Attractions in Marbella

Dolphin watching excursions have been operating here since 1991 and many of the local species are recognized individually. Fed by two small rivers, and being fairly well sheltered, Dolphin Bay plays host to countless species of marine life, and is a nature lover's paradise. It is a natural nursery for dolphins, where many young can be seen, particularly during the summer months, in their natural environment.

Over the last 12 years, you have been able to watch both Common and Striped dolphins on almost every trip. Less often seen here are the larger Bottlenose dolphins. These are the ones most people imagine when thinking about dolphins. (Incidently, the dolphins kept in captivity are usually Bottlenose.) The Bottlenose dolphins pop into the Bay now and again, as do the Pilot whales and Orcas. We have also seen Sperm whales passing through the Straits of Gibraltar, and this spring the Sperm whales were particularly impressive! A group of 6 stayed in this area for several days, much to our delight! For several years, we have been able to watch Fin whales at very close quarters when they "take up residence" in the Bay for their summer holidays. This year, Phillip and his passengers were treated to a very rare sight here: a fin whale and her newborn calf. The Straits of Gibraltar, passing between the Pillars of Hercules, is a major highway on the migration route of whales, as it is the only entrance / exit between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic
