The Experience

“You’re sure we’ll see them?” I whispered, still half-asleep as we shuffled onto the boat in Puerto Pollensa. Our guide — I think his name was Toni — just grinned and pointed out toward the dark line of Formentor on the horizon. It was barely light, that weird blue before sunrise, and honestly I was more focused on the salty smell clinging to my jacket than anything else. But then someone shouted — not loud, just this surprised little “look!” — and suddenly there were dolphins, real ones, right there off the bow.

I’d seen videos before but it’s different when you’re actually out there, you know? The way they moved — almost like they were showing off for us — made everyone laugh. Even Toni cracked a smile (he seemed like he’d seen it a thousand times but still enjoyed it). The engine hummed quietly and sometimes all you could hear was water slapping against the hull and those quick bursts of breath from the dolphins. I tried to film it but mostly just ended up watching instead. My hands smelled like sunscreen and sea spray.

The whole thing felt kind of unreal, especially with that early light turning everything silver. There were families on board — one kid kept asking how dolphins sleep (Toni answered patiently in Spanish first, then English). Afterward, heading back toward Puerto Pollensa with coffee in hand (instant but somehow perfect), I caught myself thinking about how simple it all was: just a boat ride at dawn, some dolphins doing their thing, everyone quietly happy for a while. Still makes me smile when I remember it.
