About The Florida Boat Trips
Enjoy a relaxing boat trip in Gran Canaria aboard the Florinda, a small and comfortable boat experience departing from Puerto Rico. Choose from a shared boat tour, private charter, or a special excursion towards the wild and remote Güigüí Beach, with food, drinks, snorkelling and paddle surf included.
The Florinda is ideal for guests who prefer a more personal boat trip rather than a large commercial catamaran. With limited capacity, the atmosphere feels more relaxed, friendly and exclusive, making it perfect for couples, families, groups of friends, birthdays, stag and hen groups, or anyone wanting a comfortable few hours at sea.
During the trip, you can enjoy time in the Atlantic, cool off with a swim, try snorkelling, or use the paddle surf equipment when conditions allow. The clear waters around the south and west coast of Gran Canaria make this a great choice for guests who want a mix of relaxation and light water activities without the rush of a busy tourist boat.
One of the strongest selling points for Florinda is the Güigüí Beach excursion. Güigüí is one of Gran Canaria’s most remote and natural beach areas, known for its wild scenery, volcanic cliffs and difficult land access. Many visitors reach it either by boat or by a demanding hike, so visiting by sea is one of the most comfortable ways to experience this special part of the island.

- Duration: Shared, private and the Güigüí Beach excursion trips are usually around 3 hours. The afternoon are usually around 4 hours.

- Bring a towel, sun cream, sunglasses, comfortable clothing, and a camera or phone. A light jacket is recommended outside the peak summer months, along with any medication you may need.
- Suitable for couples, families, friends, and small groups looking for a more personal boat experience. Ideal for private celebrations and guests interested in exploring quieter, remote coastal areas such as Güigüí.
- Languages: English and Spanish are normally available. German or French may be available in some cases, so this should be checked when booking.
- Accessibility: This trip may involve boarding a boat, moving around on deck and getting in and out of the water, so guests with reduced mobility should contact us before booking.

The Florinda Boat Trip Gran Canaria is a relaxed and scenic boat experience departing from Puerto Rico, designed for guests who want to enjoy the ocean in a smaller, more personal setting. Instead of a large commercial boat with big crowds, Florinda offers a more intimate way to explore the south and west coast of Gran Canaria, with space to relax, swim, snorkel, enjoy food and drinks, and take in the island’s volcanic coastline from the sea.

Florinda is a great option for couples, families, friends and small groups looking for a comfortable boat trip with a friendly atmosphere. The boat offers both shared trips and private charter options with an additional option for a visit to the beautiful beach of Güigüí, giving you the choice between joining other guests for a social day on the water or booking the boat exclusively for your own group. The shared Florinda trip has 11 seats, with prices listed at €75 for adults and €55 for children, while the private option is available from €150 per hour with a minimum of 3 hours.
One of the main reasons to choose the Florinda is the balance between comfort and adventure. The trip is not too rushed and not too formal, making it ideal for guests who want to enjoy a few hours at sea without committing to a full-day excursion.
During the trip, food and drinks are included, along with snorkelling and paddle surf equipment. This gives the excursion a nice all-round feel, especially for guests who want more than just a sightseeing cruise. You can relax on board with a drink, enjoy something to eat, then take the opportunity to get in the water and explore when conditions allow. Free transport as included, making it a convenient option for many guests staying in the main southern resort areas.
The Florinda is particularly suitable for visitors staying in Puerto Rico, Amadores, Arguineguín, Taurito, Puerto de Mogán, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and Meloneras. Puerto Rico is one of the main boat trip departure points in Gran Canaria, and its location makes it ideal for exploring the calmer southern coastline and heading further west towards some of the island’s more dramatic coastal scenery.
For groups wanting something more exclusive, the Florinda Private Charter is one of the best options. Hiring the boat privately means the experience is just for your group, which works very well for birthdays, family celebrations, couples, small stag or hen groups, or friends who want a more personal day out. Private hire also gives the trip a more relaxed and flexible feeling, as you are not sharing the boat with other guests. It is a good middle ground between a standard boat excursion and a luxury yacht-style experience.
Another strong selling point is the Florinda Güigüí Beach Trip. Güigüí Beach is one of the most remote and natural coastal areas in Gran Canaria, known for its wild scenery, volcanic cliffs and untouched surroundings. Because it is difficult to reach by land, visiting by boat is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience this special part of the island. The Florinda Güigüí option is listed at €100 per person, with a minimum of 5 people and maximum of 11 people, making it a small-group excursion rather than a mass tourism trip.
The journey towards Güigüí gives you a very different view of Gran Canaria compared with the busy resort areas in the south. As the boat travels along the coast, you can enjoy views of cliffs, hidden coves and open Atlantic water. It is the kind of trip that feels more natural and adventurous, but still comfortable because you are travelling by boat rather than hiking for hours to reach the area.
The Florinda experience is also a good choice for guests who enjoy marine life and nature. Depending on the route, sea conditions and luck on the day, there may be a chance to see flying fish, turtles or dolphins in the surrounding waters, although sightings are never guaranteed. The focus of the trip is the boat experience itself, the coastline, the swimming stops and the relaxed time at sea, with any wildlife sightings being a natural bonus.
For families, Florinda can be a very appealing choice because the boat is smaller and easier to manage than some of the larger excursions. Children can enjoy the excitement of being on the water, while adults can relax knowing the trip is not overly long or too intense. The provider states that excursions are suitable for children and that child-friendly life jackets are available, although children must always be accompanied by an adult.
The trip is also suitable for beginners when it comes to water activities. You do not need previous experience to enjoy snorkelling or paddle surf, and the crew can provide guidance where needed. This makes Florinda a good option for guests who want to try light water activities without booking a dedicated water sports package. You can take part as much or as little as you like, depending on how relaxed or active you want your trip to be.
Food and drink being included is another important benefit, as it makes the excursion feel more complete. Rather than simply going out on the boat and returning, you can enjoy a proper break at sea with refreshments included in the experience. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly menu options may be available if requested at the time of booking.
Overall, the Florinda Boat Trip Gran Canaria is a strong choice for anyone looking for a smaller and more personal boat excursion from Puerto Rico. Whether you choose the shared tour, book the boat privately, or go for the special Güigüí Beach experience, Florinda offers a relaxed way to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean, the sunshine, the coastline and the clear waters of Gran Canaria.
It is ideal for guests who want something more intimate than a large catamaran, but still want the key ingredients of a proper Gran Canaria boat trip: beautiful views, swimming, snorkelling, paddle surf, food, drinks and time to unwind at sea. For couples, families and small groups, Florinda offers a simple, scenic and memorable way to experience Gran Canaria from the water.
