About Dolphin Watching
Gibraltar's strategic position at the meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean makes the Bay of Gibraltar one of Europe's best spots for dolphin watching. Multiple operators run 75-minute catamaran cruises departing from Ocean Village Marina, where marine biologists provide live commentary. Three species are commonly sighted - common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and striped dolphins - often in pods of 40 to 500 individuals. Sighting success rates exceed 95% between April and October.
Visitor Tips

Bring sunscreen and a windproof layer for the boat ride.
Peak season (April-October) offers the highest sighting rates.
