Port d’Alcudia: Sunrise at Sea & Dolphin Watching Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,035 reviews · 3 hours · from $69

Leave Puerto de Alcúdia before sunrise for a three-hour catamaran trip along Mallorca’s north coast. You’ll sail for about an hour, watch the sky brighten, look for wild dolphins, and enjoy a simple breakfast of pastries, bread, ham, cheese, coffee, juice, or milk.

“The sunrise boat trip was fantastic. Yes it’s an early start but once you see the beautiful sunrise and then get to see all the dolphins it all makes it worthwhile. The duration is perfect not too long. we were blessed to see a lot of dolphins. The boat size is good, lots of space. The quality of breakfast included is fine. We did not do this for the breakfast but if you did need to eat they did provide enough until you returned back to the port. My only complaint would be that it is a bit on the pricier side. However I do recommend.”
