Delighted we got to see dolphins! Very happy children, guide was great with pointing them out. Also thank you to the lovely guide/captain who allowed my partner to propose to me on the boat! Slightly embarrassed but beyond happy. Thank you all again! 🩵”

5.Dolphin Watching Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 997 reviews · from $54

Review of Mallorca’s 3-hour dolphin cruise from Paguera or Santa Ponsa, with glass-bottom viewing, a swim stop, bars, and snorkeling.

“The trip was excellent and the staff were amazing. The only negative was the inconsideration of other guests on the boat. People were sprawled out along benches (laid down) whilst we had to stand for the duration of the trip. We stood at the back of the boat and this was fine until people were getting off to swim and then we literally had nowhere to stand without people pushing! On a more positive note, the tour was amazing and we saw sooo many dolphins! Would definitely book again!”

8.3-Hour Morning Dolphin Watching Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 423 reviews · from $63

Search for wild dolphins off Palma, then swim in a clear cove on this 3-hour boat trip with crew, bar, and optional transfers.

“This tour was amazing. Pick up and transfer went smoothly both ways. The guide took us to the pier and met us there after. The boat had seats for everyone and most of them are shaded. You can buy drinks and snacks on board. The crew takes a picture of you which you can purchase but don't have to. We docked to swim and dive for about half an hour. We had roughly the same time to watch the dolphins later on. The crew and guides were all pleasant. You should make sure in advance where your meeting point is because traffic is always late and busy. The boat was…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 183 reviews · from $63

Watch wild dolphins from a speedboat in Palma Bay, swim in a clear-water cove, and enjoy a three-hour coastal cruise with shuttle return.

“This is a great trip while on holiday. We loved it. The boat in the description originally stated catamaran, which is what we were expecting but not what arrived. The boat we got was great though, fast, clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff on the boat were lovely and we had a great day, seeing dolphins and jumping into the sea. It really was a brilliant family day out. We were picked up at 12pm for a 3 hour excursion starting in Palma 25mins away, we were driven round in circles then arrived in Palma at 1pm where we were given an hour to explore Palma which was unexpected but…”
