Boat trip to see dolphins with pick up from Can Picafort

What do we do on this dolphin boat trip?

This dolphin watching excursion starts early in the morning with pick-up from Can Picafort and transfer to the Port of Alcudia, where you will board a modern speedboat designed for small groups. There are usually two departure times, around 06:30 and 08:30, chosen to maximise the chances of spotting dolphins in their natural habitat, when the sea is calmer and marine life is more active.

The boat is led by Captain Salvador, a highly experienced local skipper who knows the Bay of Alcudia better than anyone. As we head out to sea, you will enjoy spectacular coastal views, passing iconic spots such as Coll Baix, Cap Menorca and the impressive cliffs of Cap Formentor. These early-morning moments, with soft light and calm waters, already make the journey special.

Once dolphins are located, the engines are switched off so you can observe them respectfully and without disturbance. You will have time to watch how they swim close to the boat and, on many occasions, leap out of the water. It’s a truly emotional experience, so make sure your camera is ready to capture unforgettable photos and videos.

Important: for safety reasons, children under 5 years old are not allowed on this excursion.
