The south-west's marinas — Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogán, Arguineguín — are the gateway to Gran Canaria's sea: warm water almost all year, hidden coves and a coast that mixes cliffs and beaches. A boat trip adds swimming, snorkelling and, with luck, dolphins.
Shared catamaran with a swim
The most popular option: catamaran trips that cruise the south coast, stop to swim in a cove and often spot cetaceans along the way, with food or drinks on board. Ideal for a relaxed day at sea.
