Description
Set sail for almost guaranteed dolphin sightings in the Straits of Gibraltar from Gibraltar city. See dolphins in the wild from the comfort of a boat with on board refreshments and toilet facilities.
Join this 1 to 1.5-hour dolphin watching trip and sail with the original Gibraltar dolphin tour operator. With 43 years in the business, the experienced crew can boast more than 20 years combined experience spotting wild dolphins.
You will sail across the Bay and Straits of Gibraltar, on board a state-of-the-art trihedral hulled boat, which allows for greater manoeuvrability to move with the dolphin pods. There is an indoor cabin, as well as frontline seating for your comfort, and Dolphin Safari only take 25 passengers maximum to allow everyone space to move.
You will see dolphins so close you can almost touch them, typically just 18 inches from an outstretched hand. Full live commentary will be provided throughout the trip and sailings typically last 1-hour to 1.5-hours, although spring sailings can be up to 2 hours long.
Look out too for whales, although be warned that these sightings are very rare. Whales have much larger lungs than dolphins and can stay under the surface for over an hour, traveling a greater distance before surfacing. Dolphins have smaller lungs and surface regularly spending the majority of their time on the surface, making it easier to spot them.
