Dolphin and Whale Tours in Gibraltar
A watery gate that bears the connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea, the Strait of Gibraltar is in fact one of the most busy routes for shipping the world over. Each year, more than fifty thousand ships pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, making it a marvel in and of itself that this is among the most prolific routes for whales and the best place to see whales and dolphins in all of Europe.
 There are multiple operators of dolphin and whale watching tour boats which make trips out into the strait of Gibraltar, and keep tabs on where the whales and dolphins are going to appear on any given day, offering you the chance to interact with these amazing sea creatures.
The cost for the tours is generally not at all exorbitant, costing about 20 to 35 Euros for a two hour tour. Quite often if you see no whales or dolphins during your trip the whale watching tours of Gibraltar will refund your money for the trip, meaning that they are quite good at making sure that you see what you came to see. While you're visiting Gibraltar or southern Spain, make it a point to go out on a whale watching or dolphin watching excursion in Gibraltar. The chance to view these fantastic creatures of the deep is one that should not be missed!

The Original Dolphin Safari was established in 1969. Since then we have been the main,
and often the only dolphin watching boat, operating tours every year from Gibraltar. This allows us to
sell our much loved and very exclusive dolphin tours with more experience and much more quality than anybody else, w
hich puts us ahead in finding and watching dolphins. In the extremely unlikely event that we should not find dolphins,
we do offer complimentary tickets to go again until you see them, which if we're honest normally only takes 1 boat ride,
with us offering a 98% dolphin guarantee.

Dolphin World offers a captivating
dolphin-watching cruise while exploring the visually spectacular and
historical Bay of Gibraltar.
The excursion enjoys a reputation for having the highest
success rate in finding dolphins in Europe. The Bay and Strait of Gibraltar
are a natural breeding area for several types of dolphins and it is not
uncommon to encounter mothers with their calves in pods ranging from 20 to
30, up to many hundreds – an incredible sight!
Our Bay cruiser, the charismatic and charming “Brixham Belle” offers
comfortable seating in sun or shade together with a bar and restroom
facilities. Passengers will also be able to purchase souvenirs of their
unforgettable ‘Dolphin Experience’ on board and in the Dolphin World.
