Highlights
-
Calle Alcalde Juan Núñez - The fascinating experience of sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar, an area declared an International Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2006, gains an extra thrill when the friendly inhabitants of its waters, whales and dolphins, approach boats to exhibit themselves and satisfy the curiosity of tourists.
In this privileged marine area, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, seven different species of cetaceans coexist that, depending on their migration routes, amount of food and periods of reproduction. The probability of success in the sighting is practically 100% in all the exits, with the guarantee of a second chance, in the remote case of not meeting the objective on the first attempt.
Feeding animals, throwing anything into the sea, screaming or running on the ship are prohibited. We will approach the animals with caution avoiding disturbing them, using the distances, direction and speed recommended by the Spanish Legislation and the ACCOBAMS Regulations. Any sign of disturbance in the behavior of the animals will be enough to move us away from the area. It is recommended to bring sunscreen, a cap, a coat and comfortable shoes

Unbelievable whale watching - My a wife and me had the most wonderful whale watching trip. The bottle nose dolphins, pilot whales came very close to the boat close enough to hear them breathe just to clarify they came to the boat the boat did not move close to them. We also were lucky enough to see two sperm whales and to watch them lift their tails to dive is something we will never forget. The crew and guide were great with the details of what we were seeing being passed in English thank you for that. I would recommend the trip to anyone, of course it is nature and it cannot be guaranteed, we got lucky. Thanks for a great experience.

Amazing trip with dolphins and whales - We were able to see some of the whales and dolphins, so we were happy!
We would like to recommend that the company name is mentioned on TripAdvisor site and also clear address. It was very difficult for us to find it, we were asking people around (without clear company name was not easy) and we needed to call back and forth the call center to get the address.
