Dolphin Watching in the Bay of Palma
About this experience
Calm seas, the crisp Mediterranean light, and the opportunity to share the waters with dolphins in the wild. Our excursion is designed as a mindful experience: comfortable sailing, attentive service on board, and respectful observation—unhurried and without interfering with the cetaceans' natural behavior.
We set sail from Palma and head into the open sea, adjusting our course based on the day's conditions to maximize the chances of a sighting. Sometimes they approach us and swim alongside the boat; other times, the encounter is more discreet. That is the essence of it: real nature, in its own habitat. Thanks to our years of experience, we can predict where the dolphins are likely to be, though we never forget they are wild animals living in freedom. Observing them is a truly breathtaking experience. Dolphins are extremely social; they love to swim in the boat’s bow wave and surprise passengers with their leaps.
In this area, you may spot species such as the bottlenose dolphin, the striped dolphin, and occasionally the common dolphin. They move in search of food and favorable conditions, which is why our route is adapted every morning.
After the sighting, we will anchor in a beautiful cove for a swim in clean, calm waters. Snorkel gear is available on board so you can explore the marine life beneath the surface.
Our excursion is a comfortable, safe, and exciting plan—ideal for the whole family, and a guaranteed highlight for children.
