Other species found in these waters include common, striped and spotted dolphins, plus fin and pilot whales. Dock in Puerto de Mogán, often referred to as "Little Venice," and enjoy free time to wander the colorful streets, shopping for local crafts, and soaking up the village's relaxed atmosphere.

If your idea of Sunday fun means browsing market stalls, sampling local specialities and soaking up local culture, then this morning trip will be right up your street. You'll stop at a viewpoint first to take in the famous Bandama crater, then head into the mountains for a look at two of Gran Canaria's most authentic markets.The first market is in San Mateo. It's located in a fertile valley, and is the perfect setting for growing fruit and vegetables.After that, you'll then visit what many consider to be the prettiest town on the island – Teror. Colourful colonial houses, overhanging wooden balconies and views of the cloud-shrouded mountains are just a few reasons why it's so highly regarded. You'll have a chance to explore the stalls of its street market and maybe buy some local chorizo before heading back.
