Marine Wildlife Sighting Guide in Mogán

The south of Gran Canaria, especially the area of Mogán, is one of the best places to enjoy marine wildlife watching. The Atlantic waters, clean and rich in biodiversity, are home to a wide variety of species that make each excursion a unique experience. In this guide, we help you learn more about the wonders you can find during your marine adventure with Aquafun.

What Marine Species Can You Spot in Mogán?

Gran Canaria is a hot spot for marine wildlife sightings, offering the opportunity to see different species of dolphins, such as the bottlenose and common dolphin, as well as several species of whales, including the pilot whale and fin whale. It is also possible to encounter sea turtles, flying fish and other ocean inhabitants that make every outing a real adventure.

The Best Time for Marine Wildlife Sightings

The warm climate and calm waters of Mogán allow for whale watching activities throughout the year. However, the best time to enjoy the marine fauna in Gran Canaria is between the months of October and April, when more migratory species can be observed. During these months, it is common to see large groups of dolphins playing near the coast and some whales performing their spectacular jumps.
