About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- helenwM1637IZ0 contributionsFun afternoon tripWas an incredible 4 hour trip, the staff were very infomative about what was available and attentive to us all. Had a range of drinks and food available was delicious. Personally used the Jetski and did snorkeling which was so much fun for us. Albert was very kind and Juan the driver has clearly been doing this for years both would make sure everyone was okay throughout the trip. Lawrence who sold us the tickets was also an absolute delight with good banter and helped us choose this trip 😁 Also got to watch the gorgeous sunset and where we went was quiet and peaceful not over crowded which was lovely.Written 25 August 2024
- emmasN4478LN0 contributionsBest boat trip in gran canariaAmazing trip, luxurious experience. Alberto was great and the captain did a great job, would highly recommend for a relaxing luxurious trip with a bit of water fun should you wishWritten 17 July 2024
- David H0 contributionsGreat way to make memories to last a lifetimeWe hired a bot with crew for 4 hours in June 2024. Such a great experience from initial contact through to being dropped off at our hotel after the booking. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly crew, plenty of drinks and food all topped off with some great fun with the toys. Was a great way to spend a few hours while on holiday and make some special memories that will last a lifetime. Would recommend this to anyone.Written 8 June 2024
- isabellegE1191UL0 contributionsGreat experienceGreat staff , more than willing to keep your glass full. Presented a nice platter of picky bits. Goggles and snorkels included, with the clear water you were able to see fish. Good option for water activity’s.Written 10 April 2024
- lynnhaig680 contributionsFabulous day out - recommended. Ask for Ronnie and Suso as your onboard team!We had an absolutely fantastic private charter for 7 people ( 2 families) and were hosted by Ronnie and Suso. They were fun, helpful and friendly and we felt right at home. We booked for a 6 hour tour. The 5 x 18-20 year olds loved the jet ski and the sofa - which set sail courtesy of the captain himself (who was a demon on the jet ski). The boat was spacious and very well equipped. All snorkelling equipment (new) paddle boards etc were available. Ronnie and Suso made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The sea was warmer than expected and the sun shone all day! Would totally recommend Panda. I have given 4 stars instead of 5 for the following reasons - - The cruise itself was 5/5 !! - Check in on the jetty was rushed and your operator came across as rude and wanting us to spend as much on extras as possible so “we wouldn’t be bored”. The cruise cost 1200 euros… - I had emailed in advance to request some rose wine. Unfortunately this wasn’t on board. I paid 30 euros for a bottle of frexinet 🙈 Beer, sangria and soft drinks were included. Think you need a couple of bottles of local vino also included in the price. - lunch was basic and the youngsters (particularly the boys) were hungry. It was as described however perhaps could have been a bit more imaginative /warm tapas as it was lunch and not “snacks” due to 6 hours on board. We would definately return!Written 5 April 2024
- christophersN2711ZS0 contributionsGreat fun with Panda boatsIt was so much fun and very good value for money, we were told we can do pretty much wherever we want, Richard was very easy going. I will be back next year and would definitely recommend to anyone.Written 20 March 2024
- iank6460 contributionsLovely setting, dirty habitsThe first sign this wasn't the trip I hoped for was the strong smell of Elsan (blue chemical toilet fluid) throughout the boat. The boat was a tired Sea Ray Cruiser. The boat was piloted so slowly, the boat never got on plane. It was a slow trudge to a cove. The water activities, especially the Seadoo GTI (€35) were great fun. The setting was beautiful, but seeing the captain tell a passenger to drop his cigarette butt in the sea when the passenger asked for a recepticle was shocking, as was the staff dumping all the left over food over the side - even the gulls seemed disgusted. I have no idea why the staff don't let passengers put toilet paper in the loo - I hope they aren't avoiding wastewater charges, but given the way they treated the sea as a garbage dump, this thought crossed my mind. Overall, the boat was grubby, the trip was needlessly slow, but the setting was beautiful. The staff were polite and encouraging. I'm just appalled that they treat the marine environment the way I observed.Written 25 January 2024
- HelenJamie0 contributionsDisappointingWe were hopeful about the 4 hour snorkeling and dolphin trip with lunch. We searched TripAdvisor for a small boat as we wanted to enjoy a comfortable experience. I messaged the operator the day before as we have vegan/vegetarian in our group, they said they could accommodate us. We were looking forward to the trip. The boat was due to leave at 1.45pm, We received a text message around 12.30 saying the departure would be delayed until 2.30pm.. hmmm. Eventually we left just before 3pm. Not ideal. The boat was comfy and there were plenty of places to sit...but it was dirty - the toilets had not been cleaned between trips, the kitchen was a mess, all the bins overflowing and a filthy floor. The captain made no attempt to look for dolphins, instead we went straight to a beach where we were offered jet ski at an extra cost. Lunch was served, some crisps, meat, cheese, tortilla. I did get some salad and homous but it was pretty sparce. The remaining crisps and bits and pieces from lunch were chucked overboard. One of the other passengers was allowed to smoke on the boat and told to chuck the fag butt in the water. Really not acceptable. We had a pleasant day at sea as a family but the trip was not as sold, the state of the boat was unacceptable.Written 25 January 2024
- mariannehknudsen0 contributionsPerfect day on PandaboatsWe had an great time on the boat. The boat is beautiful, luxurios. The crew are very serviceminded and really fun. We had an teenager and he got extra time on the watersports. On the same trip it were young children and they got the full attention from the crew. The lunch was tapas and it was great. The crew made sure that we got our drinks at all the time. Next time we will book the boat for us only and for the whole day.Written 30 December 2023
- Heather H0 contributionsGreat 4 hours spent relaxing & having funAbsolutely brilliant trip, best 4 hours spent in the sunshine, relaxing on the front of the boat and soft cushions. Then enjoying swimming and paddle boarding, especially loved seeing all the fish when Natalia threw bread in to feed them all. Really great hosts, Natalia kept us supplied with plenty of drinks then later lots of different tapas dishes, also the Captain of the ship was very patient and helped me stand up on a paddle board. Great value for money would definitely recommend this trip.Written 21 October 2023
- Fionab440 contributionsBrilliant trip!Had a brilliant trip today with Tato and Oman. Really friendly crew and lovely fellow passengers. Spent first half on the front of the boat sunbathing before moving to the back to snorkel and swim off of the platforms. Sea was amazing and saw some very cool fish! Hubbie and I decided to do the jet skiing on way back, neither of us had jet skiied before. Was very simple to operate although watch out for the choppy waves! I struggled getting from jet ski back onto boat but the two guys helped me and were very patient/reassuring with me…even when they had to fish me out of the sea when I fell in 😂 Lunch was good, light tapas, just enough. Beer, sangria and soft drinks flowed for the whole of the trip. Fantastic experience, really glad we went 😊Written 11 October 2023
- Kelly B0 contributionsBEWARE 😳Felt completely ripped off to be fair and honest. The Seller lied that water activities were included in the price. Upon leaving the shore and after we had paid in FULL - 140 Euros x 2 people, we were shown a price list - EXTRA CHARGE for activities. We were also told this boat was brand new and owned by his millionaire friend. The boat was a bit shabby in places. I cut my knee quite badly on the top deck (walk way), no covering or protection. Please do your research with boat trips and ask ALL questions and have it in writing…👍🏼 the food was a small platter of nibbles and drinks tasted poor. You had to pay EXTRA for other drinks. Please see photos as I just want other people to be aware that you may not get quite what you thought you was getting..!Written 24 April 2023
- lailaFM0 contributionsExcellent trip and service in private boatWe had a fantastic trip with this great boat and Crew. We rent the boat to our self. We were 6 tota, 3 generations. It could not be better day. We got it as we like it. The service was excellent and we got homemade tapas onboard which was made by the captain Richard. I Can only recommand this trip❤️ it was a perfect end of our vacation with my Old parentsWritten 13 April 2023
- JJ W0 contributionsGreat value, highly recommendI had a group of 9 friends go a few weeks back. Great value given its ~ 75 USD for 4.5 hours with snorkeling and free unlimited beer/sangria. Ricard allowed my group to pay separate which made life a lot easier for us. Very scenic, highly recommendWritten 11 April 2023
- K1789BSlauraw0 contributionsPerfect trip!Excellent tour! Captain Richard Rico and his crew were super friendly and helpful. The boat itself was stunning, we set at the very front on comfy beds and were served cold beer or sangria. We saw flying fish , turtles on the way and a tone of multi colour fish when snorkelling. When we got to our destination we dived in the crystal clear water and had a go at paddle boarding and snorkelling (all included in the price) then we paid extra to have a go on the ‘crazy sofa’!! So much fun! They provided us with a tapas style lunch and more drinks then we took a slow amble back. Absolute luxury and a perfect trip. Huge thanks to Panda Boats, we will definitely book again.Written 11 April 2023

Our trip was borderline satisfactory. Negatives: no safety briefing. No information about the day ahead. The food provided was not as described in the listing and there was not enough for 12 people. Be aware, there is only one single stop on the 4hr tour. Other boat trips take you to multiple bays. This trip was a 50 minute slow cruise to a single stop-off. Around 90 minutes the boat is moored and then you slow-cruise back. Having done boat trips in GC in previous years; this year, we booked this more expensive tour on a motor yacht (as opposed to a larger catamaran type vessel) with the assumption that we would at least enjoy a few minutes of the faster cruising that these boats are capable of. Wrong. The tour is clearly run with the tightest of financial margins and minimal fuel usage. You’re on a lovely, powerful and capable boat but do not expect to be cruising/ planing over the waves. More plodding along at not more than 5-10 knots maximum. Disappointing. Skipper (Captain/ Driver) on his phone throughout the outbound leg. Feet on the wheel. Autopilot regardless, no one was paying attention to other marine traffic. Pictures taken. Now, positives: overall, it was an enjoyable experience once the obvious shortcomings are overcome. Yes, you are on a nice boat, and yes, you have a drink in hand (TOP TIP; they don’t tell you, but it’s open bar. They will allow you below deck to pour your own drinks from the fridge, although our crew only revealed this when asked). Our host, whilst he disappeared on a jet ski before he explained a plan for the afternoon or any safety briefing (where are the life jackets located for example), was, regardless, charming and friendly, and good fun. So he was a redeeming feature for sure and made the afternoon enjoyable at certain points (when he was actually onboard). But overall, an experience that leaves you feeling fleeced. Sadly, based on my experience, I would hesitate to recommend Panda Boat. Perhaps if they genuinely prioritised customer experience over maximum profits, the experience would have been satisfactory. But we left feeling like we had to really force ourselves to find the positives and ignore the negatives, rather than feeling relaxed, looked after and ultimately like it was worth while. A passable but regrettably disappointing afternoon. 3 out of 5 stars I feel is more than fair.

Good morning! We regret that where you bought the tickets did not inform you correctly, this is a tour to enjoy to navigate with ease and tranquility along the southern coast of Gran Canaria, as the description says, we make a stop where you will enjoy snorkeling, various aquatic activities and of the food, that is why we prioritize the tranquility and relaxation of our coast, we do not rush at any time so that you can enjoy the views and swimming and activities without rushing. We are sorry that you enjoyed it completely. And thank you for your constructive criticism. See you soon

Done this trip on Sunday 19th of May 2024, booked the 2pm till 6pm. Price was €75 pp.
I understand these trips when booking are hyped up by the rep course it's their job.
What we were told was not what we got the only thing that saved this trip in anyway for my self and my partner was then two crew were nice and the snorkeling spot was very beautiful.
We were told the trip included the following.
•only 12 people, no other both like it won't get it anywhere else
• ulimited drink, such has beer, fizzy drinks. Water and sangria
• each person to have their own sun lounger
• Food
• included is price of pick up and drop off from hotel.
• leave at 2pm, was told come at 1.45 as the boat would be gone at 2pm
• told extra actives came at certain prices.
What we got
• 13 people on the trip, I no it is only one more my point is we paid a certain price for a group of 12 people, this bothers me because of other issues to follow.
• we had 40 minutes left of this drip, however when my partner asked for a drink he was told this us your last one.
• there was not a sun lounger for everyone. There was a bunny pad at the front of the boat with 10 spots. For only we got on 1st we would of had to sit at the back of the boat. Which would have been fine if we were not promised something else.
• the snack was pitiful. There was a little ham, olives, small bowl of salad. Small basket of bread, one plate of cheese with about 10 slices on it. Two small bowls of chips and a little bowl of pretzels. This was not enough for 13 people. Considering you pay for food.
• price for pick up should not have been included in our price as because we were a 14 min walk to the harbour we were told we won't f**cking collect you.
I did not need to be collected was happy to walk as I was doing it daily but we should have not been charged for it.
• arrived at 1.40, no sign of a rep or guide, called them at 1.55 and was told its ok to wait on other people might be 10 mins late.. we did not leave until 2.30.
Yes we came back 4 hours later at 6.30 but not after floating outside the harbour for 30 minutes to waste time for the 4 hours to be up.
• extra activities were more expensive then we were told, so we could not take part as we brought an alloted amount from the information we were given
Overall we are not happy with the details as I said the snorkeling was beautiful and the crew were nice and tried there best with what they had. I understand this but its not acceptable and I would never book with this company again. I find the whole effort shocking and think things may need to be looked at moving forward. I cannot recommend this trip.

Me and my boyfriend paid for the 4 hour boat trip and had bought our own snorkeling gear. We are originally from Sweden.
Worth to mention that I have high functioning autism.
When we got on the boat I got a bit anxious about getting sea sick, so we asked the staff if the had sea sick pills on board, which they hadn’t. Luckily my sea sickness got better once the waves calmed in the middle of the jearny.
Got a bit concerned about the safety, though there were no life jackets or seat belts on board.
When lunch time arrived I went down stairs to stand in the line to get out lunch. When I was the first in line one of the boat staff gave me a very wierd comment though he said that “you should start smiling more” and then said it to me more intensely “please smile more” and then he even grabbed his own cheeks and made a faked smile, in order to demonstrate how a smile looks like. The whole room heard that and I’m pretty sure his staff colleges hear that as well.
I got chocked and overwhelmed, and couldn’t react in the moment, and felt a bit humiliated.
I then lost the interest to go snorkeling, so me and my boyfriend got of. Which was very disappointing though we paid around 1500 SEK for the trip.
When we were getting of the boat, the same boat staff (can’t remember his name unfortunately) grabbed my arm and shouted “are you already leaving??)
I have never felt so put off in my life and I found the man’s behavior very offensive.
If there is a way to speak to this man’s manager, then we are open to get contact details.

Hello gentlemen, I am very sorry for your experience. But I'm afraid there's a big mistake and you'll ask you to check the company's details, because there are details that don't fit at all. We don't give the food in line, we serve the food on the table and by its description, that is clearly not our boat. We have twice as many life jackets as required by law, we give all our customers snorkeling equipment and of course and most importantly, we have a philosophy, that doesn't fit at all, not even for a second in our way of doing things. I would ask you to make sure that company name and photo any details, that you can make the review that you deem appropriate in its appropriate place. Thank you for your attention and best regards. Richard

The trip was very well organised, the very well equipped boat left on time and the crew members Cristo and Marcos did everything they could to make sure the guests were well taken care of.
Beer, soft drinks and sangria were included in the price along with food. There was no scrimping and Cristo kept the drinks flowing.
There was paddle boarding and snorkeling equipment included in the price with Jet ski an option for a small additional cost.
My wife and I had a great day, the boat was not crowded and at €75 per person very good value for money.
I should at that we were sold the tickets by Lawrence who wasn’t at all pushy and described the trip very well.

What a great day ! Boat was luxurious and the crew fantastic. We had a 10 people trip and there was lots of space , so don’t be worried about the 12 people maximum capacity.
The crew and captain were knowledgeable, safe and kept us entertained all day (4 hours) (Ronnie, Suso and Azael) were just perfect and very entertaining.
Views are spectacular, you can relax or do the water sports ( at an extra cost)
Unfortunately towards the end
Of the trip I felt a bit sea sick so remember to take your tablet before you go if you suffer ! Do let that spoil your day and it certainly did not spoil my trip. Crew were very caring when they realised I was a little motion sick!
It’s a memory that will stay with you in a very positive way !
Thank you and see you next year !

Returned from our 3 hour trip feeling a little deflated. We originally set out looking for a dolphin tour but came across Panda at €510 for 3 hours. The salesperson assured us that we would be able to specify to the captain that we wanted to see dolphins but were warned that it would result in less snorkelling time.
The boat is really nice and the staff Ronnie and Kenneth were nice enough; poor Ronnie had to clean up sick from two of our younger passengers but she didn't make a fuss about it.
We got in the boat and sat at the back of the boat while the boat moved out of the harbour at a slow pace. We were expecting the speed to pick up as we made our way on the open sea but this wasn't the case, it continued to move at less than 10 knots for the duration of the trip which massively impacts what you can do/see in 3 hours. We were told by Ronnie that it wouldn't be possible to see the dolphins on this boat.
We arrived at the snorkelling area around 1.15hr after boarding the boat and were able to get off the boat and sit on the raft, snorkel and use the paddle board. Whilst we were doing this, Ronnie and Kenneth prepared the snacks which again were pleasant enough. On a side note, the paddle boards are very unstable, I’m no expert but have used paddle boards several times and never had an issue standing up; 3 of us that tried were all unsuccessful!
You are able to pay to do various water sports activities while you are in the snorkelling area, however they are quite expensive and we were only here for 45 minutes before setting back off to the harbour.
The ride back to the harbour was a leisurely 1hr or so and was pleasant enough as we all sat on the front of the boat.
Although the experience was
Good, I don't think it was worth the money and would probably go on a bigger boat next time for a lower cost.
Nothing against the people or company, just not for me.

Good morning! First of all, thank you for your opinion and tell you that we normally travel slowly so that it is a pleasant and relaxing trip for everyone. We are glad that you were comfortable on our boat and we are sorry that you did not like it and we only travel with a maximum of 12 people. We are not a large boat with more people if that is what you were looking for. Greetings.

Hello, I highly recommend this experience, we had a great time, Marco and Cristo were wonderful and always attentive to everyone.
The boat is magnificent and super spacious.
We took the motorcycle experience and we loved it.
Then you go to a small area where you can swim, they will make some joke about sharks but hey hahaha, you are with several activities and then they prepare a snack for you which is very good.
I highly recommend this experience because it is 4 hours at an affordable price and you meet people.
ALL THE BEST.

Albert and Azael were perfect hosts and made this day amazing! You get picked up and dropped off at your hotels so don’t need to worry about getting there yourself. They always check on you and make sure you’re doing ok and enjoying yourself, always topping up your drinks and offering you more. The tapas style lunch was perfect for a hot summers day and was also delicious! You also get a good amount of time yo do activities and swim as they stop off for 2 hours to do swimming, paddle boarding, jet skiing(for an extra price) i would 100% recommend this trip if you’re looking for something to do

What fun it was!! We had a wonderfully enjoyable boat trip, well organized and incredibly sweet staff. I had stubbed my toe and the nail was loose and bleeding, Alex bandaged it up and drew a little figure on the bandage tape that he named Jimmy to the amusement of all of us. There was also a child on board, every time she saw 'Jimmy' she laughed. The captain was also very nice and had a lot to say. How hard those people work and how nice they are! Recommended !

One of the highlights of our holiday in Gran Canaria.
We booked a 'shared' morning trip (10am-2pm).
Made our own way to the harbour, where there was plenty of parking (€1.80 per hour).
We were the first on board so got the pick of where to install ourselves.
2 other groups joined - so 10 passengers in total. The boat is spacious with plenty of room for everyone (it is bigger than it looks in some of the photos).
Boat cruises out gently a few miles along the coast, then drops anchor for a couple of hours for swimming, snorkeling, SUP and sofa rides, before returning to port.
Some of the activities are chargeable extras (jet ski, sofa ride, parasailing) - but there's no hard sell.
Beverages and some light snacks included.
Overall a great way to spend a few hours on the water, and would gladly have stayed longer.

Hello, please help me book the date of the cruise „ 4 Hour Boat Tour with Snorkeling from Puerto Rico and Mogan” on 03/09/2023 at 10:00 AM for 10 people.
