What people are saying about Playa del Inglés

The activity was very well organized. I haven’t had an experience neither with scuba diving nor with snorkeling, which is why I guess I was completely out of balance in the water, but thanks to my instructor Mari at the end I was able to swim through the reef and see some fish. Overall it was a really amazing experience.

Very interesting! Worth all the money. We saw many dolphins and even some orcas!!!Found out many stories about Puerto Rico, Mogan, Taurito and other wild beaches. For the snorkelling the water confitions were not good, but we enjoyed the swimming close to Perchel beach

I’ve never done surfing before, so this was my first time. Instructor was really nice and helpful, thanks to that I was actually been able to catch a couple of waves. I really enjoyed the activity and would definitely recommend it.

Absolutely incredible boat trip, the staff were informative, friendly and entertaining and the dolphin watching exceeded expectations. By far the best boat trip I've ever been on.

Had an enjoyable trip the captain was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome.
