Gibraltar, United Kingdom

Gibraltar, United Kingdom-port

Gibraltar, located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar, known to ancient mariners as the Pillars of Hercules. Historically, Gibraltar has been an important base for the British Royal Navy. It is most famous for the geological formation, the Rock of Gibraltar and its tribe of Barbary Apes. Despite long sieges throughout its history, it seemed nothing could destroy the Rock or its people, leading to the phrase “solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.”

    Join us for a delightful journey as we explore the dolphins and abundant sea life surrounding Gibraltar.

    This tour begins with a quick transfer by mini-coach from the pier to the marina. Upon arrival, you will board your boat and sail to the Straits and Bay of Gibraltar. A resident naturalist will accompany the tour, and provide commentary on the region's sea fauna, topography and species you might encounter.

    Keep your eyes peeled for the dolphins that live in the area, including the striped and bottle-nosed dolphins. On rare occasions, whales may also be observed as they migrate through the Straits from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Whale species sighted in the area include sperm, fin, pilot, orca, and Minke whales. Next, the boat will then sail past the Europa Point Lighthouse to the eastern side of Gibraltar to view Gorham's Cave.

    Afterward, you will reboard the mini-coach for the return drive to the pier.

    Please note: As with all wildlife tours, marine life sightings cannot be guaranteed. This tours operation is dependent on cooperative weather. This tour requires very little walking and no steps to climb. The sightseeing boat has a bar for beverage purchases, as well as restrooms. Guests who elect to stay in town will be responsible for making their own way back to the pier.
