Super friendly and funny staff! It took a while until we saw the dolphins but then it was a large group and we spent a long time watching them. The swimming stop was also amazing. I highly recommend it, also because the boat is small and not many people are on it. Also it is possible to follow the dolphins

Amazing trip. We saw a whale and a huge (>100) group of dolphins. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely do it again.Keep in mind that it's still the Atlantic ocean. Therefore some people got seasick (but the care provided by the staff was amazing) and it's not guaranteed that you see anything.I hope that everyone has the same luck as me and my girlfriend.

Although the drinks are includes in the price, girls at the bar ask for 1 euro for each plastic cup. We ware a group and did not want to buy the cups. This looks like they are trying to enforce the tips. They say the management is forcing them to sell cups which might be the reason to but i doubt that. Otherwise a nice trip

We went to sea whales and dolphins in December 2022. After 1.5 hour we saw pseudo orca dolphins and they were amazing. We also saw some flying fish.We used pick up from maspalomas and it went well.The only negative thing is that we booked for 13.00 and received confirmation for 10.00 and had to call and figure it out. This could be avoided.

Lovely trip out on the beautiful sea. Super friendly staff with a nice lady that recognized me from the other day.Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any whales that I hoped for, although that’s of course nothing we can decide. But we did get to see some Rizzo’s dolphins and flying fish.I thought that €37 per person was a bit prizy for two hours and thought it was a bit peculiar that the three hour trip with a snorkeling stop had the same prize, however on different days of the week that we couldn’t attend.

+1 for the company itself! When they see plastic floating, they stop the boat to take it out of the water!Nice people, nice boattrip. They do their very best for you to see dolphins and even a whale!

Half the fun was the sail out and back - a very informative crew and they worked hard to give us the best experience sighting the dolphins. A lot of flying fish too!Get there early so you can beat the queue and get the upstairs front seats for the best views, and don’t forget you will definitely need the sunscreen

Fantastic. Such experienced and helpful people. The onboard guide spoke four languages!! She also moored the boat, hefting huge ropes!Sadly we saw no dolphins or whales, just flying fish. But they gave us a free ticket for next time. And it was a lovely boat trip regardless 😀

Highly recommend. I was unfortunately very seasick onboard, but I never expected such understanding people! They took so many of my "waste" bags and were always ready with fresh bags and tissues. My boyfriend who has much better sea legs had a wonderful time. Saw dolphins and flying fish and they stopped quite a few times to fish plastic out of the water. Please go here to support conservation efforts!!

Amazing trip. Went on "The spirit of the sea" twice while I was in Gran Canaria and they never dissapoint. The crew is very attentive and kind. They care about the animals and their habitat and also clean up plastic that is floating around. They are also very good with kids, and they do not only search for dolphins and whales but are looking after the passengers as well. Must do when in Gran Canaria🐳

5 stars, we saw a whale which the team informed us had fishing net caught around it, they immediately called and reported this so the whale could be helped. They also removed lots of plastic from the water which was great to see the care for the ocean and nature and that it wasn't just a tourist trap. We then saw some dolphins which we watched for a while very informative experience and was nice to be the only boat with the animals!! My friend was very seasick and they were very attentive to giving her sickbags. It is very rough and I would definitely recommend seasick tablets before going

Overall a very good experience, though we got sea sick since it was a bit choppy. The staff were really helpful and friendly. We did see some wild dolphins.I'd recommend arriving slightly early to make sure you get a good seat on the boat.

The crew is amazing. Very kind. And to see dolphins in the wild with this amazing weather! Loved it! Everyone should do this at least once!

We had a really good experience spotting dolphins with Spirit of the Sea. Drinks were included and it didn’t take long until we spotted loads of dolphins, even some baby dolphins. It was a great experience. Personnel was friendly and knew a lot about the dolphins. The cruise was available in the languages Dutch, German, English and of course Spanish.

The staff was nice. But we did the tour twice but did not see any dolphins or whales (we received another ticket as we did no see any dolphins on the first tour).

Amazing tour where we got opportunity to watch dolphins in sea. Amazing experience where they took great care of us.

Not worth the trip. Even without the dolphins the boat does not do much or provide services that are of good quality. It would be more interesting to have some other type of programming as the probability of seeing any dolphins etc. is so poor. Even with some stories or explanations of the wild. I have attended many boat trips in my life ans this definitely was the most boring (lack of character) of them all.

Should be renamed „Spirit of the sick 🤮”I wish someone would worn me before I took this trip with my family. The worst 3 hours of my life. We were begging the crew to take us back as people on board were sick everywhere. Don’t risk it, stay away!!! Also, no dolphins, but noone cared as we were to busy puking 🤢

This was the worst boat trip I have ever been on. After 1.5h of sailing around in strong winds and quite big waves most of people on board were sick including myself and my 11 year old daughter. I have been on the sea many times before and never ever have been sick. The boat was very rocky, sea conditions were not friendly and people all around were throwing up and the captain and crew still kept us going for another 1.5h. No one on that boat was bothered to look up for any dolphins, we were all busy filling up our puke bags. Of course we did not see any dolphins and were offered a free trip on another day - what a joke!!!! Later that day, we have spoke with a guest from a neighbouring hotel and they have shared the same experience the day before. The crew cares only for the profit, they go out to the sea regardless of the weather condition then offer you another trip on that boat that no one will take because after 3h of throwing up who would like to do that again!!!. I wish I would read the reviews but I did not expect that TUI will deal with such bad sailors. We have been on a catamaran cruise in Lanzarote 2 years ago and it was more than pleasant with free snacks and drinks and plenty of dolphins jumping out of the water around the boat. You will see nothing like this with Spirit of the Sea-(sickness).

Nice boat trip around the south tip of the island. Dolphins were in the nature reserve area and we had sth like 5 to 10 minutes to take pics. Altogether a nice trip worth the money.

Staff were very friendly, very much worth the money. Went out on Thursday there was lots of flying fish but the dolphins didn't want to come out and play. However they allowed for another trip. As we were flying home on the Saturday night we booked for the Saturday and this time there was lots of dolphin's, the information provided was informative. Myself my husband and kids were very impressed with the time spent seeing them and for also helping the environment by catching some plastic floating by of which had small crabs which also impressed the kids. Thank you for a 2nd trip. (Not expected as you cannot predict what wild life will do!) Truely recommended and will come again on next visit.Becky and Paul.

We took the morning tour to see the wildlife and apparently we're very lucky. The team managed to find two type of dolphins which we really appreciated to see, on our way back we saw a shark which was a fortune. Generally speaking the team is very good, the boat and equipment is good as well. It is a two story boat so everyone has a view, and once you see the wildlife you can stand to the side of the boat and take photos. No problem seen. Was happy at the end of the trip.Good to mention they provide a free drinks, so don't need to take own.Masks are strictly required here as well, so for 3h trip you need one.At the end of the trip you have a chance to swim in the ocean close to the land, so need your normal equipment to take that.They have a photographer who takes a photo of you at the beginning and later tries to sell it to you, so keep in mind you can have a photo as well.

A great afternoon out Jan 2020. I didn't think the sea was that rough, probably 1 metre swell. A couple of people were sea sick and really shouldn't be doing this sort of experience. Great staff, very friendly and honoured their guarantee of a free trip if you didn't get to see any dolphins. On our free trip two days later we saw hundreds of Dolphins and a whale. Thank you Michael for your advice and thank you to the crew and Capitan.

Very friendly staff that took its time to help elderly people also getting to the railing and stopped several times to collect trash from the ocean. We had the 2h tour on a Tuesday morning and we saw a flying fish and lots of wild dolphins up close - it was great. No whales, but it also wasn't the perfect season. Absolutely worth it!

Brilliant trip!!!It is a nature and you never know how lucky you will be. We have chosen Spirit of the Sea because of size of catamaran (not too big) and not overcrowded like other ‘dolphin search’ vessels.It was a GREAT CHOICE!!!! We have seen hundreds of beautiful dolphins and couple of turtles. Really great trip - nice, relaxing. It was fully booked but we had no feeling that its too many people - brilliant. We were allowed to stand along the boards and bow keeping the handrails so people with GoPro cameras mounted on sticks were able to take underwater photos!!!Swimming time at the end of trip was nice too!!!!We highly recommend Spirit of the Sea. You will have a great day out with them for sure.Thanks!!!

A brilliant and well organised trip. They picked us up from our hotel and back again. The boat was comfortable and we saw lots of dolphins and turtles. I would have liked a little more information about the species/characteristics etc but apart from that I enjoyed it. The staff were ever so good with the passengers that did not feel well. I strongly recommend that you are aware of what a boat feels like and can do....it seemed to come as a shock too many! I recommend this trip.
