Puerto Rico, a vibrant coastal town on Gran Canaria in Las Palmas, Spain, sets the stage for one of the island’s most compelling maritime experiences. The 4-hour sailing excursion aboard the Afrikat 69 catamaran is a standout adventure offered by Tour2B, a local outfitter that brings visitors face-to-face with the island’s spectacular marine environment. This trip is not just a cruise; it’s a carefully curated journey along Gran Canaria’s rugged coastline, where volcanic cliffs rise sharply from the Atlantic, shaping a dramatic seascape rarely witnessed from land.
Departing directly from Puerto Rico harbor, the Afrikat 69 is a sleek catamaran equipped for comfort and adventure. Passengers receive complimentary snorkeling gear, inviting them to plunge into the crystalline waters of protected marine areas teeming with marine life. The waters around Gran Canaria are famed for their clarity and biodiversity, including vibrant fish species and underwater volcanic formations. This combination of sailing and snorkeling perfectly highlights the island’s geological contrasts—from jagged basaltic rocks to soft sandy coves.
Lunch served onboard offers a taste of local flavors paired with refreshing drinks, ideal for soaking up the sun and sea breezes. Unlike typical crowded boat tours, Tour2B’s approach emphasizes a slow pace and intimate connection with the environment, making it a top choice for travelers seeking a genuine maritime experience without the hassle of transfers.
Beyond the natural beauty, the area around Puerto Rico is historically significant as a hub of maritime trade dating back centuries, linking the Canaries with mainland Spain and beyond. Conservation efforts have maintained the health of the coastal waters, ensuring future visitors can enjoy abundant wildlife and stunning underwater scenery.
