A dolphin and whale watching tour on the Costa del Sol promises your family an exciting holiday experience with countless species of marine life. Andalucia coast is indeed a nature lovers’ paradise.
The meeting point of Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean in southern Spain is an exciting place for dolphin and whale watching. On your tour to the Costa del Sol resort town Marbella, you would surely like to take a dolphin watching excursion.
On your dolphin and whale watching trip from Marbella, you will travel to the Straits of Gibraltar which is the centre of wildlife tour in Andalucia because of the high concentration of marine mammals: Pilot whales, Sperm whales, Orcas, Fin whales and three different species of Dolphins.
It’s the unique geographic position that makes a continual passage of cetaceans or large aquatic mammal species. Moreover, the dense Mediterranean water with high salinity and Atlantic with lighter water creates a unique food chain with the flow of water masses from the former.
Interestingly, on a typical dolphin and whale watching adventure, most of us hope to spot the rare Fin Whales or a Sperm Whale which is very much normal in the Tarifa region.
As far as dolphin watching is concerned, the Tarifa region is popular for being a natural habitat for this amazing creature. And if you are amongst the luckiest, you will get the chance to catch few snaps of the rarest Striped dolphin and the Harbour porpoise.
