Set off on a peaceful morning adventure at sea with this 2-hour dolphin spotting tour off the coast of Djerba. The experience begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation around 7:50 AM, ensuring a smooth and easy start to your day.

Departing from a nautical base, you'll board a small boat operated by a local and experienced driver. As you cruise through the calm Mediterranean waters, keep watch for dolphins in their natural environment. These playful marine creatures are often seen near the boat, but since they live freely in the wild, sightings, while frequent, cannot be guaranteed.

There is no commentary or formal guide—just pure, authentic discovery. The early morning hours offer the best chance to observe dolphins, as the sea is generally calm and peaceful.

If sea conditions allow, the captain may stop briefly so you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the open sea. Group sizes are small, ensuring a relaxed and personal experience for everyone on board.

This tour is one of the most loved experiences in Djerba, especially among families and nature lovers. Simple, genuine, and full of emotion—it’s a beautiful way to begin your day on the island.

A very short hop from our hotel to meet the boat all of a 2 min drive. If we had known the we would have walked via the beach. Kitted out in our life jackets we waded to the boat and off we went in search for Dolphins. We eventually arrived at Flamingo island for 20mins down time and a swimstop before heading back to Djerba .. just as we all were thinking today was not going to be successful 5 dolphins were sighted to everyones delight the boat was stopped for photos and videos. Good trip.

Schlecht ist, daß man vorab keine Infos hat, dass man noch 1 Stunde Anfahrt und 1 Stunde Rückfahrt hat. Diese Info wäre sinnvoll

Unsere Guides waren sehr aufmerksam, dabei aber unaufdringlich, und so konnten wir tatsächlich eine ganze Delfinschule inkl. Baby beobachten. Unsere Tochter durfte das Boot eine Weile steuern, das war ebenfalls ein Highlight. Nicht so prickelnd fanden wir den Weg zu Fuß am Müll des Aldiana vorbei, um vom Transferfahrzeug an den Strand zu den Booten zu gelangen.

Nous n avons pas vu les dauphins L excursion avait déjà été reportée à cause du vent le jour qu on l a fait (dimanche) la météo n était pas encore au top mer agitée. Pourquoi ne pas l avoir posposee encore d un jour ?

Wir wurden pünklich abgeholt und an den Startpunkt gebracht der etwas Deutsch sprechende Beifahrer hätte uns etwas bei der durchführenden Firma einweisen können Wir waren 2 Boote, die Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und nett und versuchten uns an verschiedenen Stellen Delphine zu zeigen was auch zu ihrer Enttäuschung nicht geglückt ist. Der Transfer war kurz, ein anderes Paar war 2 Hotels weg, und sollte bei derBuchung bei TUI berücksichtigt werden.
