Mallorca · DOLPHIN WATCHING CRUISES
Dolphins are seen most reliably at first light off the north coast, which is why the good trips leave uncomfortably early. These 14 cover sunrise sailings from Alcúdia and Can Picafort and the afternoon combinations, with honest notes on what is and is not guaranteed.

3-hour dolphin watching cruise from Santa Ponsa or Paguera on a glass-bottom catamaran, with a swim stop and snorkel gear.
“Excellent trip, we were one of the first groups on the boat so managed to sit outside at the back to the side of the boat. Had a great view. Saw a lot of dolphins and the short snorkel stop was enjoyable, too. We missed a trick in that the boat is glass bottomed so should have gone down there after seeing the dolphins as someone else told us after the trip that they saw the dolphins swim alongside the boat under the water from there - putting this in as a possible tip for anyone else! Would definitely recommend, we were impressed by the number of dolphins we saw.Read…”
Small-group speedboat from Can Picafort for dolphin sightings, sea caves, and a swim at Es Coll Baix cove on Mallorca’s north coast.

Sunrise dolphin watching from Alcúdia with hotel transfers, a guided boat ride, and close dolphin sightings. 2 hours.
“The activity was great, we went out in slightly choppy sea but the team were really accommodating in making us feel comfortable, experts in finding the dolphins and we had a fantastic experience. Special shout out to Titsiano, he was a great guide and lovely to chat to, and accommodated us well. The captain was great, and they were very respectful to the animals and kept safe distance while giving us a great view. All in all would recommend 100%”

3-hour dolphin watching from Palma on the Carpe Diem boat, with a swim stop and snorkel gear. Drinks on board, transfers available.
“Very nice boat tour, we stopped in a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel for about 15 min, then we moved to catch the dolphins (we saw a bunch of them for about 20 min). On the boat are sold cold drinks and there’s a little toilet. A very good activity overall, the only thing to say is there was no guide at all (but not strictly necessary for the activity in my opinion)”
Afternoon speedboat from Palma to open sea for dolphin-spotting, plus a swim stop in a secluded cove, with bar onboard and transfers.
“This is a great trip while on holiday. We loved it. The boat in the description originally stated catamaran, which is what we were expecting but not what arrived. The boat we got was great though, fast, clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff on the boat were lovely and we had a great day, seeing dolphins and jumping into the sea. It really was a brilliant family day out. We were picked up at 12pm for a 3 hour excursion starting in Palma 25mins away, we were driven round in circles then arrived in Palma at 1pm where we were given an hour to explore Palma which was unexpected but…”
