Our take

It's Fuerteventura's most-reviewed dolphin trip and fairly priced for two hours with drinks and a swim. The rating (4.2) is lower than for other activities: some reviewers mention shortened trips or no swim, and you feel it when the sea is rough. Book it for a calm day and don't treat sightings as guaranteed.

Meeting point

Morro Jable harbour, "Magic Dolphin" boat.

If you don't book a transfer, be at Morro Jable harbour 30 minutes before departure and look for the Magic Dolphin.

The experience

What you'll see

  • Dolphins and, with luck, whales off the Jandía coast.
  • The southern coast of the Jandía peninsula from the sea.
  • Morro Jable harbour and the Matorral beaches.

How it works

You board the Magic Dolphin, a modern multi-deck boat, in Morro Jable harbour. For about two hours the crew looks for cetaceans off the south coast while a guide explains which species live in these waters and how to approach them without disturbing them: the operator follows a marine mammal protection protocol. There's a swim stop and drinks on board.

If you book with a transfer, you're picked up at points in Costa Calma, Esquinzo, Morro Jable or Jandía, about a five-minute walk from hotels in the area. If you go on your own, you need to be at the harbour 30 minutes beforehand.

Practical tips

  • Sightings: not guaranteed. These are wild animals.
  • Sea: the south of Jandía is more sheltered from the trade wind than the north, but in strong wind the boat moves. If you get seasick, take something before boarding.
  • What to bring: swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a layer for the way back.
  • Age: from 2 years old.

Who I'd recommend it to

  • Anyone staying in Jandía, Morro Jable or Costa Calma.
  • Families who want a short sea trip with a swim included.

Who I would NOT recommend it to

  • Anyone who gets seasick easily.
  • Anyone looking for a serious wildlife trip in a small group: it's a large tourist boat.
  • Anyone staying in the north: it's more than an hour and a half from Corralejo.

Accessibility

Not suitable for people with reduced mobility or wheelchair users.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with a full refund.
