We had a lovely time at the beautiful sailing boat. The captain was really friendly and we had a great time interacting with him. We ended up seeing Dolphins too which will be a memorable experience from our trip to Spain with our three year old !

Such a lovely trip, we saw lots of dolphins but even without that we would have enjoyed the time spent on the boat. As it’s a small group trip there is lots of space onboard to chill out and relax in the sun with lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend.

It was great just to get out on the water and see the coastline! But lots of dolphins as well including some mamas and babies

This was a great trip. We were made to feel welcome and enjoyed the inclusive drinks. Initially thought the dolphins had alluded us but we were lucky to see some very close to the boat as we returned to port.

Very enjoyable day. The captain and his partner were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins, which was a real highlight.
It was a very relaxing trip with expert sailors on a beautiful boat. We'd definitely recommend it and would happily go again.
Thank you for a wonderful day.

Beautiful experience. We all really enjoyed our time sailing along the bay. Although the dolphins didn’t come to say hello, it was just brilliant.

Very nice boat and couple. No dolphins but still worth it. Lovely day at sea with friends and family.

It was absolutely amazing, we were barely out of the harbour and the dolphins were swimming around. As we went further out there were so many dolphins. We also got to see them jumping high out of the water. The captain also offered the chance to swim, obviously not with the dolphins.

The ship was lovely and so comfortable and the captain and his partner made sure that we had an enjoyable trip. We got to see the dolphins and the captain made sure we stayed for long enough to spot the dolphins, and take plenty of photos and videos.

Nice couple running a lovely sailing boat.
Really enjoyed and relaxing and we saw dolphins !!
Drinks supplied and nice seats to chill on.

Friends group of 12 went on the Dolphin watch and were not disappointed. Our hosts and crew knew where to go which enabled us to experience a long session alongside a Pod.
Just an awesome experience. Added bonus of drinks on board and free flow for the entire trip.
A top recommendation if you’re in Estepona.

Fabulous day on board and saw a beautiful pod of dolphins having fun in the waves whilst drinking sangria in the sunshine… perfect morning!
Janet_R, Jul 2025
What a lovely couple of hours. Beautiful boat. Drinks were included . Saw a pod of dolphins playing around the boat. Well worth the money. Would do it again in a heartbeat

This was an absolutely brilliant trip. Miguel was fantastic. Boat was lovely and although we didn't see dolphins we had the most relaxing 2 hours chilling with cold wine and stunning views. Would definitely recommend
Dominic_B, Jun 2025
Lovely relaxed trip
Really enjoyable
The crew were very friendly and helpful
Would 100% recommend booking this for a chilled 2 hours
Katie_M, Apr 2025
Fine, if you don't see dolphins or the weather is a bit rubbish it's pretty rubbish (of course out of their control). Drinks means drink singular
Nothing exciting from the crew in terms of information or chat
Music low and couldn't really hear it.
Expensive for 1 (lidl) beer
Hopefully better tour guides out there.

It was just awesome. Spotted many dolphins. Thanks for your warm welcome and overall experience. Nicely organized. Simply accessible.
Pavel_S, Sep 2024
The boat is nice, service was great but we havent seen any dolphins. We were said at the boat that we may not see them.This was a surprise (the main reason for buying tickets were dolphins) because there is not such warning prior the purchase of the ticket.The title "dolphin wathing..." is too much promising.Our kids were sad.
Our trip was postponed due to maintenance-if we go previous day,we would may see them...
Jansen_U, Aug 2024
Although the dolphins didn't show themselves, we really enjoyed the tour.
We did spot a sunfish!
Even my granddaughter of 2 years old, started to sing on the rythm of the swell.
We felt very at ease, welcome and comfortable, thanks tot the hosts!
We certainly try to join in again!

Very nice crew! Did not hunt the dolphins like the other boats in the area. Nice and smooth sailing trip with plenty of playful dolphins
Suki_S, Jul 2024
Very nice people who organised the trip and skippered the boat and an added bonus of the best behaved little dog ever whose job was to look out for the dolphins. We saw one solitary dolphin but it stayed by the boat for ages and it was so peaceful to watch it swim. We were blessed with a beautiful calm sea which was a delight to swim in. The boat was spacious and the other guests who were on the journey with us were delightful. A great way to spend two hours in Estepona.

We saw many dolphins. The experience was just beautiful. Great crew and attention to details. My nephews loved it :)
Saed_A, Jun 2024
Seeing a lot of dolphins and taking a quick dip in the very cold water. Captain and crew were very friendly
Kim_S, Jun 2024
Very friendly and they will keep an eye out if there is any Dolphins, it isn't 100% guaranteed that you will see them. They will return back if they have seen some or been informed that they have spotted some.
Jean_W, Jun 2024
Great couple of hours didn’t see any dolphins but on the way back to shore captain appeared to receive a message so he turned the boat around and sped of to the dolphins didn’t need to as we would never have known captain and his mate were great would recommend
Nadine_G, Jun 2024
Why is this called “dolphin viewing“ if it’s guaranteed you see no dolphins? Just cruising around for two hours, in the called and with a coke, no music or entertainment, is definitely not worth this price!
Prue_M, May 2024
A wonderful trip with Manolo! We were so lucky to see hundreds of dolphins and our captain was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour!
Paula_A, May 2024
Lovely day on a calm see
The captain was a great host
Did not get to see dolphins but had a whale of a time 😊👌
Cindy_M, May 2024
We had a good group of people. Didn't see dolphins but the view was great. The wine was good as well.
Kirsten_M, May 2024
Had an amazing 2hr trip! Gorgeous weather, comfortable seating. Onboard toilet. Free drink (just the one) but that was fine for what you pay! Unfortunately no dolphins spotted but we did see some other fish. Only downside was we couldn’t go in the sea for a swim like it stated. That’s the only reason i have given 4*s and not 5. But overall, excellent!
