On The Water With Gran Canaria's Legendary Afrikat
With a maximum number of 67 passengers, a cruise on the Afrikat catamaran is a fun and relaxing day out on the Atlantic Ocean and the perfect way to see Gran Canaria from a brand new angle.
This tour is the perfect balance between fun and relaxation and the crew are always friendly and keen for everyone to have a great time.
Leaving from Puerto Base, Puerto Rico, the Afrikat cruises along the stunning south west coast of Gran Canaria, past Anfi, Tauro and pretty Puerto de Mogán and often anchors at sheltered El Perchel Bay with its calm, clear water.
Here you can relax on deck, swim or snorkel (free equipment provided) or take a speedboat ride with the captain. If you want to do something more exciting, you can parasail, jetski or ride a banana boat at heavily discounted prices.
Then it's time for the buffet of Canarian potatoes, meatballs with sweet sauce, salads and bread rolls. Beer, sangria, soft drinks and water are included and the cocktails are reasonably priced and come with eco-friendy edible straws.
As the sun starts to drop, you cruise back along the coast as Gran Canaria's coast lights up in the warm afternoon light.
Price includes return transport from the areas of Bahia Feliz, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, Sonnenland, Arguineguín, Patalavaca, Mogán, Taurito & Playa del Cura.
Alex Says: The Afrikat schedule changes throughout the year so ask our booking experts what trips are on during your holiday. It's a popular trip so book your spot in advance

Exchange Money In Gran Canaria Or At Home?
Visitors to Gran Canaria often ask whether it is better to exchange their local currency for euros at home or in Gran Canaria.
The answer is that it is almost always better to buy your euros at home than it is to bring pounds to Gran Canaria and use local banks or currency exchanges. This rule of thumb applies all over the world. A currency is almost always cheaper the further away you are from the place you can spend it (because demand for it is lower).
Exchange rates are almost always better at home than in Gran Canaria
You are very likely to get a better exchange rate using a British currency exchange specialist or local bank. Many of these companies will deliver your euros to your home.
One of the best rates in the UK is often from the post office, especially if you do it well in advance.
The only way you'll get a better rate in Gran Canaria than at home is if the exchange rate changes while you are travelling and this is rare.
You also have to bear in mind that currency exchanges in Gran Canaria are getting rarer and some local banks don't exchange money for non-clients.
To Transfer large amouynts of money to Gran Canaria, or to make regular transfers, always use a reputable currency broker such as Currencies Direct. This will save you money on exchange rates and bank charges and is highky secure.
The risk of bringing cash to Gran Canaria
Another important factor to consider is the risk of bringing cash to Gran Canaria: If it is lost or stolen, there is no way of getting it back.
It is much safer to bring a debit or credit card and use local bank ATMs to take out money. These days, a good option is a pre-charged debit card.
Cards may be slightly more expensive that carrying cash, unless you seek out a bank card with low commissions, but it is much more secure.
Bank ATMs like Bankia, Santander and BBVA often charge lower rates than the ATMs in shopping centres and busy tourist areas.
Alex Says: Always select the Euro option at ATMs in Gran Canaria because the exchange rate is much better than if you opt for the Local Currency option. The same applies when you pay by card in shops and restaurants.
