Spirit of the Sea
A boat excursion company sailing from the harbour of Puerto Rico, in the municipality of Mogán. Its trips focus on watching cetaceans in the waters off southern Gran Canaria, and the company itself names the bottlenose dolphin, the common dolphin, the spotted dolphin, the rough-toothed dolphin, the false killer whale, the pilot whale, Risso's dolphin and the humpback whale. Booking in advance is essential.
The boat works along the southern coast of Gran Canaria, looking for cetaceans in their natural surroundings. The website lists the species that appear in the area, mainly several dolphins and pilot whales, and stops short of promising a sighting on every sailing.
One of the day's departures pauses near the coast for a swim, so swimwear and a towel are worth bringing; the rest of the time is given over to observation. Booking ahead is compulsory and the transfer from accommodation depends on availability. Information is published in Spanish, English, German and Dutch.
