What To Expect
Disfrutarán de una navegación en catamarán por el Mar de Alborán, a lo largo de la Costa del Sol, en una experiencia pensada para observar delfines en libertad y conocer el entorno marino desde el mar. Durante el recorrido, el barco puede tomar distintas direcciones —hacia Fuengirola, mar abierto o Málaga— en función de las condiciones del mar y de la localización de los cetáceos. Este factor hace que cada salida sea diferente, permitiendo descubrir distintos paisajes costeros y puntos de interés desde una perspectiva única. A bordo, la tripulación ofrece información básica sobre la fauna marina y el entorno natural, promoviendo una navegación respetuosa y de bajo impacto ambiental. La experiencia se realiza en una embarcación certificada con Bandera Azul, comprometida con la educación ambiental y la sostenibilidad. La duración habitual del paseo es de aproximadamente 100 minutos, aunque puede variar ligeramente según la localización de los delfines y las condiciones de navegación.
Benalmadena
Desde el mar se pueden contemplar distintos puntos emblemáticos de la costa de Benalmádena y Fuengirola, como el Castillo de El-Bil-Bil, la Estupa Budista, antiguas torres vigía y extensas playas mediterráneas.

4.00Even though we didn’t see dolphins it doesn’t mean they don’t exist, a bit like the Loch Ness monster. We did get a %50 reduction on either another tour or the ferry to Fuengirola
Good boat trip and saw quite a few dolphins.

5.00Had an amazing afternoon. Was cold in the wind bring a coat or blanket but there are some blankets in board. Staff were all super friendly and kids enjoyed it as much as I did. They did everything they could to ensure we seen Dolphins as can not always be seen. It payed off we had many swimming around us. Would 100% recommend.
Fun boat trip

4.00I did this trip in April and booked online. Weather forecast said a gentle breeze, so I thought that meant a good chance of the sea not being choppy. However when we got to the ticket office the lady told us the sea was choppy today but that if we weren't happy we could reschedule for the next day. We decided to do the trip and it was great fun. Very choppy but that added to the fun. We saw a great view of the lovely coastline but unfortunately didn't find any dolphins. The crew were excellent and very friendly and helpful. As we didn't see any dolphins We had our ticket stamped to enable us to have a half price trip any time in the future. My 9 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. I would recommend.
Excellent
