Catch the big yellow bus

yellow submarine busA yellow submarine has to have a big yellow bus. It picks you up from your accommodation and takes you right to Puerto de Mogán. The bus is the most convenient way to get to the submarine dock.

Once you've visited the ocean floor and seen all the fish and wrecks, it takes you back home again. Or you can hang around in pretty Puerto de Mogán or spend the day on the golden-sand beach.

The bus price is included in the ticket price.

Do the guided tour of Puerto de Mogán

Yellow Submarine Tour of Puerto de MogánEveryone wanders around Puerto de Mogán but there isn't much information available about its history and highlights. The Submarine Adventure does a short tour of the harbour, its lanes and canals that is a great way to learn a bit more about Gran Canaria's prettiest marina.

If you get the big yellow bus, it stops for the tour before your submarine trip. If you make your own way to Puerto de Mogán, the tour starts under the blue flag here. Tours start at 

Choose your seat

The back is pretty cool too as you get to see the propellers and how the fish know exactly how to avoid them. Don't worry if you sit in the middle as there's loads to see out of the big windows.

Take a camera

Watch out for the moment when the sub releases fish food into the water as this is when they really go crazy and swarm around the windows. 

Turn your flash on and you can even take a selfie with all the fish in the water behind you.

Tip of the day

  • Exchange Money In Gran Canaria Or At Home?
    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.
