Whales and dolphins

Between late February and November is prime time to join our whale and dolphin trips. The excursion lasts approximately 2.5 hours and presents great opportunities to observe several species. Home to four resident and three migratory species, the Strait of Gibraltar is one of Europe’s top cetacean destinations. The Bottlenose Dolphin, Striped Dolphin, Pilot Whale and Common Dolphin are year round residents, while the Sperm Whale, Fin Whale and Orca can be seen as they travel through, or arrive to feed in the Strait of Gibraltar. 

We can guarantee a 95% success rate in seeing at least one of the four resident species.
