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!

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.

Good weather and many a dolphin to see 😁 friendly staff and very welcoming to everyone. Explained everything really well

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

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.

Absolutely amazing trip. The boat driver knows where to go for guaranteed sightings of local pods of dolphins. Very careful driving, allowing the dolphins to come up to the boat. We saw so many in all directions, simply brilliant. Great commentary too.

Tour gives your enough time to see multiple dolphins. Boat gets you quite far from the shoreline which is perfect. After waiting a while we got to see a big flock of dolphins.
Susan_C, Nov 2025
We saw tons of dolphin, and the crew was professional and friendly. The boat was clean and well-maintained. Very reasonable price.
James_H, Oct 2025
Wow… this is a fabulous way to see Gibraltar without the crowds or rush! The staff were phenomenal, the vessels tip-top condition and clean; and most importantly, we must have seen 100+ dolphins!
Thank you! Great tour!
Nicholette, Oct 2025
The boat ride was nice, did not see any dolphins. Also, it left 15 mins late and therefore we arrived back 45 mins later than planned. We had to run from there to our cruise ship so we’d be back on board in time.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you very much for this review.
It is rare that our excursions are delayed and the reasons are typically beyond our control. Though they are wild animals it is very unusual that we are unable to locate dolphins, however, its good to know you enjoyed the time on the boat.
Thank you again.
It is very rare that we fail to locate the dolphins

We try our very best to make sure all our passengers experience the best excursions possible and the dolphins are a great help.
Thank you once again.

We saw lots of dolphins and had beautiful weather. Most passengers went to the upper deck. So lots of room on the main deck
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Our newest vessel does indeed have an upper deck which is popular among sun worshippers, the lower deck has plenty of shade.
September and the autumn months are when we encounter super pods of dolphins, large numbers all around the boats.
Good to know you had a great time.
Thank you again.
David_L, Sep 2025
easy access on and off a new boat. crew was friendly and helpful, discussion of dolphins was intelligent.

Great review of Dolphin Adventure.
As you may have noticed these wild dolphins are very difficult to photograph but the memory lingers.
Thank you once again.
MaryAnn_C, Sep 2025
Staff went out of their way so we would see the dolphins. They kept us informed as to location in relation to the boat where we could see them.

Fun experience! Crew/staff had us on board and on our way 25 minutes before scheduled start time (and same 25 early on cruise end). We saw plenty of dolphins, one species that has a population constantly living in the bay.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Its is important for us and our passengers that we are prompt, it indicates care and attention.

Bobbi the bottlenose came to say hello.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were unable to see the dolphins the first time, but we're lucky to catch them the next day! We saw many dolphins and it was a beautiful experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your comments on Dolphin Adventure.
Our success rate in locating dolphins is so high that we offer a free ticket should we fail, its that simple.
Thank you once again.
Ada_G, Jul 2025
well organized, friendly knowledgeable crew, lovely marine life. First "see the dolphins trip" that actually shows you the dolphins close by.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the vey positive review.
You have discovered that Gibraltar is arguably the best site in Europe for locating and observing the dolphins close up. Our success rate is extremely high and our crews are dedicated to finding the dolphins for our passengers.
Perhaps we will see you again one day .
Thank you again.

Even though you are sent tickets on your phone, there in no mention that you have to go to the Dolphine office to check in, they don't use the bar code. We did not know this during our queuing. We had to come out on the que and go to the office.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your review of Dolphin Adventure.
We hope that your experience was not spoilt and you enjoyed the dolphins.
Teodora_A, Jun 2025
Was an amazing experience. The guides are very well prepared and gave useful info. Would reccomend it 100%.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Great review of Dolphin Adventure the yellow boat.
Our crews are always keen to share their Knowledge and anecdotes with passengers and offer an educational aspect to the excursion.
We hope to see you again one day for a repeat performance.
Many thanks.
Tina_R, May 2025
Great trip and not choppy if you’re not keen on boats. You only go into the Bay Area and it’s very safe. Saw absolutely loads of dolphins and lots of great information from the crew.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Your review of Dolphin Adventure is very much appreciated and we hope to see you again one day.
Many thanks
Frietzie_A, May 2025
There are a lot of people on the boat, and it's a bit tough to move about and watch the dolphin. For me, it's not worth the trip. And supposedly it will depart at 12.30. Some people don't respect other people's time thus, we had to wait for more others and left at 1 p.m.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you very much for taking the time to Review your experience with Dolphin Adventure.
The 12:30 sailing slot is invariably the most popular of the day and we were disappointed that you were unhappy. The upside is that we located the dolphins and observed them for a good amount of time, though this is not mentioned in your comments.
Thank again.
Janet_H, Apr 2025
We loved every moment. Saw more dolphins than we expected. Crew were very friendly and informative. Our only critique would be how quickly the time went. The trip went far too quickly and 75 minutes is not long enough.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on your experience with Dolphin Adventure the yellow boat.
On occasions when dolphins are not so easy to locate we will extend sailings so that customers are not disappointed.
Thank you again for the review.
Andrew_W, Feb 2025
Wonderful day! The sun was shining and the dolphins came out to play. Got given lots of info during our trip.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
