Submarine adventure in Puerto de Mogán, Gran CanariaRobVS, Sep 2026
Do it.
It is only 30 mins underwater.
BUT how many opportunities do you get to go on a submarine? AND thise 30 minutes are really good.
Do it, once in a lifetime experience.

Gran Canaria Virgin Beaches Boat Tour with FoodEscape05124298965, Sep 2026
If you’re planning a boat trip, I recommend booking with them.
If you’re planning a boat trip, I recommend booking with them. You’ll get a beautiful, clean boat, a friendly crew, comfortable cushioned seating, a canopy for shade from the bright sun, and delicious food and drinks—plus, the stand-up paddleboards were a nice bonus.

Even better than I thought
Our taxi driver took the wrong way to make us late but the staff allowed us to go on the next trip. The submarine has A/C saw ship wrecks and fish. Nice staff, pleasant music/audio & experience!

Gran Canaria Virgin Beaches Boat Tour with FoodevemA650FO, Sep 2026
Great trip. Highly Recommend
Pick up was on time and very good.
The trip was fantastic, 2 long swim stops. Plenty of seating. The use of paddle boards and snorkel masks are also included .The steps into the sea were a good quality, thick wide wood steps, which made getting back on the boat easy compared to many other boat ladders I have used.
There was the option for jet skis at a supplement.
Drinks all inclusive were cava, Sangria, beer and soft drinks. Cocktails were also available to buy. We did indulge in 2 mojitos and they were lovely, I highly recommend.
On arrival fresh fruit, cheese, iberian ham was laid out to enjoy.
At lunch, paella, salad and bread was given and was very nice.
The overall trip was lovely just wish it could have lasted longer with travelling further.
The return drop off was not as good as it was not clear where to meet and when as we were awaiting the sister boat returning. As it was a very hot day after waiting 30min we gave up and just got a taxi. Despite this I would go again.

Catamaran Obycat Gran Canaria Tourcheekyscamps, Sep 2026
Excellent. Best in Gran Canaria
Excellent from start to finish. Definitely the best Catamaran cruise on the island. I've done various boats over the years and they are often cramped with many upcharge services. This was totally different. Not overly crowded with just 20 passengers on our cruise with enough comfy sunbeds and seats for everyone.Pickup from our hotel was bang on time, we were greeted by one of the crew from the boat enthusiastically and quickly on our way.The first hour we cruised to the swimming spot with the free bar open straight away, then had an hour to swim, snorkel and relax on the floating pontoon. It also had a fun inflatable waterslide. Snorkels were provided, along with a life vest if needed. Then lunch was superb and fresh. Seafood Paella with Canarian Potatoes, fresh mixed salad and bread. Plenty enough for second helpings if required and then they walked round with fresh melon.The surprise was them feeding the fish from the side of the boat, with schools of them swimming up to eat. Then it was the final hours cruise back to the harbour with some good music.The crew were very very attentive, humourous and willing to talk to anyone. Even the captain was chatting and letting people stand at the controls and watch him sail the boat with demonstrations.The boat is modern, clean, spacious and has very satisfactory facilities on board.Will definitely be back for this cruise again and would highly recommend it over any of the other similar companies.

Worth every penny
Absolutely brilliant trip, and amazing crew.The views from the boat are amazing, and the food looked amazing. The crew even take photos of you with your own phone during the journey and take videos and photos of guests jumping and sliding into the water.Unfortunately I did end up feeling queasy due to sea sickness (an odd occurrence for me) but the crew were very attentive, they took excellent care of me and kept me topped up with iced drinks and ice for the back of my neck to help with the nausea

Tastes of Gran Canaria A Day of Flavours and CultureT2543HUlaurenh, Sep 2026
Incredible day trip experiencing authentic Gran Canaria
Brilliant day trip! Incredibly well organised and we learnt so much around food & drink in Gran Canaria. All the guides were highly knowledgeable. I’d absolutely recommend this trip.

Thumbs up for WeWhale!
We recommend this trip, even if we were very unlucky: We went on this trip twice in 2 weeks. The first time there was to much wind and the waves where to high, so we turned back very early. Got to reschedule for a different day free of extra charge. The second time, the sea and wind was calmer, but we didn't see any animals/fish besides birds and flying fish. Still giving this a 5 star review, because the marine biologist knows a lot and the captain made us feel safe, and they do good work with great respect for the ocean and it's inhabitants!

Sala Scala Gran Canaria Dinner Show29karenl, Sep 2026
Excellent, well worth it
Wow. We loved this night. The food was good. The music was good. The singing and dancing brilliant. And it even had me in tears with the comedy sections. The admission fee was well worth it, we paid for one of extra drinks options which paid for itself. The food was in amongst the acts which accounts for the length of the show. The staff serving were excellent, they had everything down to a tea, couldn't fault them.

Simply super, again and again
Great experience. We saw some dolphins.
The marine biologist told us a lot about the different animal species.
There were snacks and drinks.
It was simply great and I would recommend it to everyone.

Great trip
Fantastic crew, excellent service and a very nice trip. Drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic are included in the price as is lunch (very nice paella).
You get to swim in the sea and the boat has a big raft that you can float on and lifejackets if you can't swim.
Everything was great, overall.

Unforgettable
Even as a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable on this tour from the very beginning. I am open to new things and love getting to know special places, while also enjoying a harmonious and quiet atmosphere.The tour was a wonderful mix of impressive landscapes, interesting information, and special impressions. You learn a lot about the island and at the same time discover places that you might not have found on your own.I found the small group and the pleasant, relaxed atmosphere especially nice. It was a harmonious mix of shared experiences, peace and quiet, and interesting conversations.For me, as a solo traveler, it was an all-around successful day with many new impressions and beautiful memories. Many thanks for the great company and the many interesting pieces of information – absolutely recommended!
