Guided tour
-
Board a hybrid electric vessel at Pasito Blanco harbour for a fully private cruise — no strangers, no crowds, just your group and a dedicated crew on Gran Canaria's open Atlantic.
-
The electric engines run near-silently through the water, minimising disturbance to wildlife and giving you closer, calmer encounters with dolphins and pilot whales than a conventional motorboat can offer.
-
Choose from six resident cetacean species in these waters — bottlenose, Atlantic spotted, common, Risso's, and striped dolphins, plus short-finned pilot whales — with a trilingual expert crew helping you identify and understand every sighting.
-
Pick your experience: a 3-hour daytime cruise for maximum time in the cetacean zone, or a 2.5-hour sunset cruise where golden Atlantic light makes every wildlife moment feel even more cinematic.
-
Every booking directly funds marine conservation — 7.5% of net revenue goes to a non-profit dedicated to noise and emission-free whale watching, and the crew actively removes ocean litter throughout the cruise.

A fully private electric cruise from Pasito Blanco for up to 10 guests, watching dolphins and pilot whales off Gran Canaria's south coast — available as a 3-hour daytime or 2.5-hour sunset trip, with expert guides, snacks, and drinks included.
Getting started
-
Make your way to Pasito Blanco Harbour, Pontoon Ribera, Mooring R04 before your departure time.
-
The crew welcomes your group on board and runs through the safety briefing before setting off.
-
Departure is at 09:30 for the day cruise; sunset cruise departure time is confirmed at booking.
What to expect
The waters off southern Gran Canaria are home to six resident cetacean species year-round. Your hybrid electric vessel moves quietly through the sighting zone, with the crew scanning for dorsal fins, blows, and surface movement while your expert guide explains what you're seeing in English, Spanish, or French.
Features
-
100% private cruise: No other guests, no shared deck — the boat, the crew, and the experience are entirely yours for the duration. Groups of up to 10 are accommodated, making it ideal for families, couples, or a close group of friends.
-
Hybrid electric vessel: The boat runs on two electric engines, keeping noise and emissions low throughout the cruise. Quieter navigation means less disturbance to wildlife and noticeably calmer, closer sightings compared to conventional motorboats.
-
Cetacean spotting with expert guidance: Your crew actively tracks six resident species — bottlenose, Atlantic spotted, common, Risso's, and striped dolphins, plus short-finned pilot whales. The guide narrates in your language, helping you identify species and understand their behaviour as you watch.
-
Daytime or sunset cruise: The 3-hour day cruise gives you the most time in the cetacean zone. The 2.5-hour sunset cruise trades a little time for golden-hour Atlantic light — same private setup, same expert crew, a completely different atmosphere.
-
Snacks and drinks on board: Refreshments are included throughout, sourced from sustainability-minded partners that align with the crew's conservation values.
-
Active conservation on board: During every cruise, the crew removes floating litter, monitors for entangled animals, and reports harmful activity towards wildlife — your booking directly contributes to this, with 7.5% of net revenue going to a non-profit dedicated to emission-free whale watching.
-
What to bring
-
Sunscreen, as the sun reflects strongly off open water.
