Gran Canaria Blue: Turning the ocean into a lifestyle

Gran Canaria is all this and much more - a natural destination for water sports enthusiasts with mild weather all year round and fully equipped marinas offering every kind of experience, made possible by Gran Canaria Blue. The local businesses here are ready to showcase the full potential of their waters - so you can feel them, both through activities and through the landscapes and moments they offer.

Sailing with style

With over 30 years of experience in water sports, it is a luxury to be able to Water Sports Luis Molina on an exceptionally comfortable journey. With the Stingray Catamaran from Carla I, a sailing catamaran for up to 30 people, you can escape the hustle and bustle of Puerto de Mogán and discover the south-west coast of Gran Canaria with its breathtaking scenery and imposing cliffs. Each trip is customised to offer an exclusive and private experience. You also have the option of combining the adventure with other services such as parasailing or kayaking.

Adrenalin and fun

From its location in Puerto Rico Canary Water Sports has been offering the most exciting activities for years - adrenaline rush guaranteed! Jet skiing is one of the experiences you should definitely try. A way to glide over the surface of the water & explore the coast and discover unique beaches.

Groups are not neglected either: the Crazy Sofa is a real challenge for balance - just as fun as the El Diablo jet boat, a small speedboat where acceleration and spinning never stop.

More relaxing - or perhaps not, depending on how you look at it - is parasailing, where you glide high above Puerto Rico and admire the colours of the water and the surrounding nature.

Encounters with the ocean

One of the best activities - and one that will leave you with unforgettable memories of the island - is whale and dolphin watching. The connection with marine life and local wildlife on board the Spirit of the Sea is magical and helps to understand the importance of conservation and build a respectful relationship with the environment. These boat trips take you into the waters off the coast to observe and discover spotted dolphins, whales and other animals. During the two and a half hour trip, the captain of the boat searches for these animals and collects data to support the local university in its research projects. At the same time, he helps to clean the water of rubbish and rescue animals in distress - a mission that guests learn more about during the trip.

Riding the waves

One of the most popular sports along the coast of Gran Canaria is undoubtedly surfing. A sport that is perfectly suited to the local wind and current conditions and you don't need to be an expert to enjoy it.

That's why there are schools like the South Coast Surf School in the south, whose instructors are dedicated to guiding beginners, combining technique, a friendly approach and a love of the sea. The courses are tailored to level and age and are designed for pure fun.

The BD Surf School under the guidance of world champion Björn Dunkerbeck, with high-quality technical equipment and professional methodology, is ideal for improving your skills or receiving intensive training in a privileged environment, whether surfing or windsurfing.

Exploring the sea in all its depths

In addition to the activities already mentioned, on board the Fish On! try marlin, snapper or tuna fishing with their captain Pedro. There are also those who want to dive below the surface without getting wet - this allows for Submarine Adventurewhich dives to a depth of 25 metres in the south-west of the island to explore Gran Canaria's first artificial reef.

If you are looking for a trip full of relaxation and discoveries and want to experience the island from the sea, you can travel between the harbours or make short crossings. Líneas Blue Bird and Líneas Salmón connect the tourist harbours on routes that can be enjoyed as self-guided tours and offer a different, relaxed view of the volcanic landscape.

Sleeping with a sea view

After an eventful day, relaxation is also part of the experience. Gran Canaria Blue's accommodation is designed so that you can feel the sea from your room. A highlight is the Hotel Cordial Mogán Playawhose architecture is inspired by a traditional Canarian village and is located just a few metres from Puerto de Mogán, and the Apartamentos Cordial Mogán Vallewhich offer all the comfort you need for a family holiday and a few days of real relaxation.

Also part of this selection are the Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso & Hotel and the Gloria Palace Royal Hotel & Spaboth of which are renowned for their quality and service. The former is located on a steep cliff between Puerto Rico and Amadores beach and has one of the most comprehensive thalassotherapy centres in Europe. The latter is located close to the same sandy beach and offers luxurious suites with sea views as well as a water circuit, treatments and infinity pools.

Near Puerto Rico you will also find the Marina Suites with nautically inspired suites for up to four guests, a dedicated beauty corner and a kids' club - ideal for relaxing by the pool or taking advantage of the numerous sports facilities. The Marina Bayview, an adults-only property, offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from both its flats and villas with private hot tubs.
