So many dolphins in their natural habitat!

Published on Sep, 2024

We were thrilled with our experience. The guides were very good. Knowledgeable, clear, organized. We saw so many dolphins! We loved that the tour operators are very conscious to not interfere with the dolphin’s natural environment and behaviors. Despite some choppy waves, the boat ride was fine. We also enjoyed the close-up tour of the epic rocky cliffs and caves. We saw both common and bottlenose dolphins! The experience exceeded our expectations.

Great experience. We saw...

Great Dolphin Experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Amazing boat ride, dolphins galore! We had them swimming alongside us and could even hear them clicking. Our guide was very informative and was giving the same great experience for the multiple different languages spoken on the boat, mainly french and English for our group. The trip was topped off by visiting some lovely sesimbra sites and caves as well as us having a dip at Ribeiro de Cavalho. I would highly recommend!
