Whale & Dolphin Observation on Electric Sailing Boat in Denia

About this tour

Set sail on the electric 'El Som Mar' for a 4-hour cetacean hunt off Denia's coast. Skip the crowds and join a marine biologist aboard this zero-emission sailboat with up to 9 other guests. You'll hunt for fin whales, sperm whales, bottlenose and Risso's dolphins while learning their behaviour through a hydrophone. Between sightings, help remove ocean litter and support active conservation efforts. Complimentary drinks and local fruit included.

• Six cetacean species frequent these waters year-round
• Electric sailboat produces zero emissions
• Marine biologist leads hands-on ecology masterclass
• Participate in ocean litter removal during the sail

What to expect

You'll board the sailboat in early morning for calm seas and optimal visibility. The guide will brief you on marine life and Denia's coastal ecosystem before setting course into cetacean habitat. Once afloat, you'll listen passively and scan the horizon—sightings aren't guaranteed, but the six species that call these waters home offer decent odds. When whales or dolphins surface nearby, the hydrophone picks up their clicks and calls. Between potential encounters, the crew collects floating debris as part of their conservation mission. Expect a mix of sailing time, educational talk, and patient wildlife watching.
