What to Expect on Your Dolphin Tour

The waters between Marbella and Gibraltar are home to several dolphin species, including bottlenose, common, and striped dolphins. Our experienced skippers know the best areas and times to find these beautiful creatures. While we can never guarantee sightings—as dolphins are wild and free—our success rate is excellent, especially during calm sea conditions.

Important: Dolphins are wild animals. While sightings are common in this area, they can never be guaranteed. Our priority is responsible wildlife watching that respects the dolphins' natural behavior.

Best Times & Conditions

Best Season

Dolphins can be spotted year-round in Costa del Sol waters, but spring (April-June) and autumn (September-November) often offer the calmest seas and excellent visibility. Summer is popular but can be busier.

Ideal Conditions

Calm seas (under 1.5m swell) and clear mornings offer the best spotting conditions. Our team monitors conditions daily and will advise on the best time for your trip.
