We booked the 2 hour Dolphin Search and Coast Tour on the Supercat Catamaran.
The supercat was comfortable and felt safe. The crew welcoming and helpful.
We left the coast and headed out to deeper water and then, as if by magic the dolphins appeared.
A couple swam close to the catamaran.
A short distance from the cat, on both sides were groups of dolphins
breaching in the water. One group was a nursery group.
We also saw flying fish and a roq whale.
A wonderful morning- we were so privileged.
Lo hemos pasado super fantastico: muchas gracias a todos y hasta la proxima 🚜🤠
We hebben onlangs een buggytocht gedaan op Gran Canaria met gemengde gevoelens.
Het ophalen en afzetten bij het hotel verliep netjes op tijd en volgens afspraak, wat een goed begin was. Bij aankomst kregen we echter een 4-persoons buggy in plaats van de geboekte 2-persoons variant. Uiteindelijk hadden we wel gewoon één buggy per twee personen (we waren met vier), dus dat was op zich prima opgelost.
De uitleg vooraf was erg minimaal. We kregen eigenlijk alleen te horen dat we de buggy niet in de L-stand mochten zetten, maar verdere instructies ontbraken. Tijdens de tocht reden we in een groep van zes buggy’s, met een gids voorop op een quad. Hij reed voorzichtig en hield ons goed in de gaten, wat in het begin prettig was om even te wennen.
Helaas bleef het tempo gedurende de hele tocht erg laag. Na bijna elke bocht werd er gestopt zodat iedereen weer kon aansluiten, waardoor we telkens tot stilstand kwamen. Hierdoor hebben we eigenlijk nergens echt lekker kunnen doorrijden, wat wel onze verwachting was van een buggy-ervaring.
Halverwege kreeg de gids pech met zijn quad en moest hij overstappen in een buggy. Alsof dat nog niet genoeg was, gingen tegen het einde (ongeveer een half uur voor terugkomst) ook nog twee buggy’s kapot. De inzittenden moesten verdeeld worden over de overige buggy’s, waarna we alleen nog maar stapvoets terug konden rijden naar het beginpunt.
Al met al teleurstellend in rijplezier, begeleiding en materiaal.
Hello,
We are genuinely sorry to hear that the excursion did not fully meet your expectations.
At the same time, we would like to point out that mechanical issues can occasionally occur during this type of activity. Buggy tours take place on demanding terrain and the vehicles are constantly under stress, so although regular maintenance and safety checks are carried out, unexpected breakdowns cannot always be predicted or avoided completely.
Reading your review carefully, it also seems clear that the organisation handled the situation responsibly. You mentioned yourself that the hotel transfers were punctual, the guide drove carefully, kept the group under control and made sure everyone stayed together throughout the excursion. Safety is always the number one priority on guided buggy tours, especially when participants have different levels of driving experience. For this reason, guides often maintain a controlled pace and regroup the convoy regularly.
We also feel it is important to add that this operator consistently receives a very high number of positive reviews from guests who enjoy the experience exactly because of the professional organisation and focus on safety. In fact, other participants from your same tour group also shared positive feedback after the activity.
Of course, we understand that every customer has different expectations and we respect your opinion. We are sorry that the driving style and the unforeseen mechanical issues affected your overall enjoyment of the excursion.
Kind regards,
Discover Gran Canaria Team
Everything went to schedule. Trip was great. Driver was excellent and tour guide helpful and knowledgeable.
Amazing boat trip! 🐬 We saw dolphins and so many sea creatures—such a magical experience. We’re super happy and highly recommend it from the bottom of our hearts! 💙
Superbe matinée buggy en famille
Bien organisé
Bonne accueil à refaire les yeux fermés
Jolis paysages
Beaucoup de rigolades
Et la fin est éclaboussante 😅
Ich habe die Tour spontan gebucht. Wir waren zu Viert unterwegs. Meine Frau, ich und meine Töchter. Es war richtig cool. Wir hatten alle Spaß. Die Veranstalter haben super Stimmung gemacht. Wir waren zuerst in den Bergen unterwegs und haben die Insel erkundet. Dann kam ein Offroad Teil, der es echt in sich hatte. Die Buggys wurden an ihre Grenzen gebracht. Es war super cool und ich kann es auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.
We just finished a really wonderful jeep safari tour with Jer (Jeremy) in Gran Canaria. The scenery was breathtaking, there were a couple of lovely stops to take in the views and see a pretty in-land village, and above all Jer was incredibly knowledgeable and really friendly and fun. He really made the trip so enjoyable and we learnt so many interesting things about the island. We would definitely recommend taking one of these tours if you are staying on the island, especially if you can be lucky enough to get Jeremy as your guide too!
This is a great trip that takes you to some special, hidden towns in Gran Canaria. The journey is an adventure on twisty roads through interesting scenery and gives you the chance to see a side of the island many people miss. The team are great and do all they can to ensure you have a great day - an excellent trip - thank you!
4h30 de catamaran au top😍😍😍😍
Une super equipe, le repas très bon on recommande a 100% ce moment magique
Fue una excursión perfecta, para niños y mayores. La tripulación súper amable en todo momento. Vimos muchos más delfines de los que esperábamos. Un placer ver a animales en libertad.
Davvero ben organizzati e offrono tante avventure diverse per far conoscere l'isola. Grazie!
The trip to see the dolphins was absolutely wonderful. The weather was perfect—bright and clear, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. There were some waves out on the water, but the captain handled the boat really well and kept everything smooth and comfortable. Seeing the dolphins in their natural environment was amazing, and the whole outing felt both exciting and relaxing. It was definitely a memorable experience that I’d highly recommend.
Beautiful boat, plenty of space and good visibility for everyone.
A super nice, very attentive, friendly, and highly motivated crew.
Amazing dolphin sighting (a huge pod of dolphins with many babies — we were able to accompany them for quite a long distance).
A pleasant lunch break with good food and a swimming stop.
Overall, a wonderful, relaxing, and at the same time exciting trip.
I cannot recommend this tour enough ! Excellent safe driver with excellent information throughout the whole day. Great stopping off points with time for lunch in lovely Tejeda ( not included in price ) and able to buy the famous almond cake from the bakery on the Main Street. Your holiday would not be complete without doing this tour !
Did the Panorama tour was excellent. Driver very knowledgeable (Charles) excellent driver as well. Would really recommend. Showed completely different side to Gran Canaria
On my birthday, 15-2, we did the Sparkle tour. We had a lovely day, thanks to our excellent driver Ibon and Dutch guide Fabricius Fabio. Most of the passengers were Dutch people (Fabio and Jan and me too) but Fabio told everything in English and Dutch for the two English people. We learned a lot about Grand Canaria and saw the beautiful part of Grand Canaria. It was a very interesting day. We recommend the trip with these two man!

Super excursion avec des paysages vraiment splendides et variés. La guide était très professionnelle et nous a donné beaucoup d’informations pratiques et utiles pour profiter au mieux de notre séjour.
Petit retard au pick-up le matin, mais rien de grave et bien géré.
Je recommande sans hésiter!
This was a very disappointing day from start to finish. The whole day was very disorganised including the failure to reserve a lunch stop which meant most of the afternoon was spent finding somewhere for people to eat who wanted to. I had brought my own food so was left hanging around for 90 minutes in a small village with nothing to do. This is advertised as a minibus tour with a small group but minibuses travel in convoy with a person on one using a radio mike to tell us what was to be seen. She was very clear that she wasn't a guide and would be fined if found out.
I expected a good experience as this was 20 euros more expensive than a coach tour supposedly because we would be taken to places coaches could not go. However we saw coaches everywhere we went.
We joined the tour last Sunday and it turned out to be a truly special experience. We were lucky enough to visit Tejeda during the Almond Blossom Festival, which made the atmosphere even more magical.
Due to the huge number of visitors in such a small village, it was a bit challenging to find a restaurant for lunch, but this was absolutely understandable and didn’t take away from the experience at all.
The excursion itself was beautiful, the places we visited were stunning, and the guide was professional, knowledgeable, and well prepared, managing everything calmly despite the busy day. A wonderful tour that we highly recommend.
Lo Sparkle Tour è stata un’esperienza molto piacevole e ben organizzata. L’itinerario permette di scoprire alcuni dei luoghi più belli e autentici dell’isola, con panorami spettacolari lungo tutto il percorso.
La guida è stata professionale, preparata e disponibile, rendendo la giornata scorrevole e interessante. Un’escursione ideale per chi vuole conoscere Gran Canaria in modo rilassato ma completo. Consigliata.
We had the 10 person yacht tour to see dolphins and it was amazing! The boat and staff were lovely and we saw so many dolphins which was truly outstanding! The food provided was lovely and snorkelling time! There were drinks provided which included beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks, the only thing I would say is that the drinks are advertised as unlimited but the beers ran out after 2 each and if you don’t like wine or sangria there aren’t any other options but still this was fine! Would definitely recommend!
Booked this trip with 24 hours notice after finding it online. Prompt communication via whatsapp. Free hotel pick up included along with a return after the trip.
My daughter (13) and I really looked forward to this and it’s now one of our holiday highlights! Small group on the boat, great crew looking after us, drinks provided on board and lovely fresh lunch prepared for us. Two swim stops with gear like kayak and paddle boards made it extra fun! Highly recommend!
Absolutely loved it and would definitely go again.
