1.Dolphin-Watching Sunset Cruise with Transfers

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,435 reviews · 2 hours · from $60Our pick

A 2-hour Lanzarote sunset catamaran from Puerto del Carmen with transfers, mojito and snacks, and wild dolphins when conditions allow.

“This was an amazing trip. Pick up was easy, we got dropped off at the hotel as it was raining at the end. The boat ride was smooth, some beautiful sights, and we saw dolphins which was incredible. The drinks were lovely too. The only thing for me that could be improved, was labelling the food so we knew what it was. As a vegetarian it would've helped lots. Overall, this was an amazing experience and im so glad we booked it. Thank you so much!!”

The BBQ (cooked on board by Bruno) was delicious. We had a really fantastic afternoon. Thank you.”

“Our recent sailing trip was an amazing experience! The energy on board was fantastic, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making everyone feel at ease right from the start. One of the best parts was the unlimited drinks throughout the trip, which kept the good vibes going. Lunch was a simple but tasty affair—pasta with tomato sauce and a fresh salad (no meat), which hit the spot perfectly after some time on the water. A little tip: if you want to secure the best spot on the boat, make sure to queue up by the kiosk after collecting your tickets from the main office. The boat can fill…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 106 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Small-group electric catamaran sunset cruise from Puerto Calero with OceanBeer, snacks, and a real chance at dolphin sightings on Lanzarote.

“Highly recommend this experience. The captain was extremely knowledgable and kind (giving me a jacket when I was cold towards the end). However, it was meant to come with snacks and drinks for the price. We had to share some corn between two of us (in a half of a coconut) and no drinks. Would have liked it to been faster about in the boat as I found 4kz a little slow when in the open sea. However, this is me being picky and would give it 4.5 if I could.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 88 reviews · 4 hours · from $112

4-hour whale and dolphin tour from Puerto Calero on Lanzarote’s fully electric catamaran. Silent sailing, hydrophone, snacks.

“We actually switched to the sunset experience as we were the only customers booked for the morning session, but I don't think there was any difference with the outcome. We were fortunate to spot two types of dolphins during our trip and we really enjoyed sharing the experience with the crew who were very passionate about what they do! The catamaran is very cool and you feel very close to the water.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $114

Silent, emission-free catamaran from Puerto Calero for whale and dolphin spotting with hydrophone listening, snacks, and small-group comfort.

“Booked this trip last minute as I really wanted to see the whales and dolphins and the advert made it seem special. The boat was clean and well kept and the crew friendly and informative. We sailed out a long way and with the sea breeze and sun disappearing behind clouds quite often it did get a bit nippy out there so best to take layers in case you need to wrap up at times. Snacks and drinks were offered throughout the trip which was fab and we managed to catch the spout of a Brydes whale at one point on the way back. No dolphins seen unfortunately. I was…”

“The boat trip was definitely worth the money! Small amount of people on the boat so you get free roam. The food was insanely good on tge boat as well and loads of options. The drinks are self service so that’s a massive plus as there were no ques. The activities were exactly as described and so much fun, even gave us the option to upgrade to jet skis. For the transport it’s definitely best to learn a small bit of Spanish for communication. 10/10”
