1.Day trip to Gibraltar and Dolphin Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,430 reviews · 8 - 10 hours · from $73Our pick

Combine Gibraltar sightseeing with a 90-minute dolphin cruise from Málaga, including transport, free time, and border-crossing tips.

“Th boat tour was fantastic, we stopped numerous times to watch the different species of dolphin, even the bottlenose! The coach drive there and back was a lot longer than advertised so we didn't get much time to explore Gibraltar. I think the pick up time should be extended so you can see more of the beautiful place. Our tour guide (i forget his name) was lovely and coped really well when the same 3 passengers delayed us at every step. All in all great value for money, I'd definitely recommend 👌”

3.Koh Samui: Pink Dolphin, Pig Island, and Snorkeling Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 249 reviews · 7 hours · from $83

Review of Koh Samui’s pink dolphin, Koh Tan snorkeling, and Pig Island day trip, with practical advice on value, timing, wildlife, and sea conditions.

“great, enjoyed the pig island alot. the pigs were super chill and the beach was so beautiful, really loved it, sadly didn't get to see pink dolphins but just picked an unlucky day where they didn't appear as the day before they appeared. snorkelling was super fun, visibility wasn't amazing but that's due to the storm the day before, but overall would love to go to the pig island again as it was the highlight, it was amazing, would highly recommend wearing shorts as you have to tread the water alot up to your thighs to get onto the boat and the island”
