Dolphin Adventure is simply the best way to see Gibraltar's Dolphins, wild and free, while taking in the stunning views of The Rock of Gibraltar and the coastlines of Spain and North Africa.

Gibraltar is famous the world over for its ever present population of wild dolphins, with transient dolphins visiting the bay and Straits of Gibraltar for food, shelter and to breed in their thousands.

Let us take you on an adventure into the world of these enchanting animals. Your Dolphin Adventure captain and crew know best, through years of experience, the dolphins favourite playgrounds so you could find yourself amongst a pod as large as 200 or more. You will watch in amazement as they gracefully swim and play around the boat right at your feet in a natural display of acrobatics. Dolphins are known to have a mystical connection with humans and watching a wild dolphin surfing on the bow wave is a truly unforgettable experience.

The New Boat

Our new boat "Dolphin Adventurer" is the only catamaran used in Gibraltar for dolphin and whale watching trips. She has been custom built to our own design and is crammed full with state-of-the-art electronics and safety equipment. She is the only tour boat in Gibraltar that has been built to the latest UK safety regulations, giving you peace of mind for you and your family. The massive twin hulls give the smoothest of rides and incredible stability, unlike single hull vessels which can roll around. At almost twice the width of most boats of her class the passenger viewing area is extremely large with a raised platform giving some superb views of the dolphins.

We can now cruise faster in absolute comfort meaning we can take you further and show you more. Getting to the dolphins quicker means more time with them, not a shorter trip!

The Whales

Our new boat now allows us to run regular whale watching trips. Excursions will go out into the Straits of Gibraltar where we can find many species of whale, and of course more dolphins. Most often sighted is the Pilot Whale but there are also sightings of Minke, Sperm and Fin whales, even the amazing orca, Killer Whale, can pass through the Straits stopping to feed on the way. Whale watching trips will last approximately 3 hours and will be scheduled a few days in advance so please ring to check for the next sailing.

We are the only company to offer a dedicated whale watching trip into the Straits so booking is essential!
