The sun lifts off the volcanic spine of Gran Canaria and the quiet electric hum of the Rodman 1100 replaces the usual engine roar. You step aboard Senda del Azul at Pasito Blanco Harbour with seven other passengers; the boat slips away from the marina without jarring the surface and the Atlantic seems to breathe with you.

History
Gran Canaria’s coast is shaped by volcanic flows and centuries of fishing culture; Pasito Blanco evolved from local harbors to a modern marina serving tourism and conservation-minded operators.
Conservation
The operator runs a low‑noise hybrid vessel to minimize disturbance and donates part of proceeds to WeWhale; visitors are asked not to feed or touch wildlife and to follow crew guidance.
