Dolphin Boat Trip in Mallorca

What do we do on this dolphin boat trip in Mallorca?

This dolphin boat trip in Mallorca departs from the Bay of Alcudia, one of the best areas on the island to spot dolphins in the wild. Led by an experienced skipper who knows these waters in depth, the fast boat heads directly to offshore dolphin hotspots, allowing you to spend maximum time observing dolphins in their natural environment.

Departure times may vary throughout the season, as the schedule is planned to offer the best possible experience rather than fixed times. During the low season, departures usually take place around 06:30 and 08:30, while in July and August an additional 13:30 every Friday departure is added due to higher demand. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and is organised around sunrise conditions, making it an ideal excursion to start the day watching dolphins at dawn.

One of the key highlights of this experience is the 35 to 40 minutes spent in the dolphin observation area, a longer time than many other dolphin tours in Mallorca. This extended observation window greatly increases the quality of the experience and allows you to enjoy watching dolphins swimming, jumping and approaching the boat naturally, creating truly unforgettable moments.

The tour is carried out on a small boat with a maximum of 36 passengers, offering a much more intimate and comfortable experience, perfect for taking photos and videos without crowds. On the first departure of the day, you will also enjoy a spectacular sunrise, with the sun rising over the northern horizon and reflecting on the sea — a unique scene that adds even more magic to this dolphin boat trip in Mallorca.

Throughout the season, we keep all our guests informed of any schedule updates, ensuring you can plan your day with confidence and not miss this unique dolphin watching experience in Alcudia, a place where dolphins can be seen regularly but only through carefully organised and respectful excursions.

Is dolphin sighting guaranteed?

Dolphins are wild animals, so sightings can never be guaranteed 100%. However, this dolphin boat trip has been operating since 2017, and dolphins have been seen on every single excursion so far.

In the very unlikely event that dolphins are not spotted during your tour, you will be invited to return on another dolphin boat trip at no extra cost.
