It was an extremely nice experience! Biologist Vanessa is super nice and told us a lot of interesting facts about dolphins! Even my son, who normally gets bored quickly, had a great time and wasn’t bored at all! So I fully recommend this experience!

We had an incredible dolphin-watching tour in Lisbon! Inês and Francisco were amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took us to the perfect spots, and seeing dolphins up close was magical. The boat was comfortable, and their enthusiasm made the trip even better. It was a day we’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Inês and Francisco for making it such a special experience! Highly recommend this tour!

It was an amazing tour. The crew is often well-versed in the local marine life, providing fascinating information about the dolphins’ behaviors, habits, and the efforts to protect their environment. The atmosphere is relaxed, but the thrill of being so close to wild dolphins is undeniable. Definitely recommend.

We had a memorable dolphin-watching tour. The tour was well organized. From the moment we set out, the friendly and knowledgeable guide made the experience even more enjoyable with interesting facts about dolphins and their environment. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins during the trip, and watching them leap and play in the water was truly magical.

My Boyfriend Anil and I (Linnea) were yesterday at the dolphine tour. It was the BEST experience ever. For me it was a dream come true. The tour was great planned and the team is super nice. They knew all about the dolphines and the underwater life. Vanessa gave us a great introduction and knew all about it. All in all was it a perfect day and I would love to do it sometime again. 10/10 recommendation!!

I LOVED this activity! It did not disappoint. I read a lot of reviews before booking this tour and was very impressed that it said 95% of the time, dolphins and other wildlife were sighted. Our boat driver was Francesco, and he handled the boat carefully and had some fun with us while driving. Our marine biologist guide was Vanessa and she was full of great information. We were very lucky and got to see a few different pods of dolphins, with babies and mamas. We heard our boat communicating with others as to where the wildlife was and that made it much easier for our boat to find the dolphins in the wild. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to everyone if you are into marine life, and seeing animals in their natural habitat.

I had a fantastic trip. Sailing on the speedboat was an adventure in itself. Pretty soon we saw a group of mama dolphins with their young. The guide gave the animals space and did not want to stress them. In the meantime, he kept giving some information, asking if everything was in order and offering water for those who were thirsty. I recommend it to everyone, but it is wise not to eat too much or too little beforehand, some pieces of sailing go up and down quite quickly.

The welcome is very friendly with some explanations given by oceanographers on the most common species of dolphins in the region. The boats are recent and fast. The small tour towards the monuments of the city at the edge of the river (after having seen the dolphins for an hour!) gives a different view of this district. The team is cheerful and available to people. To do without hesitation!
