Great for families

Published on Sep, 2024

Really loved the trip to see the dolphins, we were lucky and had lots of sightings. The kids enjoyed the speedy ride out, the boat was perfect for them to walk around but also see over the edge (ages 5 and 8). The whole trip lasted just under 2 hours which was perfect as it was a hot day!

Amazing experience with a knowledgeable crew

Published on Jul, 2024

Great experience with a very good team. Prior to going we did expect the risk of not seeing any dolphins but wow what an experience. The boat is big and very well run by an excellent crew that kept us up to date throughout. We had the great experience of seeing a few different pods of dolphins very close to the boat and captured some great pictures. Overall a really well run trip with an expand genuinely knowledgeable crew. Cant recommend the company or trip enough.

Incredible experience

Published on Jul, 2024

We've been visiting the Algarve for many years but have never been on a boat trip in search of dolphins. We were blown away by the experience. We were lucky enough to see so many dolphins (and even a baby shark). It was like the dolphins were doing a personal display for us as they leaped out of the water and performed other tricks, but in their own environment. The boat was lovely with a full bar and snacks, and the staff were simply brilliant. Very warm and knowledgeable. Will definitely do again.

Dolphin spotting Vilamoura

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a very successful trip. The boat was clean, comfortable plus has bar and toilet facilities. The crew were professional, attentive, friendly and informative. Great fun and seeing the Dolphins was amazing.

Best Dolphin boat trip

Published on May, 2024

Absolutely brilliant boat trip. The crew were so friendly and knowledgeable about the dolphins and the area of coastline.we were thrilled to see three groups separately of Dolphins . Would 100% recommend this trip .
