Watch wild dolphins, enter sea caves, and swim off Es Coll Baix on a small-group speedboat from Can Picafort in Mallorca.
“This was a lot of fun on the boat and the dolphins are stunning! But be prepared to spend a lot of time on the boat getting to the dolphins (approx 45 mins- 1 hour). Swimming stop was nice but very short (10-15 mins) and driver said we were not allowed to swim to the beach which would have been nice to see the goats on the beach.”

“booked this trip last minute on the morning. The lady was fantastic picked us up in 10 mins. The driver and tour guide was superb. his love for the dolphins was amazing. you could really sense it. amazing experience we saw about 20 dolphins for the whole time jumping, having fun. sunrise also beautiful. it was a wonderful experience”
Watch wild dolphins from a small Can Picafort boat, then visit a cave and swim in a cove on Mallorca's northern coast.
“Amazing trip with an amazing guide. This is the first time I really saw dolphins in their one home instead of stucking in small aquarium and playing game to please people. So if you wish to show your families or young kids the real life of the animal they care and love, this should be your first choice! Not to mention the excellent Tourist guide, you can definitely tell he not just treat this tour as this tour as a simple job but do care about the whole environment, he will try his best to ensure people’s your experience and also doesn't disturb the dolphin. Definitely recommended!🩷🐬Read more”
Watch wild dolphins off Palma, then swim in a clear cove on this friendly three-hour boat tour with optional hotel-area transfers.
“Very nice boat tour, we stopped in a beautiful bay to swim and snorkel for about 15 min, then we moved to catch the dolphins (we saw a bunch of them for about 20 min). On the boat are sold cold drinks and there’s a little toilet. A very good activity overall, the only thing to say is there was no guide at all (but not strictly necessary for the activity in my opinion)”
Spot wild dolphins off Palma, swim in a secluded cove, and enjoy a three-hour speedboat trip with transfers and multilingual crew.
“Nice small boat (large boats seems to be the criticism of other tours). No real commentary from the staff outside of pre-recorded facts /messages however we were OK with this but just be aware this aspect is fairly stripped back. But we saw lots of dolphins up close which is why we went, so this was great! Would highly recommend.”
