Dolphin watching often involves sailing to deeper waters in search of pods, but this city-center cruise gives you the same benefits with less travel. Sail past key Lisbon landmarks such as Belem Tower and the MAAT museum as you make your way down the Tagus River to Cascais. Keep your eyes peeled for wild dolphins and listen to commentary from a marine biologist to learn more about these gentle creatures.

Overall it was a very beautiful experience. Our hosts Vanessa (marine biologist) and Joao (boat captain) were very professional. Vanessa took a lot of effort to explain everything and answer all our questions. She even gave the kids the opportunity to go to the front of the boat for a better view while taking care of their safety. It was very informative and opened up a new perspective for us. Our daughter was simply thrilled with this experience and we hope to be further inspired and do some whale watching next !

The tour guide is a competent marine biologist. She spoke slowly and clearly, and used humor well. She was very patient, informative and interesting. The driver was warm and friendly, and we felt safe while he drove the speedboat. We saw dolphins and a sunfish, which was amazing. A ten out of ten experience that I'd strongly recommend. Well worth the money.

"The activity was a lot of fun and at the same time informative. The marine biologist as well as our skipper were both extremely well informed and friendly. We were lucky and got to see porpoises, common dolphins as well as bottle nosed dolphins and the weather was lovely. Our teenage children wanted to repeat the activity immediately after instead spending time in the city :). This is a must do activity regardless of whether you are travelling alone, with friends or with family. Suitable for young children as well. Thank you for an amazing experience."

We did a morning tour and saw dolphins feeding, close enough they came to the side of the boat. Then we found a massive gyre of trash and stopped to remove it. It took both guides and several people on the tour to remove a ball of plastic trash. We were rewarded with a second sighting of dolphins after for cleaning up! Very nice boat, knowledgable guides!

"Absolutely amazing experience on the boat! Our guide, Ines was very knowledgeable and respectful of the dolphins. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different species. We saw so many dolphins and even got to see some up close. The experience was capped off by treats provided in the lounge. All the staff were super nice! "

Incredible experience! The staff was very knowledgeable about the dolphins and their behaviors. We were fortunate enough to find a super-pod feeding. Would book again and highly recommend the Mercedes Benz Oceanic Team.
