Itinerary
An excursion is much more than just to take you from your hotel in Mallorca to the venue. Our philosophy is that every excursion in Mallorca should be an experience and we use the best guides and choose the best itineraries to ensure that we create unforgettable experiences.
Have you ever wondered how it is to see the dolphins in their natural habitat having fun? We have a great boat tour so you can enjoy this once in a lifetime experience! The Alcudia Dolphin and Sunrise trip has: 1. Sightseeing: our captain will take you on the breathtaking route of the northern coast of Mallorca. 2. Dolphin watching: we give you a unique chance to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat. 3. Breakfast: enjoy your most important meal of the day accompanied by dolphins and beautiful sunrise
Set sail by boat from the Port of Alcudia at sunrise to see magnificent colours of the sky and sea as the day slowly breaks. Watch as the ball of fire literally emerges over the sea on the horizon and lights up Alcudia Bay with a stunning glow. We will sail out of Alcudia Bay into the high seas where the dolphins can normally be found. We will search for dolphins on our boat trip and then, when we find them, we will turn off the engines and just enjoy the peaceful calm of the sea and nature. Watching dolphins swim, play and jump in their natural habitat is a magical experience not to be missed. Make sure you have plenty of storage on your camera - you'll need it! We maintain our distance from the dolphins, so as not to disturb them and you may see them from a distance or, as is often the case, they may come close to the boat to show off their acrobatic skills to the audience on board.
On the way back to the harbour, you will be invited to a buffet breakfast of bread with cheese and ham and a selection of breakfast pastries, accompanied by tea or coffee.

An early start that took us to see dolphins swimming in their natural environment. About 45 minutes travelling and the same watching dolphins swim and play close by. On the trip back we had breakfast which included Breadrolls with cheese and ham plus a croissant with coffee or hot chocolate and orange juice. A great trip out hosted by pleasant and helpful crew. Thanks !

The boat was busy but we were travelling with 2 children in wheelchairs and were prioritised throughout. Pastries and coffee were great. The staff communicated where the dolphins might be and how long until we got there. It isn't an exact science and sometimes they have to change plans to adapt. We were reminded about being respectful to both the marine life and to ensure everyone on board got to see (ie don't rush the sides of the boat etc) Well worth the early wake up!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌅🐬✨ We’re truly delighted to hear that your Sunrise Dolphin Watching trip was such a positive experience for your family. We’re especially happy that the crew could assist and prioritise your children throughout the excursion. Making all guests feel comfortable, safe and included is extremely important to us 😊 You also perfectly described the reality of dolphin watching: these are wild animals in their natural environment, so every trip is unique and sometimes routes need to adapt depending on where the dolphins are spotted. We’re glad the team kept everyone informed and helped create a respectful atmosphere on board for both the marine life and all passengers. 🌊🐬 And of course… pastries, coffee and a magical sunrise at sea always help make the early wake-up worthwhile! ☕🥐✨ At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience in Mallorca, we pride ourselves on offering memorable, respectful and family-friendly experiences at sea. Thank you again for your recommendation — we hope to welcome you back on board again soon! 🌴✨ — The Nofrills Excursions Team
We had booked an excursion through TripAdvisor. On D-Day, meet at 5am, but no one came! We waited more than 2 hours, with other groups in the same situation. No information, no message to warn us that the excursion was cancelled. I then requested a refund from TripAdvisor, but they referred me to a Third party provider, who was completely unreachable. I tried to get back to TripAdvisor, but I couldn’t. Frankly, this is unacceptable for a platform of this size. Zero tracking, zero Customer Service, zero professionalism. I strongly advise against booking through them!
Merci pour votre commentaire. 🙏 Nous comprenons parfaitement votre frustration, mais après vérification, votre réservation n’a pas été effectuée avec Nofrills Excursions. Vous êtes passé par une autre plateforme tierce, et c’est malheureusement ce qui explique l’absence de communication et les difficultés de remboursement.
That was great. Sunrise plus dolphins will remain a great memory. The boat staff very friendly
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 🌅🐬 Chez Nofrills Excursions, avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience à Mallorca, nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié ce moment magique entre lever du soleil et dauphins. Notre équipage met tout en œuvre pour créer des souvenirs inoubliables. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt pour une autre belle aventure en mer ✨
We were over the moon with this trip. There were lots of dolphins - large and small -- swimming right up close to the boat. Here's why: dolphins are more active first thing in the morning with social behaviour and hunting. Also, more active at low tide. So the 5am rise to see them was well worth it as everything was aligned. Once we understood these things, we realised why we had not seen dolphins before on any of our boat trips in other countries? Those were during the daylight hours when it was much more hit and miss. The boat crew were lovely - helpful and kind to passengers who were unwell from sea sickness (it was choppy). They didn't hype it up with a long talk about the history of the area etc etc -- they just got on with their job of taking us to see the dolphins, smiling and joking along the way. The skipper was whistling to the dolphins as soon as they appeared which was really sweet and magical. If you're wanting to see dolphins, this is a trip you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Too many people sick it’s disgusting We saw lots of dolphins The sunrise was beautiful and there’s nice music on board
Thank you for your feedback, Latif. We're really happy you enjoyed the beautiful sunrise, the dolphin sightings, and the atmosphere on board. 🐬🌅🎶 Regarding seasickness — unfortunately, it's something that can happen depending on sea conditions and individual sensitivity. We always recommend guests who are prone to motion sickness to take preventive measures before boarding. We’ll also pass your comment on to the crew to help us improve comfort even further on days when the sea is a bit rougher. Thanks again for joining us!
The crew is very caring by serving us breakfast included in the price. Dolphin watching will remain unforgettable because its duration was really important and we were able to make the most of the ballet they offered us.
Merci beaucoup Pascale pour votre beau retour ! Nous sommes ravis que cette sortie en mer au lever du soleil ait été une expérience inoubliable pour vous.
