Enjoyed seeing the dolphins. Also had a fun time on the boat!

We were picked up on time, but had to walk about 7-8 minutes to the boat, which might be a bit strenuous for people who can't walk very well. The trip was super relaxed, you really see a lot of Lisbon, especially the difference between "old" and "new". If you don't want to go to the south of Lisbon, you can also see the Cristo Rei (Jesus statue) very well from the boat and you can drive under the bridge. What I found a bit unfortunate was that we only stopped the boat for about 10 minutes to look for the dolphins, as the journey to the beginning of the sea was quite long. But as I said, you can see a lot of Lisbon.

Nice trip, with beautiful views of Lisbon. The chance of spotting dolphins seems very small to me on this trip. You sail through the river and at the transition to the ocean you almost immediately turn around, so we did not see any dolphins. Do you want to see dolphins? Book a speedboat tour. Do you want to see Lisbon and the surrounding area from the water? Book this tour! Definitely recommended.

everything was well organised. the meeting point and the whole experience in general. the beer and sangria was EXCELLENT!! The staff were friendly and professional (max 2 people outside at the front of the boat for example) would have been great to see dolphins but again we know they are wild animals so there is no guarantee. we appreciate the effort that the crew made to try and find them for us. overall, it's an activity that we would do again.

Tour did exactly what it said it would. We saw dolphins and went around and saw Lisbon from the water. However i will say there is room for improvement. The tour guide can be a bit more engaged with the crowd also the sound wasn’t always great to hear what they were saying. But o really got exactly what we were promised

Do not do in winter as there is little chance of seeing dolphins at this time. According to the guide they can be seen from April during the breeding period because they come closer.

We loved this boat trip and when we got there they told us it was a speedboat (which was excellent for us!) it was a very fun bouncy boat and we saw lots of dolphins, excellent value for money!
