We set sail from Palma, adjusting our route daily to maximize the chances of spotting dolphins in their natural habitat—always ensuring respectful observation and attentive service on board.

When sea conditions permit, the experience also includes underwater viewing, offering an even more unique perspective of the marine environment.

An unforgettable experience for families, couples, and groups wishing to discover the magic of the Mediterranean in an authentic way.

A quick note: habitat and species

In this area, you can observe species such as the bottlenose dolphin, the striped dolphin, and, occasionally, the common dolphin. They move around in search of food and favourable conditions, which is why the route is adapted each morning.

What our customers think

★★★★★

It was wonderful. We saw dolphins. The boat was modern and the organization was excellent. We were picked up at our meeting point in a modern bus. We took a swimming break and briefly visited a grotto. All in all, we spent a long time on the boat, which was fantastic given the temperatures. We would gladly do it again. Highly recommended.

It was truly a fantastic day; the crew was incredibly friendly and really went the extra mile. I especially appreciated how calmly everything was handled around the dolphin sighting. The other guests also kept making room and letting the children get a good view, so we could enjoy watching the dolphins in a relaxed atmosphere with a perfect vantage point. Huge praise once again to the entire crew and the organizers—you did a wonderful job.
