A fun small group excursion. Really fun to see the pods, some of them put on quite a show leaping out of the water! They are so friendly towards people! I absolutely loved this experience! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We were so happy that we chose this activity with this cheerful establishment. It was a fun experience which I will never forget!

Really enjoyed seeing so many dolphins swimming in their habitat. Dolphin Adventure staff very careful at keeping space and letting dolphins dictate.
Great experience. The dolphins were swimming next to the boat. Little boy absolutely loved it. Will be going again when we come back to Gib
This was an amazing tour! The staff were incredibly friendly, our guide was very knowledgeable about dolphins and extremely funny and we saw SO many pods of dolphins! The dolphins were super social and curious and swam right alongside the boat. I would highly recommend this tour. My 10 year old daughter and I plan to do this one again.
Ran to time and the tour leader was informative and amusing. Safety was covered well and in timely manner, before the trip got underway, and we saw all there was to see.
The seat pitch in the speedboat is quite narrow and a few people who had trouble bending knees or were larger in size than average had some issue with fitting into available space.
This is a great trip we saw several pods of dolphins really close to the boat. The boat wasn't over crowded so lots of space to move around to get a great view. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip.
This was just a lot of fun, even though we were in a bit of a time crunch. (For other cruise passengers, make sure you budget time to get to and from the marina where this boat is.) The crew were friendly and efficient, and found a good sized pod of dolphins for us to watch. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

A great experience with a helpful crew, good weather and lots of dolphins. Also relatively few passengers (unlike the previous departure which looked very full on return).

We had a good experience on this dolphin-watching tour. We were lucky enough to see dolphins swimming around the boat, which was really enjoyable to watch and definitely the highlight of the trip.
The tour was well organised and it was a nice way to spend some time out on the water in Gibraltar. Of course, wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but we had a positive experience and were happy that we got to see the dolphins quite close to the boat.

The trip was easy to book on to, the meeting point was easy to find. There was a thorough safety briefing with clear identification of lifejackets and rafts. Coming onto the trip itself: the dolphins were spectacular to watch, we got to observe them in their natural habitat for close to an hour. The boat always maintained a safe distance and did not chase the dolphins, which I appreciated. The facts we were provided with were interesting!
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Great looking boat looked brand new. Friendly staff. We saw loads of dolphins which was great. Only pointer that marked it down was the sound system. You couldn't hear anything over the noise of the boat. It didn't spoil our trip though. Would recommend

This dolphin tour was a great experience. The boat was very nice and modern, newer than shown in pictures. Saw many dolphins during the trip and also enjoyed great views of the bay and the Rock from the water.

Excellent tour. I've been on other dolphin/whale viewing tours but this one had the most frequent and longest sightings of dolphins. Good value for money. The boat wasn't overcrowded either.

This was an amazing experience. I'd booked it as part of her 50th birthday celebrations and she described it as one of the best things she'd ever done.
We saw so many dolphins and they were really close to the boat, so it was much better than I'd expected.

It's good to know everything went seamlessly and you had a positive experience.

Dolphin Adventure has a new "double decker" catarmaran, with lots of great viewing opprtunities to see the Dolphins in the Harbour area. The knowledgeable crew went to great lengths to ensure that we saw dolphins on the trip, I highly recommend this Company
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you very much for this review and your recommendation to your fellow travellers.
We took delivery of our third and largest vessel in June and it has been very popular with its double deck.
We are happy to know you had a good time.
The crew appreciate your comments and we hope to see you again one day.
Meeting point was easy to find and all the staff were very helpful and informative. Your boarding card gives you a 10% discount in the local restaurants. We came across a pod of about 30 dolphins which was incredible to watch.
