Additional Information

Exploring and witnessing dolphins in their indigenous environment, where the scenery grants us extraordinary instances, in an area abundant in historic and natural legacy. Beyond the population of bottlenose dolphins, the Tróia peninsula and the Arrábida coast are home to beaches and tiny islands of pristine white sands, set against an occasionally turquoise blue sea, enticing one for a swim and can be savored during boat tours.

Location
Longitude - Formação e Turismo Náutico
Head to Rua Praia da Saúde nº 11-A , but the entrance is on the opposite side of the building, that is, the one facing the river. The boarding point is very close, just walk towards the river, crossing a field of palm trees, turn right and when you find a small bridge, that's it.

I recommend this to anyone who wants a simple but effective way to see dolphins in their natural environment. - This was exactly what was intended. Spotting dolphins and thanks to the expert crew we quickly found them and were able to follow them up close for a long time. Really 100% met expectations.

Excellent boat trip overlooking Arrábida with dolphin watching. - The boat trip is very pleasant and fun, with excellent views of the Serra da Arrábida. Dolphin watching lasts about half an hour. The boat is ideal for seeing dolphins up close and having an impressive experience. During the tour there are also other stops along the coast. The boat driver and guide are very friendly and helpful, always providing information about monuments and other points of interest visible during the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Dolphin Watching in Setùbal - We were very pleasantly welcomed by our 2 guides: the boat driver and the guide. WC service offered on arrival. We quickly encountered dolphins in Setùbal Bay but our guides didn't stop there! We sailed offshore until we found even more dolphins swimming beneath our boat. Magnificent experience! We were amazed! The advantages of this company: Sensations thanks to the power of the zodiac and a calmer guided tour at the end along the coast of the Arrabida natural park. Don't be afraid of getting wet but these guides have thought of everything, they lend capes for those who are more cautious. In short, the best! Don't hesitate!!! 😉

With cancellation due to longer time, we are left watching ships, but the bank account is not - The truth is that the visit was, to my great regret, canceled by the organizer that morning due to bad weather. As I went to Setúbal that day I could see that the company did it honestly, as I wouldn't have gone to the boat in such weather. My evaluation is, despite everything, positive: despite being a non-refundable trip, they maintained the condition of choosing another day or receiving the money back. As I was visiting the area and didn't have the time to do it another day, I canceled and had the pleasant surprise of being able to process the refund instead of waiting 5 days until the deadline for rescheduling a new date. Five stars! And I hope one day I can enjoy the experience.

Incredible Dolphin Watching - The best sighting of all the companies offered. They took us to other boats because they had detected a group of dolphins. But after a while they took us into the sea to see more groups and it was a delight, being alone with the dolphins next to us. Then they took us to see a cave and the beaches with an explanation of what was seen. I highly recommend them, they do not disappoint.

Very nice experience - It was a very nice dolphin observation, unfortunately they were not so keen to show themselves. We were still able to see and photograph two dolphins. On the way back we were able to see some beaches, sights and bays. It was a wonderful experience that neither of us will forget.
