
Brilliant day out with Domingo and his crew. Plenty of dolphins early on, and afterwards we carried on along the coast.
Really good outing. Two different kinds of dolphin came past, along with flying fish, and I would tell anyone to go.
First time out there were no dolphins at all, so they gave us a free repeat the following day and we counted well over a hundred, along with flying fish.
The big catamaran gave us our best day out. Dolphins in numbers, a crew who could not have been friendlier, and the music on board was good as well.
Nice food and drink, and clean toilets and facilities. The one warning is the swell, which can be lively even on a calm day, so it is not for anyone unsteady on their feet. We saw dolphins, swam in the sea, had plenty of water sports to choose from, and a crew who kept us entertained.
