Join us for World Dolphin Day on the 23rd of July to celebrate the 1982 global stand against commercial whaling. This guided tour is all about discovering more about dolphins and celebrating their intelligence and playfulness.

Your day kicks off with a walking tour through the picture-perfect old town of Tarifa, full of coastal history and character. Next, you'll attend a talk by a marine biologist, where you'll learn about the different dolphins and whales you might spot out in the ocean. Then, it's time to hop aboard for a dolphin-watching cruise in the Strait of Gibraltar. Along the way, you'll hear fascinating info about dolphin behaviour and what makes them unique.

Once back on land, you'll have some time to explore the lively harbour, known for its sweeping views that stretch all the way to Morocco. This is more than just a tour, it's a celebration of World Dolphin Day and a chance to see wild dolphins in their natural habitat.

Der Vortrag der sehr leise sprechenden „Meeresbiologin“ war kaum zu verstehen, im Freien neben der Straße mit einer großen Gruppe.

Fahrzeit wurde angegeben mit 1 Stunden. Dies war für uns das Kriterium diesen Ausflug tatsächlich zu buchen, da wir ein drei jähriges Kind dabei haben. Die tatsächliche Fahrzeit betrug dann jeweils 2 Stunden, da wir weitere Gäste aus anderen Hotels abgeholt haben. Die Zeit für Freizeit war dann vor der Bootstour und danach unter 1 Stunde, so dass wir kaum Freizeit hatten. Einziges Highlight tatsächlich die Bootstour mit den Grindwalen, top. Ausflug mit kleinem Kind nicht zu empfehlen!
