Details
Puerto Rico, a vibrant coastal town in the municipality of Mogán on the southern tip of Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, offers more than just sun-soaked beaches and bustling tourist scenes. Here, Tour2B delivers an immersive gateway into the Canary Islands’ marine wilds, specializing in dolphin and whale watching activities that promise to connect travelers with the Atlantic’s lively aquatic residents. Departing from the lively marina in Puerto Rico, Tour2B’s fleet includes the Spirit of the Sea, Magic Tres catamaran, and the high-speed Supercat, each designed to maximize views and comfort during the excursions.
What distinguishes Tour2B’s offerings is the combination of marine wildlife encounters with the dynamic coastal scenery of southern Gran Canaria. Giants of the sea such as pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins are regularly sighted, weaving through the volcanic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, while seabirds wheel overhead. Unique to this region, the underwater volcanic landscape creates upwellings that enrich marine biodiversity, drawing animals close to shore and into the path of these cruises.
Beyond simple spotting, Tour2B offers a mix of activity combos including parasailing over the scenic Taurito, Mogán, and Playa del Inglés beaches, adding an aerial perspective on the ocean and island’s rugged profile. Whether cruising the coast on the Magic Tres or racing the waves on the Supercat, these trips provide a front-row seat to Gran Canaria’s blend of marine ecosystem and sun-drenched geography.
Local knowledge and a commitment to respectful wildlife interaction means Tour2B supports sustainable tourism that minimizes disturbance to the animals while maximizing educational value. This makes Tour2B a standout operator for travelers seeking a marine adventure rooted firmly in the natural wonders of Gran Canaria. For those scouting out whale and dolphin watching in the Canaries, Tour2B offers accessible, authentic, and thrilling experiences from the gateway of Puerto Rico.
