A tour I did a few years ago, a trip around the rock visiting all its attractions. You will be driven by minibus up the rock, visiting the nature reserve, St Michael's cave, Son et lumiere (historical show), the Great Siege Tunnels, the Apes Den, the Moorish Castle and stop off at a few of the panoramic viewpoints.
The tour was £10 when I did it, but I understand is now about £14, and good value for money in my opinion. You get to see everything of interest in about 3 hours or a little more.

I've not done this trip, but have seen the dolphins in this area. A few years ago while coming down the coast of Spain by bus, just a few miles from Gibraltar I noticed the waters were disturbed. I realised that it was dolphins, many hundreds of them, jumping as they made their progress along the coast.
.
There is a Dolphin cruise that heads out into Algeciras bay or the Straights, the operators guarantee sightings of dolphins or they will return your money. The trip costs (£20 adults, £8 children) Leave a Comment Directions: Boats depart from Marina Bay

The Bay of Gibraltar has one of the highest concentrations of dolphins in the Mediterranean and there are a number of companies running trips out to see them, I used Dolphin World. Best time is November to January and be aware that the boats tend to go into dry dock during February or March for maintenance. The cost is about £20/£25, either pick up a leaflet at one of the tourist places along Main St. or take a stroll down to Marina Bay and check out prices and times.

"Spacious, modern, strong, fast, stable, gentle, secure, comfortable. to go further and quicker to the Straits! Full commentary on-board about dolphins' behaviour and habits.
* 35 years of dolphin show!
* Limited number of passengers (like a private boat)
* Extravagantly better and more fun!
ATTENTION - IMPORTANT
In La Linea, on the Spanish side of the border, you may see signs for "Dolphin Safari" which is nothing to do with us but a different operation who decided to call themselves the same name as us for some reason (probably because of our excellent reputation for over 35 years). It obviously causes confusion...so. make sure that you are heading to cross the frontier and actually enter Gibraltar where we are and don't get hijacked by anybody! Our boat is called 'Goldfin'.
Our brand new 40 foot twin engined power launch, especially designed for the job - watch dolphins or whales with enjoyment- It's the absolute tops in terms of efficiency, fun and excitement as we cruise off to find our friends as quickly as we need thus giving maximum dolphin or whale watching time, contrary to others so slow that even the underwater glass viewing concept is a source of disappointment.
If you wanted to come with us and an agent has booked you with another company ASK for your money back as they have sold you a product you didn't want. We are not a tourist trap of a large quantity turnover but an eco-system friendly type personal experience wanting better quality of fun and offering you the new and very latest"

Wednesday - MARBELLA and PUERTO BANUS
Pick up time from your hotel is at 09.00hrs, returning to Gibraltar at around 18.30hrs. Please do not forget to bring your passport and remember that the local currency in Spain is Euros.
You will be driven by our experienced driver/guide on a comfortable air-conditioned coach to visit two of Adalucia's most popular destinations, Marbella and the Banus Marina, where rich and famous celebrities, filmstars and royalty frequent all year round, transforming this once quiet fishing village into an oasis in the 'Costa del Sol', winning both national and international prizes for its cleanliness and security.
Once in Marbella, you will be given free time to explore the elegant streets of its old town, have lunch at any of its typical Spanish restaurants and possibly do a bit of shopping at your leisure.
At 15.30hrs, we will depart Marbella and make our way to 'Puerto Banus' which is the most glamorous marina on the entire coast, giving you free time to walk past some of the most amazing yachts and cars that congregate in this marina from all over the world. Its narrow streets offer a wide selection of shops and romance, a must for all. Princess Grace from Monaco inaugurated this magical marina in the early 1970's.
At 17.00hrs, we return to the coach and make our way back to Gibraltar, passing along more breathtaking scenery and views, returning to your hotel at around 18.00hrs.

Every Tuesday and Thursday - TANGIER
Pick up time is at 07.15hrs with an estimated arrival time back in Gibraltar at around 18.30hrs. You will need your passport and can use either Euro or Sterling currency in Tangier, as well as the local currency which is the Dirham.
You will be driven by our experienced driver on a comfortable air-conditioned coach to the Spanish port of Algeciras where you will board a ferry destined for the African city of Tangier, across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Upon arriving in the Moroccan port of Tangier, you will be met by a local tour guide and then board a comfortable air-conditioned coach and given a panoramic tour around the old town and its two emblematic markets, known as the Grand Soccoo and the Petit Socco.
Lunch is in a typical Arab restaurant and the cuisine is a real treat to savour all the flavours of this enchanting country.
After lunch you will continue the city tour around the old town, escorted at all times by your local guide. Shopping here is quite cheap and you can buy pretty much anything you want, but please be careful of what you buy as some products can not be exported back into Spain later, so it's always worthwhile to check this with your guide who will be more than happy to assist you. After this pleasant walk, you will once again board the coach and be driven back to the port, passing captivating scenic views along the way.
The ferry crossing back to the Spanish port is also very romantic, as dolphins swim close to the Kiel of the ferry and even whales can be seen in the distance, with the Rock of Gibraltar standing graciously in the background, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar.
When arriving at the port you will then board the awaiting air-conditioned coach that will then return you back to your hotel in Gibraltar.
