Whale-Watching with firmm in Spain
When?
Depending on the weather, we offer several excursions per day, which you can book a few days in advance. The whale watching season 2022 ends on 31th October.
Where?
Starting point for our excursions is Tarifa, the southernmost city of the European mainland. Meeting point is the firmm-office inside the harbour (between diving-center and port authority).
What?
Watch the whales and dolphins of the Strait of Gibraltar and learn interesting facts about the animals! You are also welcome to book our observation weeks.

Directions
Meeting point for the boat trips is at our harbour office:
- Please walk through the harbour entrance into the harbour area.
- After a few metres, go down the stairs on the right.
- Our port office is the second to last office on the right-hand side. You will probably already see the firmm signs.
How does it work?
- Meeting point/tickets: one hour before departure at the harbour office
- about 30-minute introductory lectures (at least in German, English, Spanish) with interesting information.
- Early tours (10 am or earlier): Meeting only 30 minutes before departure (lecture after the tour)
Please note: We observe whales and dolphins in the wild. Even though we spot animals on 99% of our trips, we never know in advance which species we will encounter.
