Dolphin Watching in Gibraltar
Embark on a thrilling adventure across the Strait of Gibraltar, where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Spain and Morocco while witnessing dolphins and other cetaceans in their natural habitat. This unforgettable experience allows you to immerse yourself in one of the world’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems.
We’ll meet you at your chosen pick-up point in Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Marbella, or Estepona. Once on board, settle in and enjoy a comfortable journey towards Gibraltar. As we drive, our expert guide will share fascinating anecdotes and little-known facts about this British territory.
Upon arrival in La Línea, we will cross the border into Gibraltar (don’t forget your documentation). You’ll then have free time to explore the city. Visit attractions such as Casemates Square, the Alameda Botanical Gardens, or stroll along Marina Bay. You can also explore beaches like Sandy Bay or Catalan Bay, or indulge in some shopping on Main Street.
Our dolphin-watching boat departs from Gibraltar’s port. Sail through the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. During this 90-minute boat trip, our on-board guide will explain the fascinating species we encounter and share insights about the region, which is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Afterward, you’ll have more free time in Gibraltar to explore further or enjoy lunch, perhaps savouring the famous Fish and Chips. At the specified time, we’ll gather again and begin our journey back to your original pick-up point.
