This dolphin-watching boat trip from Puerto Pollensa is designed as a calm, respectful and unforgettable early-morning experience, taking place at sunrise, when the sea is usually at its smoothest and dolphins are most active. We depart before dawn to take full advantage of the peaceful conditions and to reach the best observation areas before other boats arrive.
Led by an experienced local captain who knows the waters around Cape Formentor in depth, we sail out of the bay towards one of the most spectacular and wildlife-rich areas in northern Mallorca. During the navigation, you will enjoy stunning views of the coastline and the dramatic cliffs of Formentor as the sun rises over the Mediterranean.
Once dolphins are spotted, the boat slows down and the engines are switched off, allowing for a quiet and non-intrusive encounter. For around 25 minutes, you can move freely around the boat, choosing the best viewpoint from the bow or upper deck to watch dolphins swimming, surfacing and sometimes jumping close to the boat. This respectful approach ensures a more natural behaviour from the animals and a truly emotional experience for visitors.
After the dolphin encounter, we head back towards Puerto Pollensa while you relax onboard and enjoy a light breakfast, including hot coffee, tea, juice and freshly baked croissants. This final part of the trip is perfect for sharing photos, reliving the moment and slowly returning to shore after a magical morning at sea.
This excursion is ideal for travellers looking for an authentic dolphin-watching experience, focused on nature, tranquility and quality, rather than speed or mass tourism.
