We were today on a drive and luckily we saw 10-20 dolphins. We had to drive for almost an hour before we found dolphins, the driver also drove 20-30 minutes longer than usual (of course he asked everyone if it was ok) when he had an inkling that the dolphins could be found further away. The dolphins came close and there were a lot of them. Of course, we were prepared for the fact that we wouldn't necessarily see them, because of course they couldn't promise anything.
Weather was good and sunny, sunscreen was necessary. The trip to the sea was a little bumpy at first, but when we came back it was already calmer. Music on the boat was great and the staff were nice, they also take good care of the children.
Without Tripadvisor-app, I wouldn't have known that the tickets you buy online have to be exchanged for paper tickets at the kiosk near the boat. This was not mentioned anywhere else. Fortunately, I had read experiences about this on Tripadvisor, so I knew how to prepare. The kiosk is right opposite the boat and is easy to find. The boat trip to the sea was a good experience in itself, seeing the dolphins was a huge bonus. I recommend!
There was a photographer on the boat who took pictures of everyone, made them into paper pictures and a key chain and then sold them to us. We would have bought it if we had known in advance that you could only pay with cash (paying with a card didn't work) and we didn't have cash with us. It's a shame that we couldn't buy any pictures...
Read moreAwesome experience! My boyfriend and I booked a dolphin cruise pretty much last minute. Easy booking process, all the crew was super nice, the atmosphere on the boat was great. Of course they say there's no guarantee we will see the dolphins, which we totally understood - the cruise along Costa del Sol would be worth it even without the dolphins. HOWEVER! The crew did everything possible so that we actually see them. The moment we left the harbour they started contacting other people through the radio to check if someone has spotted the dolphins recently. Within 20min we were surrounded by those beautiful animals playing along the boat. Amazing. Additional nice features: music, bar with a solid selection of drinks, and a photographer who took pictures at the beginning of the cruise and towards the end offered little posters with photos of the shore, dolphins, the boat and a picture of you taken an hour earlier, as well as personalized keychains. Some would say it's cheesy and just trying to make more money off of their clients, but I think that if they go into trouble of taking photos of each person on the cruiser, print them, and stick them to a poster or a keychain during the 90min they have while everyone is trying to spot a dolphin, they deserve a few extra euro for an effort of making a nice souvenir from the cruise. Overall great experience, I'd...
Read moreThis is an absolute must if you are visiting the Benalmedena/Torremolinos area! Very well priced at 17euros this doubles as a Dolphin trip & Cruise with swimming. Very well located just off the main Benalmedena Marina right next to the beach.
There are alot of staff which are very helpful with pushchairs or senior patrons and they even take photos for you which are just 5euro at the end.Alot cheaper than other tours Ive been on in Spain.
There is a bar on board with ice lollies,beers,and colas as well as cans of kopparberg if you want them. These refreshments range from 2€ to 5€
We saw alot of Dolphins and they come right along the Boat which is just amazing for the children. My son is 2.5yrs old and the boat was more than safe enough for him as well as the railings being good enough for him to see through them and experience the schools of Dolphins. The best part is kids under 4 are Free which is again alot better than other places ive experienced in Spain.
During the outward and inward journey they is music playing which adds a great chill vibe and just creates a great atmosphere as you watch on the costa Del sol
Overall This is a Solid 10/10 family trip and in today's mad world of inflation and worthless money €34 euro for two adults & a child is a...
