Daily sailing trips- 5 hours sailing trip- max 10 persons- snorkelling - lunch, soft drinks, wine and beer included. We invite you to join us on our yacht New Karolka, for a wonderful voyage on the atlantic ocean. Excursions start at 9.30 am from Puerto de Mogan and head out across the crystal clear beautiful blue waters to the south west of Gran Canaria.We invite you to become one of the crew, hoist the sails and helm the boat, or, if you prefer, just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Either way you will have the opportunity to experience the freedom, tranquillity and peace of mind, that can only be found on the open ocean. Dolphins and flying fish often accompany us on the trip and if we are lucky sometimes whales too. We will stop for lunch, weighing anchor, in a wonderfully picturesque and secluded little bay. Here you may take the opportunity to simply soak up the sun, but if you wish to be a little adventurous, the bay offers great snorkelling and a deserted and wild beach.After lunch we begin our sail back to Puerto de Mogan, arriving around 3 pm. During the voyage we offer lunch on board, soft drinks, wine and beer. Don't forget to bring a smile and we'll do the rest! WE SPEAK ENGLISH, POLISH, SPANISH

What a fabulous trip! Perfectly hosted by Marek & Dagmara everyone was made to feel welcome. We shared our experience with a group from Poland and discovered our hosts were multilingual switching with ease from Spanish to Polish to English thereby ensuring everyone was included in conversations. Our hosts were passionate about sailing, knowledgeable about the island and happy to share experiences from various trips they themselves have taken. Food and drink were good and included in the price as was the use of snorkelling equipment. Unfortunately, we picked a day when there was very little wind so didn’t get the full sailing experience, but the voyage was still an entertaining and relaxing way to spend a few hours. All in all a superb trip which we would highly recommend and will repeat should we return to Gran Canaria.

What an amazing day on the ocean! Juan is an excellent host. The tapas was delicious, food and drinks were plentiful, beautiful views on and off the yacht, the lunch was just as delicious as the early day tapas. All of the positive reviews here are totally accurate. The day was so relaxing, with plenty of swim time, beach time, and sunning on the deck time.

Lunch provided on board, catered for all taste, drinks provided throughout the trip.
Had two children under two with us...VERY FAMILY FOCUSED..

Boat trip with Dolphin and Whalewatching. Swimstop in beautiful bay .Free snorkeling and bananaboat.Bbq and all drinks included. Free transfer from hotel.

We went on the morning trip... lovely boat and a good host. 13 people on the trip and enough space to sit... drinks and food included... you can help yourself to soft drinks, beer and Tinto verrano. Food they do chicken kebabs, salad bread and cheese. They don't cater for vegetarians when we asked they said it was the tuna salad bread and cheese... there isn't a huge amount of tuna in the salad but it's not ideal it would be hard to pick out. Salad was nice as was the bread and cheese. We saw an amazing amount of dolphins and then we moored up in a bag and had the option to swim or snorkel there were flats and woggles. Lots of fun if you wanted to do the banana boat it was included and you could pay extra for paragliding as well.
Definitely recommend this trip it was great... be even better if they did a veggie meal

I dived with this Gran Canaria Divers in March of this year, and I was so impressed at the time that this trip I booked three days of diving. It was fantastic! Very competent staff, who are good fun too, good equipment. The school is small enough to feel really personal and the staff and especially Patrick took really good care of me and of my safety.
I did three dives on the house reef, and strange as it may sound, they were my favourite ones! We saw an angel shark, octopus, cuttle fish, baracuda and all the usual suspects. The reef really is full of life. The night dive on the house reef was splendid, thanks Gran Canaria Divers, I will be back!

Having been before in 2012 we decided to hop on a 25 min bus ride form Melonares to Mogan for a re visit!
Plenty of things to see and do! We walked along the beach front and the harbour. It’s stunning with a nice balance of shops and restaurants.
Well worth taking towels and having a few hours on the beach, market days are good on a Friday

Found this by mistake but so glad I did. It's a reasonably tough climb but nothing anyone with decent fitness won't manage. The beauty of the ascent is that you have to walk up the windy steps through tiny Spanish alleyways and you really get the feeling you're in a little Spanish town. It's very quaint.
At the top the view is spectacular (see photo) - you can see right over the port and the town and on a good day quite far into the distance. You can perch up here and take in some Sunshine too.
If you're able then this is a must see.
