Why is the island of Mallorca an ideal place for dolphin watching?

Why Mallorca, you ask? Well, get ready to immerse yourself in a story that will take you through crystal clear waters, under sunny skies, and into the magic of close encounters with us dolphins. 🐬💙

☀️ A Sky That Smiles Almost All Year Round

Mallorca, that pearl in the heart of the Mediterranean, is blessed with a climate that seems to smile almost every day of the year. With over 300 days of sunshine, the chances of setting sail under clear blue skies and finding yourself on a bright day are exceptionally high. This radiant sunshine not only warms your spirits, but also the waters, creating the perfect environment for us dolphins to dance and play in sight.

🔍 Enchanting Visibility Waters

The waters around Mallorca are so clear that you might think they have been bewitched by mermaids. This enchanting visibility will not only delight you with breathtaking underwater views, but also increases your chances of spotting us, either from the deck of a boat or through a glass bottom, where the sea reveals its secrets.

🏝️ Our Marine Neighbourhoods

Although we love to roam the vast sea, there are areas around Mallorca where we tend to hang out, especially near the north coast and the cape of Formentor, as well as in the waters surrounding the nature reserve of Cabrera. These marine “neighbourhoods” not only offer us plenty of food, but are also areas where the waters are usually calmer, allowing for easier and more pleasant observation.

🚤 Dolphin-friendly Infrastructure

Mallorca is well equipped to welcome travellers from all over the world, with infrastructures that facilitate everything from transport to unparalleled experiences at sea. With a wide range of sailing options, from luxury yachts to catamarans with underwater viewing, you’ll find the perfect boat for your dolphin watching adventure.

🌊 The Calm Sea: Our Games Stage

The sea around Mallorca, especially during the summer months, is usually calm, as if Poseidon himself had blessed us with the perfect conditions for our encounter. This calm sea not only makes your trip more pleasant, but also allows us dolphins to approach you without any worries, to look around and, of course, to show you our best jumps and tricks.

🌿 A Commitment to Conservation

Finally, Mallorca and its inhabitants have a strong commitment to marine conservation. By choosing to come here, you become part of a movement that values and protects marine life, ensuring that future generations can enjoy these experiences as much as you do.

🐬 Ready for Adventure?

So, my friends, if you are looking for a place where nature comes together in perfect harmony to offer you the dolphin watching adventure of a lifetime, Mallorca awaits you. With its kind climate, clear waters, accessible dolphin neighbourhoods, friendly infrastructure and calm seas, you are about to embark on an experience you will remember forever.
