FamilyVerified bookingJul 20263/5I visited 10 years ago there was no fast track then and it worked well, I believe the park has got greedy and not the same place. I was also disappointed with paying for sun loungers which should be in the price getting into the park. On a review the trip was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend to others.SSabine T

What to expect
Gran Canaria: Dolphin & Whale Watching Cruise with Glass Bottom & Snorkeling
This 3.5-hour catamaran cruise takes you from Puerto Base along Gran Canaria's southwest coast, crossing the Atlantic cetacean corridor where dolphins and whales are regularly sighted.

-
Expert guide: Listen to live commentary from an expert English- and Spanish-speaking guide who identifies species and explains marine behaviors and the local environment.
-
Swim stop: Enjoy a swim and snorkel stop near Taurito, with time to get into the water directly from the catamaran in a more sheltered coastal bay.
-
Snorkel at your own pace: Use the snorkel mask provided per guest to explore the water during the Taurito stop, or choose to stay on board and relax instead.
-
