Who each dolphin cruise in Mallorca suits

Families with older children on the north coast

Families with older children do well around Alcudia on the north coast, provided nobody minds the alarm. Hotel pickup is an option on one boat, which leaves at sunrise and stops at Coll Baix for a short swim. Sightings are sold as guaranteed there, so check its card for what that means in practice.

Wildlife fans who want their own seat

Wildlife fans who want their own seat around Coll Baix can look at the premium boat. It gives each person an individual seat, with the skipper and fuel covered. The Gojet Cave adds a second reason to go out.
