Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I am always on the lookout for activities that promise both fun and learning for the whole family. Our recent trip to Puerto de Mogán in Gran Canaria was no exception. The allure of a boat trip combined with snorkeling was too tempting to resist, especially when I heard rave reviews about the Yellow Boat Mogan experience.

The day began with a warm welcome from our hosts, Marta and Ruben. Their friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, and I could see the excitement in my children’s eyes as we boarded the beautiful yellow boat. Marta, our captain, expertly navigated the waters while Ruben engaged with all the guests, sharing fascinating tidbits about the island’s history and geography. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and education, something I always strive to find in our family travels.

Discovering the Underwater World

Our destination was the secluded cove of El Perchel, accessible only by boat. As we approached, the anticipation grew. Ruben provided us with an information sheet detailing the various fish species we might encounter, and my kids were thrilled at the prospect of identifying them in the wild.

The snorkeling gear was top-notch, with full-face masks, snorkels, and fins available for everyone. I appreciated the care taken to disinfect and rinse the equipment after each use, ensuring a safe and hygienic experience. My children, armed with noodles and a paddleboard, eagerly plunged into the crystal-clear waters.

The underwater world was teeming with life, and we spent a blissful hour and a half exploring. Ruben even sent up a drone to capture videos and photos of each of us, a delightful memento of our adventure. It was heartwarming to see my kids so engaged and curious, learning about marine life in such a hands-on way.

A Feast for the Senses

After our snorkeling escapade, we were treated to a delicious spread of Canarian potatoes with mojo, Spanish omelette, and fresh bread. The food was a hit with everyone, and the option for seconds was a welcome surprise. As we dined, we enjoyed unlimited soft drinks, beer, and homemade sangria, all while soaking in the stunning views of the Gran Canaria coastline.

The boat itself was a marvel, thoughtfully designed and incredibly comfortable. There were no gimmicks or distractions, just pure enjoyment of the natural beauty around us. Marta and Ruben’s hospitality made the experience even more memorable, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for such a perfect day with my family.

In conclusion, the Yellow Boat Mogan trip was a highlight of our vacation, offering a unique blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. It’s an experience I wholeheartedly recommend to any family visiting Gran Canaria. What are you waiting for? Book it and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones!
