Description
Gibraltar is known for its large population of transient dolphins that visit the bay to feed, shelter, and breed. This 1.5-hour cruise offers the best way to observe these dolphins in their natural environment. The captain and crew are knowledgeable about the dolphins’ favorite areas and can often find pods of 200 or more individuals.
Guests can move around the boat freely to enjoy 360 degree views of dolphins as they swim, leap, surf the bow wave, and perform natural acrobatics. The dolphins often come close enough to hear their splashing, breathing, and sonar whistles used for communication.
It is common to see dolphin nursery schools, including baby dolphins swimming alongside their mothers. Other marine life like whales, turtles, sunfish, and shoals of flying fish escaping predators may also be spotted during the cruise.
