See dolphins & marine life without getting wet
Mallorca offers the opportunity to spot several dolphin species in the Mediterranean. Most sightings happen offshore, especially on dolphin watching and glass bottom boat tours.
The bottlenose dolphin is the most commonly seen species in Mallorca. They are often spotted near the coast and are known for their intelligence and playful behavior.
Striped dolphins are fast swimmers usually found in deeper offshore waters. They are known for their speed and acrobatic jumps.
Common dolphins travel in large pods and are often seen riding the waves of boats.
Risso’s dolphins are recognizable by their scarred bodies and blunt heads. They are often seen in deeper waters.
Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt. They emit clicks that bounce back, allowing them to detect objects, prey and distances underwater.
