Thank you very much for giving us a review, especially regarding the responsible cetacean watching. I have to say that all the tour boats in Gibraltar and also the ones I've seen from Tarifa, all watch in a responsible manner, however some competitors claim and make slurs against each other and us to get more customers which I don't find...

You are quite right we do offer a free ticket to come again if you don't see dolphins, but for this season we are now coming out of the what we call 'No Do' season, which is generally March... More

The staff of the yellow boat interrupted us when we were talking to the blue staff, which is just disgusting. The dolphin safari was really nice and i would come back... More

Myself and my wife went out on the dolphin safari last week. We had an excellent trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. At the start of the trip, unfortunately, a line became trapped on a propellor in the marina. The delay was not a problem and the quick thinking crew got bottles on water onboard for the passengers, which was a... More

After having a long drive from Ayamonte close to the Portuguese border to Gibraltar we were excited to be just in time for a dolphin safari. Though - frankly - the price ain't low for a boat trip it's worth every penny... especially when being lucky as we were to see so many dolphins in an amazing playing mood. It... More

The staff are wonderful and very knowledgeable about dolphins and where to find them. Remember to have your camera with you to snap the dolphins and other wildlife that is about. Allow one and a half to two hours for the trip. The dolphins came up to the boat and appeared to be playing with us, jumping around the boat.... More
