Dolphin Watching with Marine Biologists in Gran Canaria: Info & Prices

At Crazy Canary, we believe that watching whales and dolphins is the perfect way to raise awareness about these incredible creatures. But for us, it’s about more than just spotting them from a boat — we go the extra mile. That’s why we use hybrid vessels (diesel for the trip, electric when we get close), ensuring a respectful, eco-friendly encounter every time.”

Our partners made history when they proudly launched the very first electric whale- and dolphin-watching boats in the European Union — first in Lanzarote, then in Gran Canaria. This achievement makes them pioneers in an industry that had gone over 50 years without innovation.

What to Expect on Your Trip:

Join marine biologists and try to spot a variety of whale and dolphin species, such as bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, short-finned pilot whales and Bryde’s whales:

A boat designed for small groups of up to 10 people, for a unique and intimate experience.
Fitted with an electric motor so it doesn’t disturb the animals as it approaches.

The team includes a skipper and a guide who’s an expert in whales and dolphins.

Guided tour available in English and Spanish, with a little French.

Water, drinks and snacks included on the trip.

No age restrictions.

Let’s be upfront and honest: whales and dolphins are wild animals and they may not show up on your trip. However, thanks to our expert team and respectful approach, we’re proud to report a 90% success rate.

There’s always a risk of disappointment if the animals don’t turn up… If you’d rather have an outing where the fun is guaranteed – swimming, homemade tapas, a drink and some downtime – then the shared catamaran trip may suit you better: no dolphin hunt, just a lovely time out at sea, 100% enjoyment.

Do you know why dolphins like to swim next to boats?

As the boat moves forward, the water it pushes creates an underwater wave that dolphins use to surf, letting them glide along with minimal effort. But that’s not all — scientists have studied dolphin behaviour when they follow a boat: all kinds of jumps, swimming on their side, sudden U-turns… and why do they do it? Simply to play! Dolphins are like big kids when they spot a boat and just can’t resist coming over for a bit of fun
