When Can You See Dolphins in Mallorca?

Dolphin watching in Mallorca is possible during the summer, from April to October, which is when we enjoy the best weather conditions. These months also coincide with the tourist season, ensuring plenty of options for tours. In winter, there are no dolphin-watching tours available.

What Is the Best Time to See Dolphins in Mallorca?

The best time to spot dolphins is early in the morning at sunrise. This is when the waters are calm, fewer boats are around, and the conditions are ideal for sightings. While it’s possible to see dolphins later in the day, especially after midday, the chances tend to decrease, and sightings may be less frequent. For the best experience, we recommend booking a morning tour.

Where Can You Go Dolphin Watching in Mallorca?

The northern part of the island, particularly from Port Alcudia and Port Pollensa, is the best place for dolphin watching in Mallorca. Many dolphin families live in the waters between Mallorca and Menorca, making this area a prime spot for sightings. Additionally, you can enjoy the spectacular sunrise during your dolphin-watching adventure, adding an unforgettable touch to your experience.

Can I Swim with Dolphins in Mallorca?

No, swimming with dolphins is not allowed in Mallorca. To protect these amazing creatures and ensure their wellbeing, interaction is limited to observing them in their natural habitat.

Will We See Dolphins?

Since 2014, we’ve been organizing dolphin-watching tours, and only once—during our first year—did we fail to spot dolphins. Our expert captains know exactly where to find them, and we can assure you a 99% chance of sightings. In the extremely rare event that you don’t see any dolphins, we’ll invite you to join another tour free of charge.

What Is the Best Boat for Dolphin Watching?

There are various types of boats used for dolphin-watching excursions, as you can see from the photos above. We don’t recommend very small boats, like 12-passenger Zodiacs, for these tours. The long distances traveled and potential for rough waters can make the experience less enjoyable. Larger boats are safer but may feel crowded. In Alcudia, we offer a 36-passenger boat that’s ideal for dolphin watching. It provides a safer, more comfortable experience in small groups while allowing you to get close to the dolphins.
