Details

Discover Lisbon from the Tagus River on a boat tour that blends historic views with a touch of nature. Departing from the city center, you’ll board a comfortable cruise and experience Lisbon from a new perspective as you glide across the calm waters. Along the way, enjoy clear views of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, from historic buildings to striking waterfront architecture — an ideal setting for photos away from the busy streets.

As the boat continues downriver, the scenery begins to change and the horizon opens toward the Tagus river mouth, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. Between May and October, dolphins are often seen in this area, making the warmer months a great time for wildlife spotting during the tour.

Sailing through this meeting point of river and ocean reveals parts of Lisbon’s coastline that can’t be seen from land. The wide horizon, ocean air, and open water create a peaceful atmosphere, whether you’re looking for a gentle adventure or simply time to unwind.

Throughout the trip, the crew shares interesting local insights in a relaxed and unobtrusive way, adding context without interrupting the experience.

On the return journey, you’ll pass the historic Belém district and its famous monuments, as well as Praça do Comércio, bringing the cruise to a memorable close with a mix of scenery, history, and navigation.

We were on a speed boat, it may be to do with the size of our group so there wasn’t an open bar. To be honest we were absolutely fine with that as we really enjoyed the speed boat experience. We did manage to see some dolphins a couple of times. We really enjoyed the experience!

We were on the speedboat so no open bar, but they provide coats and lifejackets, which was great! Bare in mind the ticket place does not open until 10am so wait outside the front of the white building til you can go in, and go to the toilet before as it costs money here - and you will be on the boat for 2+ hours! We saw big groups of dolphins within the first hour and followed them, and the guides were nice with explaining facts about them / Lisbon and gave us a tour of the key sights on the journey back. It was definitely good value for money - an amazing experience! Highly recommend to do.
