Dolphin Sightseeing Boat Tour from Benalmadena

About this activity

Take in the stunning views of the Alboran Sea and Costa del Sol. Don’t miss the chance to witness dolphins in their natural habitat and immerse yourself in nature! By choosing a catamaran with the Blue Flag, you’re supporting sustainable tourism that helps protect the marine environment. These boats also promote environmental education for our guests and ensure our activities have minimal impact on the ocean.

Our catamaran tour lasts around 2 hours, but the exact time may vary depending on where the dolphins are located. We may return to the port 10-15 minutes earlier or later based on the situation.

While we make every effort to spot dolphins on each trip, sightings cannot be guaranteed, as weather and sea conditions may affect their visibility. If we are unable to locate dolphins during your tour, we will offer you the option to reschedule at a 50% discount.

Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    Passing by

    Disfrutarán de una navegación en catamarán por el Mar de Alborán, a lo largo de la Costa del Sol, en una experiencia pensada para observar delfines en libertad y conocer el entorno marino desde el mar.

    Durante el recorrido, el barco puede tomar distintas direcciones —hacia Fuengirola, mar abierto o Málaga— en función de las condiciones del mar y de la localización de los cetáceos. Este factor hace que cada salida sea diferente, permitiendo descubrir distintos paisajes costeros y puntos de interés desde una perspectiva única.

    A bordo, la tripulación ofrece información básica sobre la fauna marina y el entorno natural, promoviendo una navegación respetuosa y de bajo impacto ambiental. La experiencia se realiza en una embarcación certificada con Bandera Azul, comprometida con la educación ambiental y la sostenibilidad.

    La duración habitual del paseo es de aproximadamente 100 minutos, aunque puede variar ligeramente según la localización de los delfines y las condiciones de navegación.
