Book Your Whale & Dolphin Observation in Denia, Valencian Community
Step aboard our quiet, 100% electric sailing boat El Som Mar and spend approximately four unforgettable hours searching for whales and dolphins off the coast of Denia, departing from Marina El Portet (Pontoon 5, Berth nº40); you’ll cruise offshore along the stunning Valencian coastline and past the marine reserve of Cabo de San Antonio, where occasional sightings of dolphins and migrating Fin whales occur between March and September (with peak sightings in May and June). You’ll travel in a maximum group of 10 for a personal, family-friendly experience with no age restrictions, learn about local cetaceans and the Mediterranean ecosystem from an onboard guide, listen for calls using a hydrophone when animals are close, and enjoy calm, respectful observation-no chasing-so you won’t disturb natural behaviour. Choose a Shared Experience (from €95 adults / €75 children / €35 infants) or book the whole boat privately (from €850); multilingual guiding is available in English and Spanish, and the trip includes water, beer, organic soft drinks and fresh fruit sourced locally. By booking this Mediterranean-based whale and dolphin trip you also support conservation: 7.5% of net revenue is donated to WeWhale Association to protect these species.
