About this tour
Spot whales and dolphins off the Spanish coast whilst a marine biologist explains their behaviour, ecology and conservation challenges. This two-and-a-half-hour voyage moves beyond typical sightseeing—you'll learn why these animals migrate, how they communicate, and what threatens their survival. It's the closest thing to directing your own nature documentary, guided by someone who actually studies these creatures rather than just points them out.
Highlights
- Marine biologist narrates whale and dolphin behaviour in real time
- Understand migration patterns and social structures
- Learn current conservation efforts in Spanish waters
- English and Spanish guides; French, German, Italian available
- Bottled water included throughout the journey
- Suitable for mixed fitness levels and ages
What to expect
You'll board a vessel and head out to established feeding and migration routes where sightings are most likely. The biologist doesn't just identify species—they explain what you're watching: why dolphins hunt in pods, how whales navigate thousands of kilometres, what their calls mean. Expect a mix of quiet observation and active explanation. Weather and animal behaviour mean sightings aren't guaranteed, but the science doesn't stop if cetaceans are elusive that day. Bring layers; sea conditions and wind exposure are real even in calm weather.
