Relax during the pleasant and peaceful boat trip along the coast of Mogán while you receive interesting information about the areas the boat is passing and about Gran Canaria in general.
You will see some of the major contrasts of the island: Mountains with abundant vegetation surrounded by dry regions, tourist centres near virgin-like areas and untouched beaches, as well as landscapes with agriculture and fishing industry near tourist areas.
During the excursion you will get to know the transformation and evolution the south-eastern coast of Gran Canaria has experienced during the past 50 years, being originally a completely agricultural region which has become mainly touristic at present.

Come on board of the "Lopesan Spirit" and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere during the pleasant boat tour along the south-eastern coast of Gran Canaria.
During the tour you will receive interesting information about the history, morphology and orography of Gran Canaria in general and particularly of this part of the island. Additionally the guide and the Spirit's crew will show you photos of the touristic evolution of this region in the past 50 years.
Discover a coast full of contrasts where you will see grottos, cliffs, ravines, lava mountains, beaches, holiday resorts and fishers' villages, as well as isolated and untouched beaches and bays during the different stages of the excursion.
Navigating close to the coast the boat will take you from the harbour of Puerto Rico to the beaches and tourist resorts of Puerto Rico, Amadores, Taurito and Puerto de Mogán until it gets to the area of Veneguera. Passing Puerto de Mogán you will see untouched and uninhabited landscapes of great beauty with very difficult access from land. At this point the "Spirit" will get away from the coast to a distance of approximately two sea miles and then it will start the way back towards Arguineguin, passing Anfi del Mar until it finally enters the harbour of Puerto Rico again. During this last part of the excursion you will have a different perspective of the island and will be able to see some of the highest mountains of Gran Canaria of more than 1.900 m.
During the excursion you will also see lots of other ships and you may participate in entertaining activities during the boat trip.
The excursion includes the transfer from the hotel, as well as soft drinks and canapés on board.
