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

Boat designed for small groups of up to 10 people, offering a unique and intimate experience.
Equipped with an electric motor to avoid disturbing the animals as we approach.
The crew includes an English-speaking captain and a guide who’s an expert in whales and dolphins.
Guided tour available in English, Spanish, and French.
Water, drinks, and snacks included during the trip.
No age restrictions to join.
Let’s be transparent and honest: cetaceans are wild animals and there’s a chance they may not be visible during your trip. However, thanks to our expert team and respectful approach, we’re proud to have a 90% success rate.
There’s always a small risk of disappointment if the cetaceans don’t show up… If you’d prefer an outing where fun is guaranteed — swimming, homemade tapas, a little aperitif and time to relax — then our shared catamaran trip might be a better fit: no dolphin-spotting mission, just a beautiful break at sea, 100% pleasure

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
