Itinerary

Explore the Atlantic in search of marine wildlife with Marine Biologists on board, and learn more about dolphins in their natural habitat. Discover different species of cetaceans, birds and other marine life in an exciting experience in the Algarve ! Departing from Faro, you will be able to enjoy the landscape of Ria Formosa Natural park while we cruise towards the Atlantic ocean. When outside, the guides will look out for different wildlife, specially for cetaceans! There are great chances to see dolphins like the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) or the Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and if your are lucky we can even spot Orcas or whales. During this trip you will also be able to spot different species of marine birds like the Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus), Shearwaters and Storm Petrels! It is also common to see some other animals such as the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and some species of sharks or marine turtles. After spotting a group of cetaceans, our team of Marine biologists will provide information about the animals and also collect data for research before we head back to Faro.

High waves adrenaline ride

Published on Dec, 2024

We rode with wind and high waves, it was hard core fun with a rollercoaster vibe. Both of my kids threw up but we saw dolphins so it was a success story. The marine biologists were very knowledgable and nice, contolling everything with grace.

Amazing experience, once again thank you for the whole team at Ocean Vibes for 3 amazing trips last week. We saw common dolphins, bottle nose dolphins, porpoise and sunfish and countless seabirds. They are all very knowledgeable and make the whole experience perfect. Can`t wait to return. Don`t miss this trip if you are in Faro.

Do it!!

Amazing experience with very experienced guides. Pic does not do it justice , we had very close encounters with both bottlenose and common dolphins. All captured on video and will be etched in my memory forever. Thank you such an awesome trip with people passionate and who care for their welfare.
