    We managed to see so many dolphins and they swam really close to us as well! I found a discount online, so the trip only cost me 20£. It's worth noting that the ticket you get, you can get discounts in all the bay area if you want to dine later. I didn't have the time for it. The trip itself I think was around 90 minutes and it's beautiful getting there as well, you can see Gibraltar from a bit afar and it's just magnificent. The ship wasn't crowded at all and the staff were really nice and made sure we were safe. :)

    Trip was cancelled/changed last minute which meant loitering around the marina for a couple of hours although they did try to contact me via text without success (not sure why they didn’t just email me as well). The boat was large enough for the group we had (about 12). The trip out to the dolphins took around 15/20 minutes. Didn’t take long for the dolphins to appear. Some dived under the boat which gave us a close up view of the wonderful show offs! We spent around 20 minutes observing the dolphins then we made our way back which was a great opportunity for some distant shots of the Rock. Also a scheduled BA flight came in which was good to watch. Shame we weren’t a bit closer to the runway. The who trip lasted about an hour which was just long enough I think.

    Blue boat trips.. More expensive but less people. Glad I booked with them as we passed the crowded yellow boats. The blue boat found the dolphins quite quickly and circled them slowly. It felt like the dolphins were playing with us, going under our boat (prob the circular motion). Great videos and photos. Boats were perfect for amount of people.

    If you love a boat ride and being out at sea, then this is an amazing tour and you maybe lucky to see a few dolphins or more. Staff very friendly and always happy to answer the same question asked quite a few times from different tourist. Def recommend doing this trip. We have been lucky to seen tuna and flying fish. We enjoyed this trip alot so we do it most years We travel to Gibraltar.

    Yes you are almost guaranteed dolphin sightings and apparently at this time of year they’ve just had babies too so you are blessed with not only pods of them but mothers and babies breaking the waves at the same time 😍 Easy online booking system, lovely friendly staff, spacious boat and not overcrowded Highly recommended

    Really great trip. Saw the 🐬 within 15 mins of setting off. Lovey friendly and informative crew. Usually get sea sick but didn't feel a thing. A great chance to see the beautiful animals and take some great shots

    Simple little tour in the middle of sea to watch dolphins (1hr). There are dozens of them so you will definitely see them as they are always there. Staff is very nice and they do little bit of talking.

    Slightly more expensive than the competitor due to the fact they only take max 25 people / tour but they are friendly and knowledgeable and also it seems to be a guarantee to see dolphins Very worth the trip

  • 5/5 Harry and Isabelles D. 10 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    I brought my child as part of their birthday... It was an easy process... Boat was safe and not packed, which was important! Family run business, which didn't fail to impress... Bottle nose and common dolphins were seen in abundance... I managed selfies with dolphins photo bombing me... I loved that the team knew how to use the boat for the dolphins to enjoy... To see dolphins with their young teaching and playing around us was amazing! Excellent service given by a professional outfit... there were 10 passengers on our boat, when you have so few, it becomes a more perso al trip and not a fight to see the wildlife... Worth every penny and much more than I paid...

    Wow what a fantastic dolphin safari! Lovely boat, and not too big so it felt like a really personal experience, and they don't pack you in like other companies might do. We felt safe and in good hands. The crew are lovely and know their stuff. We saw striped dolphins and a lovely nursery pod of common dolphins....baby dolphins! If you want to see the dolphins in Gibraltar choose the blue boat. You won't regret it!

    During my dolphin safari, I was treated to a perfect mix of breathtaking sightseeing and the joy of encountering dolphins in their natural habitat.Along the way, we were fortunate enough to spot pods of dolphins gracefully swimming and leaping through the waves. It was a mesmerizing sight that left me in awe of their beauty and grace. The opportunity to witness these incredible creatures up close and observe their playful behaviors was a true privilege. The combination of stunning scenery and close encounters with dolphins made this safari a truly magical experience that will stay with me for a lifetime. Crew were very nice, friendly and welcoming making sure we had a great time. Thank you.

    A good trip out. We saw a huge pod of dolphins for ages. Staff were helpful but didn't give much information about the animals. It was great to see these animals in the wild and playing in the boat's wake.

    Had a wonderful trip today, the crew were lovely and friendly and the boat had the right amount of people - lots of room to move around and no one got in anyone's way. We saw so many dolphins they were around the boat in every direction! So there wasn't any need to move from your seat to see them. It was well worth the price!

    Unforgettable experience, well worth the money. We attended mid October and saw literally hundreds of dolphins in the bay. Some of them were babies which was amazing to see. They came very close to the boat and did not seem to mind us at all. Our trip was exactly 1h and there was plenty of time to relax on the boat & admire the dolphins. I was sceptical at first but I really enjoyed it & did not expect to see as many as we did!

    This was my first dolphin tour in Gibraltar. I was travelling alone. The boat staff were not overly friendly. Nobody paid me any attention as a solo traveller. The staff in the office were helpful enough when collecting my ticket advising me of savings in the restaurants at the marina. The tour seemed very rushed out to sea. Saw a few dolphins but the boat seemed to whizz around with little information from the crew. And then rush back to the marina. I loved seeing some dolphins. The boat was comfortable enough but I was slightly disappointed with the tour and boat crew

    Absolutely brilliant experience, saw loads of dolphins and the crew were very attentive. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 The King P. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Booked when there was no wind and sunny, day of trip was windy and overcast so they had their work cut out. Great trip, dolphins found and boat positioned to get as good a view as was possible given weather, very close to boat, swimming under the bow etc. Good price and they don't overcrowd the boat so everyone should have a good view. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed

    The trip was really professional. The safety briefing at the beginning made us feel safe and the crew know what they're doing. The skipper pretty quickly found a pod of dolphins, gave friendly commentary, identifying the species (we saw common dolphins), and keeping the boat close to them. The smaller boat is a real advantage - you're really that much closer to the dolphins. It's also not crowded, everyone got a chance to be at the side of the boat. Not to miss if you're in Gibraltar.

    I am dolphin mad, and this experience just topped it all for me. It was my first time seeing them in the wild where they belong, I had so many mixed emotions, I highly recommend this dolphin safari, the crew was awesome, don't forget you can take your own drinks, we took champagne 🍾 as this was a dream of mine that finally came true, thanks to my good friend and thanks to all that was there to make this moment even special ❤💙💯🇵🇹🥰😍🐬🐬🐬🐬🥂🥂🥂

    Amazing. One of the best experiences I have ever had seeing dolphins. September is best as all the baby dolphins had just been born.

  • 5/5 Done K. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here in the worst month (March) and weather (it was super windy) but still managed to see quite a lot of dolphins in close distance! The staff were super friendly and professional - our original booking was for a later slot but have been advised to do an earlier one on the day due to bad weather - and it just poured the minute when our booking is meant to happen! The boat itself is with padded seats and I would say that sitting in the front is a bit better but given our small group (about 10) it is pretty good everywhere! The trip ticket also offers a 10% off for most restaurants in the Ocean Village.

    This was the best thing I’ve experienced in Gibraltar. Never seen a real dolphin in my life until this. This is a family business and they are all so nice and friendly. Went on the boat to the middle of Bay of Gibraltar and saw a huge pod of dolphins that were not shy to swim closer. Absolutely amazing.

    Nice trip and really enjoy. The boat is fantastic! We can see dolphins near us

    Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Karen, our Dolphin Safari contact, she was the friendliest, most down to earth person we met after just landing in Gibraltar for our first time. She offered us a Dolphin tour which really didn’t disappoint- I’ve clipped a photo from a video as the crew on the boat (who were also awesome) took us right in to gently sail with and play with the Dolphins….it did not disappoint. I think our guide on the boat was Fiona? She was so knowledgeable about the creatures, the Geography of the bay and the strait and even after getting off the tour and fact checking, she was bang on with everything she said. Karen was excellent from start to finish, she kindly allowed us to stow our hand luggage with her and even walked us to our hotel and gave us so much useful information about the rock. - what a legend! Really look forward to returning, checking in with Karen, the boat, the tour, and the Dolphin pods we met too later this year - see if you can find the adopted bottlenose dolphin too!

    Myself my partner & 2 kids booked to go on the boat trip while visiting Gibraltar & can honestly say we will never forgot it. From start to finish the trip was amazing! Staff were really friendly & engaged with everyone on the boat. We seen a huge amount of dolphins and given lots of information about them during the trip. If your ever in Gibraltar I would 100% recommend booking this trip.

👍👍 Our private guide on Gibraltar has advised us this boat. Soon after leaving the port we could spot dolphins and the captain took all the time for it so everyone on board could see the dolphins multiple times. Very nice experience.
