Itinerary

Our adventure begins at the Tarifa harbor, where we welcome you directly onto the boat, ensuring everything is ready for the journey.

We navigate the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, a unique location for cetacean watching, where it's possible to observe up to seven different species throughout the year:

• Common, striped, and bottlenose dolphins
• Pilot whales
• Sperm whales
• Fin whales
• Killer whales

Our route takes us between the coasts of Tarifa and Morocco, following the natural paths of these impressive marine mammals. On most outings, we get closer to the African coast, where the conditions are usually optimal for observation.

***The departure time for orca watching may be adjusted based on the time they were spotted the previous day, in order to maximize the chances of an encounter. The company will contact you no later than the day before to inform you of any changes!!!
