★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 626 reviews · 1 hour 45 minutes (approx.) · from $42Best value

Sailboat Intrepido takes you from Estepona Marina into the bay for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The crew searches for wild dolphins, serves drinks, and may stop for a swim. Expect a small group, comfortable seating, sea views, and no guarantee of dolphin sightings.

“The boat is nice, service was great but we havent seen any dolphins. We were said at the boat that we may not see them.This was a surprise (the main reason for buying tickets were dolphins) because there is not such warning prior the purchase of the ticket.The title "dolphin wathing..." is too much promising.Our kids were sad. Our trip was postponed due to maintenance-if we go previous day,we would may see them...”
