The local waters are home to three species of dolphin – Striped, Bottle-nosed and Common dolphins – along with seven species of whale, flying fish, turtles and sunfish.
Departing the quayside, we take a short ride to our Dolphin World Pleasure Cruiser, on which we will be able to combine seeing one of the most popular animals with a trip along a visually spectacular and historic bay.
Described as ‘the highlight of the Costa del Sol’, this tour will provide us with an entertaining commentary on the lives of dolphins. We shall also hear about the history of Gibraltar, including the Battle of Trafalgar, the Pillars of Hercules and its important role in World War II – a unique Rock tour by sea!
Our cruise onboard Dolphin World, lasting approximately 90 minutes, is ideal for viewing cetaceans in the bay and straits of Gibraltar, with the coast of Africa only a stone’s throw away. We can witness these fascinating creatures in their natural environment without disturbing them.
Upon returning to our berth, we will be transferred back to our awaiting ship.
TOUR NOTES: This tour is dependent upon weather conditions. Please note that the gangplank used to board the Pleasure Cruiser is not wheelchair accessible, and may include a few steps. A bar (refreshments are at the guests’ own cost), toilet facilities and a dolphin information centre are available onboard. Souvenirs can also be purchased. At the end of this tour, guests who wish to walk approximately 300-metres into town may do so, but will be responsible for making their own way back to our ship in time for sailing. There will be an approximate five-minute walk from the ship to the tour vehicles, and vice versa.
