Sail first class with us
Over the past 43 years we have been operating many other copycat dolphin tour operators have come and gone, most of which either pretend to be The Original Dolphin Safari or pretend to have a higher success rate at finding dolphins than us. Neither is true, we have the highest success rate of finding dolphins and keep accurate records to prove it, please see the link to a facebook page at the top where you will see we post every day including trips where no dolphins have been found, which are rare for us. No other tour operator keep such accurate records going back so far.
Before you book, be cautious and do some research, make sure you are booking with the real Original Dolphin Safari and be wary of companies who offer cut price tickets as you may well be paying for a boat ride only and you won’t get to see any dolphins, instead of a dedicated professional dolphin trip. We sail as far as is necessary to find the dolphins average sailings take approximately one and a half hours but some trips can take up to 2 and a half hours if the passengers want us to keep trying. We also guarantee comfort for every passenger and never squeeze passengers onto our boat so you have maximum quality to see the dolphins closer than any other boat. It is not about numbers for us at Dolphin Safari, it is about protecting a long standing and high reputation for being the best.

You will be so close to the dolphins you will not only hear their breathing, as they come up for air, but also their splashes and sometimes get splashed yourself. They are naturally playful animals and participate in underwater games, leaping and amazing acrobatics. They are also naturally curious and will often be seen swimming alongside our boat trying to get a closer look at you, giving you the chance for eye to eye contact with them, a truly magical once in a lifetime experience. On Board our boat Five star treatment for every passenger Fully qualified professional crew Comfortable cushioned seating for everyone Indoor observation lounge with cushioned seating Space to move around with first class views Live commentary Refreshments available upon request Toilet facilities Fully licensed to the latest cruise liner British Maritime Standards Smooth and powerful twin engine 430 hp turbo Certified to sail the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar We have 35 seats on our boat, all cushioned, but we only ever take a maximum of 25 passengers to ensure quality and comfort, so you won’t find yourself crammed in with a large group of tourists with nowhere to sit or room to move around. As you can see from our films, there are literally hundreds of dolphins in the Bay of Gibraltar that come so close you could almost touch them. We have successfully managed to capture many hours of footage both above and below the water line. The film below was captured in October of 2010 from our underwater camera which is mounted on a 6 foot probe which shows just how many dolphins there are and how close they come to our boat. We are the original dolphin tour operator in Gibraltar and take pride in not only visiting the dolphins but interacting with them, our twin engine power boat is specially designed to be able to maneuver with the dolphins as they watch us with as much curiosity as we watch them. Dolphin Safari has spent the last 42 years studying the dolphins, so for the ultimate close encounter come and join us on the blue boat.
