  Climb aboard the 97-passenger boat at Puerto Rico harbor and look for whales and dolphins in their natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean. Get up close to the beautiful animals as they swim through the waves on an unforgettable experience that is suitable for all ages. Sail along the southwest coast of the island in search of marine mammals and benefit from the services and expertise of the friendly multi-lingual crew. Get up-to-date information about the sightings and different species.  Avail of a boat equipped with a large glass bottom in both keels to experience life below the ocean waves without getting wet. Encounter a great diversity of animals including pilot whales, bottlenose dolphins, green turtles, and flying fish. 

  After 45 mins we reached the dolphin spot and we saw many dolphins. We then continued to another spot and saw another kind of dolphin. The crew was very nice and showed us where to look.

  3. Gran Canaria: Poema del Mar Ticket

  Poema del Mar invites you to discover all the secrets of the Blue Planet. A magnificent journey across the five continents through the different species that inhabit here. Stroll through La Jungla which is home to goliath groupers, freshwater turtles and crocodiles. See Nemo's world in the Beach Zone where the clownfish live.  The final stop is the Deep Sea, an area with the largest curved window in the world. Its 36 meters wide by 7 meters high windows are perfect for observing the sharks.

  Def would recommend going first thing in the morning as it is empty and you can enjoy the views better. One of the nicest aquarium I have ever been.

Alles sauber und coronakonform Nur das Premium Buffet war ein Schälchen aus Plastik mit kalten Mojokartoffeln , ein paar Stücken kaltem Hühnchen und Nudelsalat.
