Estepona Boat Cruise: Dolphin Search, Swim, Drinks & Snacks
Description
Enjoy a beautiful boat trip in Estepona and discover the Costa del Sol from the Mediterranean Sea. These waters are known for being home to dolphins in their natural habitat, and during the trip we will keep a lookout in case we are lucky enough to spot them (not guaranteed). This dolphin watching experience is perfect for small groups (max. 10–12 people), away from crowded tourist boats. On board our comfortable and spacious boat, you will cruise along the stunning Estepona coastline while enjoying the calm of the open sea. One of the highlights is our large 4x4 m sunbed at the bow - perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and taking in the views. If sea conditions allow, we will make a stop for a refreshing swim in the Mediterranean. You can choose to relax in the shaded seating area at the stern or enjoy the sun at the bow, always in a peaceful and exclusive atmosphere. Drinks and light snacks are included during the trip. We are a local family-run business, proud to offer a warm and personalized service, making every experience truly special and memorable.

It was such an amazing afternoon. They were so lovely. We were offered snacks and drinks, we saw the most beautiful bottle nosed dolphins and we even stopped for a swim. Some boats are quite aggressive with their boats chasing the dolphins but ours wasn't at all. He was really respectful and gave them space. I'm so glad we went with this company.
We booked this trip because it had some of the highest reviews in the area. The trip was advertised as a 2-hour boat trip, with the possibility of seeing dolphins and stopping for a swim. When we arrived to board, we were told that the weather was quite stormy out at sea. We were given the option of getting a full refund or staying on board, but the trip would be along the coastline only due to the weather. We decided to go ahead with the trip. There was a host on board who was friendly and offered us drinks throughout the journey. The boat itself is quite small, and it did feel fairly bumpy on the water. Our daughter was seasick a few times, although this isn't really the company's fault — it's simply the nature of being on the sea in those conditions. Overall, we thought there would be more to do on the boat during the trip so if you're looking for a relaxing coastal boat trip and understand that the experience can be affected by the weather, it's worth considering. However, if you're expecting a fun, lively boat trip with swimming and jumping into the open sea, similar to the experiences you might find in Turkey, Cyprus or Greece, this probably isn't the trip for you. The weather definitely affected our experience, so it's difficult to judge what the trip would normally be like in better conditions.
Everything went wonderfully, the children were happy, we saw dolphins, and the attention from the boat staff was extraordinary. Worth repeating
The captain and the crew were fantastic. They knew exactly where to go to find the dolphins. Initially, we thought we wouldn’t see them, but they stayed calm and found them. We had so many dolphins to see that it was incredible. The snacks were chips and drinks, which were more than enough. On the way back, they asked if we wanted to stop and go for a swim. Some of us did, and it was great. I highly recommend this excursion.
It was great fun for 4 boys aged between 15 snd 12. And for their grandparents too! The ‘hostess’ couldn’t have been more helpful or cheerful. Snacks and drinks were good. And … we saw dolphins and lots of them. The boys were hugely excited and took great photographs. One of them declared it their best ever boat trip! So, yes, we recommend it!
We had a lovely day at the sea, with great crew. They were really nice and patient with the kids. Got a splendid view of costa del sol from the seaside. Did not see any dolphins due to weather conditions, but still had a great experience.
No complaints. A very good experience:)
The boat tour was a birthday gift for my mom, and we were absolutely thrilled. We didn't see dolphins, but we did see whales, which is super rare. The crew was attentive from the start and continuously looked for dolphins with binoculars. The pickup worked exactly as stated, and we were on the water for two hours. A truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful boat trip, it was so nice to be on a boat that was not overcrowded. It was a lovely atmosphere and very enjoyable. Good value for money, highly recommended.
Had a great time on the water. Spotted many dolphins and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Drinks and snacks included is a plus!
