We were very happy to spot the dolphins :) my daughter was extremely excited to see the dolphins and their calves ! I was only slightly disappointed we didn’t get to go to open sea :) Will definitely be coming back :)

The guides were very friendly funny and knowledgeable. We felt like it was very good value for our money and afterwards we got to and have lunch on the pier right next door. They treated us to tea and pastel de nata afterwards and gave me coffee before and after. They also took us to see the belem tower and the other monuments in the area on the way back. We saw dolphins and a whale. It was a great day.

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.

"First of all: I highly recommend this tour! We saw dolphins. It was amazing! The guide and skipper were also great. The only thing that bothered me was the noise on the speedboat, which sounded like we were on a roller coaster. The tour operator could perhaps do something about this by slowing down a little when going over the waves. With different passengers, it might have been fine without all the screaming. If you don't want to be shaken around too much, it's best to sit at the back. CONCLUSION: Overall, highly recommended "

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!!

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.

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!
