Great advisor on the waterfront, everything was explained well, honestly and booked in under 10mins. Very reasonable price compared to other locations. Transfer was quick and easy to harbour. Despite me not talking Spanish and the instructor not knowing much English we were able to communicate and had a great time. Thank you to all the team

We wanted to mark our anniversary with 4 friends on some nice private boat with champagne and lovely tropical fruits. After searching online we saw that Faro Excursiones has several options. We have sent request two weeks earlier and got immediately details about the boat, food, drinks and minibus. On the day, everything was perfect! They suprised us with funny game on the boat what made our celebration unique.
Thank you guys

We have just returned to Scotland after 11 days in the sun! And we couldn't have done the trips if it wasn't for Ivana and this wonderful agency! I got in contact a few weeks before we arrived on the island and ask for some advice and prices! Replies were quick and professional!
We ended up booking 3 tours before we arrived the private catamaran which we reviewed separately FANTASTIC so great we booked to go again while there on our last night! We went on the jeep safari and we also booked the buggies! Sadly I couldnt do the buggies as I became unwell but they were so helpful and arranged for my deposit to be returned! So unexpected as wasn't worried about losing it! Or a chance to do it later sadly it was out second last day!
Will use again when we return for sure! Nothing was to much trouble!
Thanks again xx

Faro Excursiones is at the perfect location next to Faro / Ligthouse in Meloneras on the promenade. Me and my friends wanted to see dolphins so we asked for options. Very kind, friendly and professional lady gave us some good tips. We had a great day at the boat and decided to book another excursion. They gave as a good discount for the second one. I will definatly call them again when I want to enjoy some other excursions.

We wanted to do a boat trip to see a bit more of the coast and to maybe see dolphins etc. We came across Ivana on the sea front at Maspalomas and she very quickly went through several options with us, assuring that the boat would go out a least 4 miles from the coast, further than the others and we would see dolphins etc. She was very good at her job, although we did have to re arrange the catamaran trip from the Tuesday to the Saturday as we had a call saying the boat had damage, bit annoying but i guess things happen. We were disappointed to say the least that on the Saturday of the trip that we cruised a few miles along the coast, dropped anchor in front of a beach and thats where we stayed for a few hours. then after a small lunch probably at a cost of no more than 10 euros per person, we then headed back to the marina. All in all this was a very expensive trip for the time it took, no more than 4 hours, 160 euros for the both of us and feel it was mi sold as certainly didn't go out far enough to see any dolphins. All in all wouldn't bother, far better things to spend your money on!

Thank you for yur comment.
I´m really sorry that you were not satisfied with the services rendered on the boat. That was the one with the best rating on TripAdvisor.
Anyway, I would like to reply on one part of your comment. The catamaran that you have chosen, as all the other excursion boats, has a licence to go up to 3 miles from the coast, and you were clearly informed about it. I have offered you other boats allowed to go up to 15 miles in a serach for dolphins, and they cost starting from 30 eur per person. But, you preferred the one with less people and more activities incuded.
Regarding the time spent on the boat, the owner just informed me that it was between 10.15-15.20. For your information, the owner is the guy with whom you spoke about the Ryders cup and the acquisition of the property in Gran Canaria.
Wish you all the best,
Faro Excursiones team

We were lucky enough to come across Ivana on the sea front at Maspalomas. We were looking to go out on a boat and hopefully to see the dolphins. My husband wanted to do a few activities so we were a bit confused as to which boat trip to take. Talking to Ivana was like a breath of fresh air. Not only is she stunningly beautiful but has an amazing command of the English language. I am in no doubt she speaks several other languages too. She was especially patient with us as we weighed up our options and never once put any pressure on us to book any specific trip. She went through it time and time again explaining what each trip consisted of until we were sure we had booked the right trip for us. We immediately felt we could trust her and her judgement and it was a pure pleasure to do business with her. She is a true asset to the company. We booked a Katamaran trip through her and it was amazing, everything she said and more. We called round the following day to feed back to her and she said she was delighted that we had. Certainly look out for this company as I would book with them again in an instant. Thank you Ivana for helping to make our holiday so special.

We just come back from Maspalomas, and it wouldn't be that good without great excursion organization from this agency! Our girl liked the most the dolphins watching from the glass bottom boat and visiting Palmitos park! With Ivana and Bojan you can arrange anything you like, private or group... 5+ for them!

I strongly recommend them, such an amazing and helpful team! They will pick you up from hotel and take you where activity takes place. I did 3 different activities each day, buggy, parasailing and jetsky, so I can assure you will have fun with a professional team, that's why I kept returning everyday, but vacation is over got go now, but still have some activities to do, I will be back 😎

I wanted to organise a special day trip around Gran Canaria for myself and my husband before we arrived on the Island as we only had 7 nights on holiday.
Found Faro Excursions on TripAdvisor and liked the reviews.
I emailed and received a number of very prompt replies from Bojan until we agreed on the best option. Ivana then kindly visited my hotel at an agreed time to deliver the tickets.
The VIP minibus excursion including wine tasting and lunch was first class. Fantastic day out showing off a lot of the non tourist parts of this beautiful island.
Highly recommend using this tour company.

We wanted to visit different beaches by sea and explore the shore from a different perspective. We found Faro Excursiones and they were very flexible with our requests and arranged an excursion for 5 of us. To say we had a wonderful time is an understatement, we visited beaches that can't be reached by a car. The Guigui beach was our favorite with its crystal clear water and beautiful nature. We also had delicious tapas and drinks. The service on the boat was top notch and I would highly recommend this experience to everyone. Thanks Faro Excursiones for making our day a memorable one!
