Detailed itinerary
1
Step aboard our comfortable Rodman 1100, a spacious boat that’s been thoughtfully converted into a hybrid vessel powered by two electric engines. This quiet, low-impact technology allows for a peaceful and eco-friendly experience at sea—ideal for observing marine life in a respectful way. The minimal noise often encourages dolphins to approach the boat naturally, creating authentic and stress-free encounters.
Throughout the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to spot several fascinating species in their natural habitat, including bottlenose dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins, common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, striped dolphins, and short-finned pilot whales. Our experienced team—skipper Víctor and marine biologist Paula—will guide you through the journey, sharing valuable insights about the behaviour, biology, and conservation of the animals we encounter. With live interpretation from a marine biologist, the tour becomes more than just sightseeing—it’s a learning experience.
