About
The only dolphin company in Gibraltar to be awarded the Certificate of Excellence 6 years running, with the full 5 star bubble rating which puts us in the 10% of businesses listed with Trip Advisor WORLDWIDE. As seen on Channel 5's GIBRALTAR BRITAIN IN THE SUN! Several trips daily into the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar to see dolphins wild and free. There are hundreds of dolphins in the area that naturally come close to the boat playing in the waves, often leaping clear of the water in breath taking acrobatic displays. Dolphins are naturally curious and playful, it is often difficult to tell who is watching who! A totally amazing dolphin experience for the whole family that you will remember for ever... Don't miss it! Our aim is give you the best possible views whilst maintaining a neutral level of intrusion to these beautiful creatures. Responsible dolphin watching at its best!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Excellent experience in the bay of Gibraltar surrounded by dolphins. Crew were friendly and knowledgeable….and even made the safety briefing interesting and amusing.
Spent slightly more than the advertised time out on the water watching dozens of dolphins all round the boat.
When we went to book the office was closed but a colleague from the diving business phoned and a member of staff interrupted their lunch to help us. Great service.
Nature can be unpredictable and we were lucky with weather, sea conditions and of course the dolphins.

Fantastic trip out, saw loads of short beaked common dolphins, they were bow running the boat and breaching not far away. Staff were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Loved every minute, would throughly recommend.

Was a good trip saw lots of dolphins but was not 3.30 the boat trip was 1.15. Even if you include the cable car which once you arrive it takes 7 mins to the top there is not much to do once get to the top an hour at the most unless you have food there. Time wise mis leading

Great trip and saw so many dolphins. We travelled out into the bay and quickly came across a big group of dolphins which we stayed with for quite some time. We were surprised by how many we saw and how close they swam to the boat. The guide also gave lots of information about the types of dolphins we saw. Better experience than we hoped and great value for money.

The tour boat took us into the bay of Gibraltar. We saw many dolphins close to the boat, jumping in the waves - it was really very good. I was surprised that the dolphins are in an area with so much industrialization around, including massive ships and cargo ships. Apparently it is a rich feeding ground for them. Thoroughly recommend the tour. Book online and save £3 per ticket.

with the combined ticket is it a return on the cable car? can i do cable car after dolphin trip or is that up to me? just choose dolphin trip time ? sorry it doesn't seem clear on website through trip advisor

Two separate tickets! You book the time for your dolphin trip. And you can use the cable car ticket whenever you want on that day (and yes it is a return ticket up and down)!

Hello. Theare are any parking near a Dolphin Adventure office?
In case we book tickets to the boat and a cable car, it is possible to leave a car near the office after the boat trip, and then go to the cable car. How far it is?

Hi. Parking is available 50m from us in The World Trade Centre or Ocean Village. If you are only coming to do these tours it may be better to park in Spain then walk 10 minutes to us then 20 minutes through the town to the cable car. This avoids possible queues at the frontier.

Il y a t'il un horaire particulier pour voir les dauphins ?
Angelina L

Normal times are 12:30, 14:00 and 15:30
Dolphins appear to be more prevalent in flatter seas. Would it be better therefore to boom an earlier time as the wind appears to pick up during the day? Colin

We visited around midday. It was a bit windy at the beginning of April but the sun was out and we had light blue skies and had no problem seeing the dolphins.

Hi, there are 4 steps down on to the boat which we can help with. The cable car has quite a few steps though, maybe 20 or 30 each end.

Hi, we are in Marina Bay, the yellow boat next to the Sunborn hotel. Chances of seeing dolphins in June is normally 85% with a complimentary ticket offered if you do not see any.
