ESTRECHO NATURA
At Estrecho Natura we carry out dolphin, whale and bird watching ecotours in the Bay of Algeciras and the Strait of Gibraltar, with a biologist guide on board so you don’t miss a thing.
TRIPS THE WHOLE YEAR
Our activities are available throughout the whole year. We can make any trip when the sea allows it, regardless of the season or time of year. Tell us about your idea and take advantage of the opportunity to live a unique experience in the Strait.
EXCLUSIVE SERVICE
We offer outings on a boat with reduced passage (8 seats) to have a direct and close relationship with passengers, in addition to raising awareness and promoting the protection of biodiversity.
To do this, there will be guides graduated in Biology on board who will be in charge of disseminating information about the environment and the animals of the Natural Park, as well as instilling the respect and admiration they feel towards the marine environment.
SUSTAINABLE PROYECT
At Estrecho Natura we want to be consistent with our principles, and for this reason we want to commit ourselves to reducing our effect on nature as much as possible. To do this, we collect information of a scientific nature during each outing to contribute to greater knowledge about the species observed and, in addition, we organize garbage collection from the boat with children and adults.

Fred G2024-04-04Super expérience!!! Sortie dauphin hyper respectueuse de la faune. Petite compagnie créée par une biologiste et son ami, sympa pro et authentique. Nous avons passé un super moment au plus proche des dauphins (petit bateau de 6 pers max) 👍🏻
Seth Kuiper2024-04-04Great experience. Saw what must have been over a hundred dolphins! We took a bus down from Seville for the tour, it was definitely worth it.
Marta Fuentes Miranda2024-03-17¡Una experiencia increíble! Gracias a Irene y Álvaro por llevarnos, por explicarnos sobre la zona y sus habitantes, y por resolver nuestras dudas y curiosidades. Sin duda repetiremos 😊

Guillermo Carmona2024-01-15Muy buena experiencia. Gracias por todo!
Belén González Benito2023-12-28Una experiencia completamente inolvidable. Estuvimos solos y Álvaro fue un verdadero encanto con nuestros hijos y con nosotros. Tienen muchísima experiencia y conocen la bahía a la perfección. Los delfines muy majos :) para repetir!
Lorena Andrés fernandez2023-10-07Ha sido una experiencia muy bonita. Irene y Álvaro son muy amables, se nota que les gusta lo que hacen. La actividad es muy amena, los niños lo han disfrutado. Somos afortunados de poder disfrutar de este tipo de cetáceos ( delfines) a unos minutos de Algeciras y de que gente como Irene y Álvaro ayuden a concienciar, divulgar y preservar el medio en el que viven. Gracias y suerte.
T K2023-10-06Wir hatten die Tour hier in Algeciras gebucht da es in Tarifa zu windig war. Das Team Estrecho Natura ist wirklich super nett. Sie erklären viel und haben Ahnung von dem was sie tun und das merkt man auch. Das Boot ist klein man fährt nur mit sehr kleinen Gruppen raus aber Platz ist ausreichend da. Wir haben eine ganze Menge Delfine gesehen und das auch sehr nah. Die Tiere werden überhaupt nicht gedrängt und man spürt das die Tiere dem Team am Herzen liegen. Da unsere Kamera nicht so gut war wurden uns sogar noch Fotos von dem Tag zugesendet. Rundum war es einfach nur perfekt. Gerne wieder
María Pujana2023-09-28Bonita excursión para ver cetáceos. Hubo suerte y se pudo ver delfines, " voladores" y los curiosos y gigantescos barcos del puerto de Algeciras. El trato muy cordial y agradable. Para repetir sin duda
not just sightings
