What to expect
A catamaran out of Ocean Village into the bay, where common, striped and bottlenose dolphins live all year; sightings are close to guaranteed and the Rock from the water is the best view of it there is.
Three resident dolphin species in the bay Departures run from Gibraltar, and the whole experience takes about 1.5 h — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Gibraltar itinerary.
