Lineas Salmon Dolphin Search Description

The Lineas Salmon Dolphin and Whale search trip is a very popular family excursion in Gran Canaria. It is inexpensive and convenient. Lineas Salmón makes it easy for you to catch a Dolphin Trip as you can take one of their taxi ferries from Puerto de Mogán for example, to get to one of the different harbours, they sail out from.

Every day, except Friday, two Dolphin trips sail out from Arguineguin, Anfi del Mar and Puerto Rico (Puerto Escala) if the wind and waves are favourable. The first around 11:15 am and the second around 2:15 pm.

Dolphin Search on a Glass Bottom Boat

Each Dolphin Search boat has a sun deck, the main deck with an on-board bar and disabled toilets, and the below deck has a crystal clean glass bottom. When we visited we were impressed how clean the glass bottom windows were, we could see everything all the way down to the bottom of the sea.

Dolphin & Whale Sighting Guaranteed

Lineas Salmon guarantees you a dolphin or whale sighting on your trip. If you are lucky you might even see sharks, flying fish and sea turtles. If you don’t get to see dolphins or whales, Lineas Salmon will invite you to 2º trip for free on one of the following days.

Had a lovely day out to mogan and back again on lineas salmon, easy to find on the port and speak English too should you need it, think it was 13€ each for a return and the views are absolutely stunning. There’s an own part at the top of you love the sun and a shaded part underneath for those who love heatstroke!

Great experience getting to see so many dolphins so close. But be prepared to wait on the boat for up to an hour before seeing any, and an hour back to the harbour, but very worth it.

Nice ship trip!! Very nice staff, the best was girl talking 4 languages (3 fluently) knowledge about area where we been. Glass bottom nothing special. We seen Dolphins unfortunately no bonus (didn’t see whales). Anyone who coming to Puerto Rico should go here.

Just beautyfull! In a half hour we seen the bottle nose dolphins. a good tip is to take something before sailing out to prevent sickness.

We had a lovey return trip from Puerto de Mogán to Puerto Rico. The staff were very friendly and helpful with our pushchair. The voyage was lovely and we had a brilliant day even if our two year old did want to jump off into the sea! Shame the glass bottom was not a little cleaner but we could still se something through it.

DOLPHIN TRIP WITH A WARNING!If you want to see dolphins then this is guaranteed otherwise you get another ticket. We did see them after around 1hr 30 for about 10 minutes which was excellent and beautiful to see and then headed back to shore which took another hour. However, this experience should come with a warning on their website at least! It was a lot rockier than we had expected despite it being in July and it was a very sunny day. This caused at least 90% of the passengers to feel sick and then express that...They were given see-through bags which once they were used, they would have to hold!! So other passengers would have to see the full bag of sick for the rest of the journey. Multiple men, woman and children definitely regretted going. I would not recommend this trip for young children, especially babies, or anyone who normally suffers from sea sickness as even I felt sick and I never usually suffer. Also if you get queasy from seeing, smelling or hearing vomit then avoid as the entire bottom deck was full of ill looking people with sick on them.... Otherwise enjoy!

Never booked just turned up at puerto de mogan for the Friday 11am Dolphin watching trip. Cost 30 euros per adult. They basically went straight out to sea and found Dauphins, we had plenty of time and saw many Dauphins. Excellent.

We had a little ferry trip to Arguineguin and back to Puerto Rico on market day which is on Tuesday’s. Enjoyable trip which also stops off at Anfi Del Mar going and returning. Big Market in Arguineguin, good morning out. Price reasonable for two adults return.Plenty of seating upstairs and down below. They do Whale and dolphins trips as well.

We were stuck in Anfi del Mar as the last ferry with Lineas Bluebird to Mogan had already departed. Lineas Salmòn were so kind as to let us ride with them. Thank you 🙂

Quite nice dolphin watching trip! When I went we only managed to see 5-6 dolphins from quite close, so you have to be lucky to see lots! Good organization and there is affordable parking just next to the departure point!

Yesterday we took a trip with the Salmon boat to find dolphins. We had reservations at our hotel and were picked up there. Driven from maspalomas to Puerto Rico, we took the nice salmon ferry and went to sea.At the ferry there were drinks available and a snack.A nice crew, who were honest.. spotting dolphins is never a science. Sometimes you see them, sometimes you don't.. These are wild animals whom you can't control.So with less expectations and lots of hope we went to the 400m deep Atlantic Ocean.We saw birds and flying fish when the crew got excited : lots of tuna fish in front of us.Tuna.. That means dolphin.. So in a few minutes they were there!For like one hour, a group of 10 dolphins were around the ferry.This big group was a surprise for guests as well for the crew.It was so beautiful, to see the animals playing around the boats stream. A mother and baby dolphin swimming and diving next to each other.This was a day to remember! 🥰🥰🥰🥰Thank you lineas salmon 🐬

Fantastic Dolphin trip to the deep see. You can see dolphins, sharks and turtles too. The sailors are very outgoing and creates a very happy atmosphere on the boat.

We went on the first departure to see dolphins. Me and my son werent feeling well before departure so i would have guessed it would be uncomfortable. We got to see many dolphins and the crew was really caring and sweet. So despite a little motion sickness it was a cool experience!
