See dolphins in Malaga. Our seas and oceans are full of wonderful creatures of nature that cannot be seen except in their natural habitat, the sea. The combination of Malaga's location with the Mediterranean Sea, on the one hand, and the proximity of the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic Ocean, on the other, makes the Costa del Sol a special place of passage for a wide variety of marine animals, which can be seen on the surface, such as bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, moonfish, seabirds, etc., which let us feel the magic of being in contact with marine life just a few meters away.
Where to see dolphins in Malaga
From our boat trips, there is a high probability of seeing dolphins in Malaga and we always try to locate them but, honestly, they do not always let themselves be seen. How to spot dolphins? To spot them, it is necessary to go into more distant waters, between 3 and 5 miles from the coast. In these, as they are deeper waters, they have more opportunities to feed.
The experience of sailing quietly and encountering dolphins is an experience you will never forget. The moment of seeing them is incredible and very exciting, but we must give them the respect they deserve, taking into account that we are visitors to their habitat, to their home.
How to act correctly when seeing dolphins in Malaga
In most cases, ignorance and the excitement of the moment lead us to commit imprudences that can hinder or damage the navigation of these animals. For this reason, at Oceanautic we want to do our bit to raise awareness and educate our clients regarding marine life. So, pay attention! Keep these tips in mind:
Don't chase them.
The approach can be made very smoothly in a trajectory parallel to that of the animals (not facing, behind or perpendicular to their trajectory), without making sudden changes in course or speed, which will be constant and not exceed four knots or that of the slowest animal in the group.
Avoid making noise
Do not shout or make sounds that may attract or drive them away.
Don't touch them
Limit direct physical contact with both people and the boat itself.
Beware of propellers
If they approach the boat within 60 metres, put the engine in neutral or stop it if necessary. If you need to move away for any reason, start the engine and steer gently, being careful with the boat's propeller so as not to harm them.
In short, to see dolphins in Malaga stop, calmly, next to those who accompany you and put all your senses to enjoy this unique and unforgettable moment.
