Situated just 13 km from the Moroccan coast, Tarifa is one of the main crossing points of the Straits of Gibraltar. It is also a very popular destination for the quality of its beaches which can be enjoyed for a large part of the year thanks to the warm climate of these lands.
You will start your adventure at the departure point where we will equip you with everything you need to enjoy whale watching in the Strait of Gibraltar. During 2 and a half hours, you will enjoy a trip to observe and learn about the fascinating world of cetaceans.
The Straits of Gibraltar is an area declared a Biosphere Reserve, and although there are up to seven different species of cetaceans: whales and dolphins are the most common.
Its geographical location is privileged, as you will find yourself between two continents: Africa and Europe and right, between two countries: Morocco and Spain; and right where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.
