About this tour
A three-hour boat excursion departing Puerto de Mogan that navigates Gran Canaria's dramatic coastline before anchoring at El Perchel, a secluded cove reachable only by water. Spend roughly 90 minutes snorkelling amongst local fish species, then refuel with Spanish staples: patatas con mojo, tortilla, bread and seasonal fruit. The boat is smoke-free, welcomes families and vegetarians, and includes snorkelling kit, an open bar and drone footage (weather permitting).
Highlights
- Towering cliff scenery along Gran Canaria's northern coast
- Private cove accessible by boat only
- 90 minutes snorkelling in clear Mediterranean waters
- Complimentary Spanish lunch and unlimited drinks
- Drone photography of your swim session
What to expect
You'll board at Puerto de Mogan and cruise past impressive coastal formations before reaching El Perchel. Here the boat anchors and you'll need to swim to shore—there's no beach access from the vessel itself. Once in the water, you're free to explore the cove and observe native fish without time pressure. Back aboard, tuck into traditional Spanish fare whilst the crew captures aerial photos if conditions allow. The pace is relaxed; expect mostly water time and genuine downtime rather than rushing between spots.
Good to know
Swimming ability is essential since you enter the cove by water. Bring your own towel. On Fridays, Puerto de Mogan's market day restricts car access to the port—contact the operator for parking alternatives. Children in prams are welcome aboard. Public transport nearby if driving isn't viable.
