Cruise from Puerto del Carmen on a spacious catamaran timed for sunset. You’ll get a welcome mojito, snacks, and one drink, with guides speaking English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Dolphin sightings are possible but never guaranteed. Transfers serve many Lanzarote hotels.

“The boar was lovely with plenty of seating. The welcome drinks and food were great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The views were brilliant. There was some confusion about whether a passport was needed (it wasn't despite email saying it was) which caused some concerns but it was a brilliant day and good value for money. I would highly recommend.”

“This was fantastic, our collection for the trip was prompt and organised. Ticket scanning took a while but once on the boat we were off quickly! We had a cloudy night so the sunset was lovely but not incredible, however we did get to see dolphins which was the most wonderful experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable, the driver fantastic and the cake and drink was lovely while watching the sun go down! 100000% recommend.”

6.Small Group Dolphin Sunset Tour on Electric Catamaran Lanzarote

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

Join Gonzalo, Silvia, Patricia, or another member of the WeWhale team in Puerto Calero for a 2.5-hour sunset cruise aboard the electric catamaran La Santa Maria. With space for only 12 people, you’ll watch for dolphins, hear about Canary Islands marine life, and enjoy drinks, snacks, and views of Playa Quemada and Femés.

“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.”
