Resident common and bottlenose dolphins are spotted on the vast majority of trips, often swimming directly alongside the boat. On a good day, pods of up to 200 can surround you entirely. Occasionally guests also spot turtles, sunfish, pilot whales and shoals of bright blue flying fish being chased by dolphins. For many younger guests, it becomes the highlight of the entire holiday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eFrom the marina, it's a short 10-minute walk to Gibraltar's only craft studio with its own kiln — a genuinely local, independent business tucked inside the ICC building beside Casemates Square. Choose from a range of Gibraltar-inspired ceramic models — the Rock, local landmarks, characters — and paint it your own way, at your own pace. No experience needed. The studio was set up by a local who couldn't find quality craft supplies in Gibraltar, and has since become one of the Rock's most loved creative spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"body\"\u003eChoose a same-day painted finish if you're visiting briefly — perfect for day-trippers and cruise guests.
