About this tour
Travel from Seville to the Strait of Gibraltar for a two-hour boat excursion tracking seven dolphin species in waters where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. This UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve sits at the crossroads of two continents, hosting one of the world's busiest shipping channels.

What to expect
You'll depart Seville early morning in a climate-controlled vehicle for the drive to Gibraltar's harbour. Once aboard, expect two hours on the water with your guide pointing out dolphin pods as they surface. The Strait's currents and busy shipping traffic create ideal feeding conditions, so sightings are likely but not guaranteed. You'll cruise respectfully at safe distances, observing their behaviour without disturbance. After returning to port, you'll have several hours free to walk Gibraltar's compact town, grab lunch (not included), or visit local sites before heading back to Seville.
Good to know
Bring your valid passport—it's mandatory for crossing between Spain and Gibraltar. Seasickness tablets may help; the Strait can be choppy. Breakfast and lunch aren't provided, so eat before boarding or budget for Gibraltar's restaurants. Infant car seats are available. Wear layers and sunscreen for time on deck.
