The passenger area is very cramped, the swell induces seasickness and it is very humid. Virtually the only fish seen were in the harbour before the engine started and we left the dock area. The boat suffers from excessive vibration and the engine is noisy, which seemed to frighten the fish away when leaving the harbour. The front and rear hatches are left open which seems to allow diesel fumes into the passenger area. Only consider this excursion if the sea is flat calm if you suffer from seasickness. The cramped nature of the passenger compartment below the sea surface could make visitors who suffer from claustrophobia feel very unpleasant. The viewing windows are large and allow a good view of the sea about 2m below the surface but are quite dirty so makes photography challenging. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this excursion, I couldn't wait for the 30 minutes to end so I could get out!

Multi lingual hosts on board Spirit of the Sea! The crew could not have looked harder for any sea life but, like us, the dolphins must have been on holiday!!! They do offer a free return trip however, if you have time. No where on your website, for this particular trip, does it say there is a swimming stop! Not prepared! This needs to be mentioned.

Very pleasant tour in the mountains. Fortunately, the weather was great and the views spectacular. The guide was very interesting and helpful and the driver was perfect on the mountain roads. If you want to see the main spots in the mountains of northern Gran Canaria, this is the trip for you. Highly recommended.

Don't book this tour. The tour operator cancelled our booking the night before our tour, saying they could not accommodate due to capacity issues. We had booked this trip a month before and for them to say this the night before indicates they either didn't bother doing the tour or took a different group that booked last minute instead. Absolute time wasters AVOID. Those looking for a similar tour can find a good one we found that has more than a handful of reviews like this one does, that other tour was great, and they laughed about us booking this tour originally as the tour guide here is known for being useless.

Can't give a review as we were not picked up! We spoke to the guide on our Friday tour who said he would pick us up at the same place (our hotel) and the same time. When he failed to arrive I tried to ring him, but his mobile was not accepting calls. I made a complaint to TUI, who said that I couldn't get a refund as we had failed to arrive! Please check your tickets for the pickup location and don't rely on the guide!

Excellent tour. Well organised. Amazing volcanic scenery. Visits to the camels, emerald lake and winery were interesting. The morning pickups took some time which was the only downside. Recommended.

Absolutely brilliant. Met so many other people who I had such a laugh with...and the free bar is such a free bar...great fun, wish i was still on the boat.

Never ever imagined seeing so many live dolphins in an ocean dancing and enjoying fully . The boat / trawler journey on sea ocean and back was marvellous. Wish we were allowed to do some fishing which would have been a unique opportunity and become a memorable experience

Views were amazing and Paul the tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. We didn’t spend much time at the park centre though was mainly the camel ride area and the vineyard the end. Was overall a nice half day trip and for the price I would recommend.

First the good bits: the guide Antonia was informative and the tour around Timanfaya National Park and the displays at the centre (hot stones, burning brushwood etc. ) were interesting. Definitely better to do this on an organised tour as the queues for people in cars were extremely long. Before that we did the camel ride which I wasn’t initially bothered about but decided to do it as was only 11 euros extra. This was surprisingly fun. The less good bits were having to change buses and wait around at the start while other groups joined us. Also the wine tour was not a tour at all, you are led into a dark room where you get to try a tiny sample of 1 of 2 wines. The one I had was ghastly (personal preference of course) but this cannot be sold as a tour. The lunch was average, an extra 14 euros and debatable if it was worth it but you’re a bit captive. Bring your own sandwich instead as there is a place to sit and picnic instead. Not a bad day out but I wouldn’t do it again.

A full on day, picked up from resort then up to Lagomar - Omar Sharif briefly lived there, a stunning artist designed house inspired by César Manrique. Then onto the Cactus Gardens for a visit - who knew there were so many Cacti. Then onto Orzola for the ferry to La Graciosa where we had a wander, a paella lunch with wine and then time for the beach and to explore further. We loved it and would like to return to La Graciosa. A multinational tour and our guide for the day, Rachel, was excellent although translation three ways slowed things down. Finally returned to resort. Great value.

It was cancelled without explanation which isn’t unusual here. I was angry as places on tours were almost impossible to get generally and this was my last day and I could not get a place on any other decent tour. Be warned about booking anything in gran canaria as my motorcycle booking was cancelled too.

My biggest problem was with the online booking company through TripAdvisor Tour2b. They emailed me before the holiday to say they reduced the tour from three hours to two and a half- I was concerned that this reduction meant we could no longer swim off the boat and the online company said that swimming was no longer an option but they would pick us up from our hotel. They didn’t pick us up as they hadn’t added us to the pick up list. So they rebooked us for the afternoon, we got there and didn’t see any animals and we found at the end of the tour there WAS a swimming point but as I had been told differently I didn’t bring my swimsuit. The tour operator on the boat was very nice and gave us a voucher for another trip but I booked this trip for my birthday and I was really disappointed by the whole experience. I would not have been so disappointed to not have seen anything if the rest of the day was not such a mess.

We are a couple in our late twenties and we really enjoyed this park - the animals are clearly well cared for which was lovely to see and the animals were friendly with opportunities to feed various baby animals such as piglets and goat kids. We got to ride on a horse for a couple of minutes around the Main Street which was lovely and the entry price is very good for the four shows that we got to enjoy. The actors were great and they made the effort to have bilingual Spanish and English characters and the stories were easy to follow so the majority of visitors can understand. Drinks reasonably priced! Would recommend for an adults trip as well as families.

Just wow , what a wonderful experience we saw lots of pilot whales and seas up so close .beautiful scenery and the chance to take a swim . The staff were fantastic friendly and the guide was informative. The food wasn’t to my taste but I am pretty fussy and I still managed to get by . Lots of drinks on tap ( self serve) toilets were clean with enough to mean no queues . I’ve been on a few of these excursions and this by far beats them all hands down . I highly recommend
