Great trip - Fascinating tour with excellent guide " Jeremy" The tour itself was really interesting, the stop off at culatra just about the right time. My wife has mobility issues - Jeremy was extremely helpful, cautious and caring.. Could not recommend this guide enough.

Dolphins make you happy!! - The thing with a dolphin sight seeing trip is that a happy boat is one where you see dolphins. And we were a very happy boat. Loads of dolphins. Aside from that, the boat was clean, the crew were friendly and informative. Really enjoyed it.

Worth every cent - What an EXCELLENT trip this was. We got to get up close to so many dolphins who swam around and jumped around the boat. Our skipper Marco was INCREDIBLE and really went out of his way to make i an enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!

Great experience viewing sea creatures and a beautiful boat ride! - Lovely boat ride and snorkeling experience. Our guide was terrific, helping us find two different seahorse species, as well as octopus and sea stars. I would definitely do this again.

Great 2 hour boat tour. - We did the 2 hour south east tour with a stop on ilha da Armona. Bruno our skipper for the trip was superb, giving us information about the wildlife as we made our way to Armona. He pointed out many things along the way and was happy to answer anything we asked. The weather for our trip was poor with rain for most of it, but Bruno kept us entertained with his knowledge of the area to the point that we didn't care about the rain. The stop on Armona was very pleasant and gave us time for a quick coffee, which would have been a beer on a sunny day, and a brief look around. All in all an enjoyable experience thanks to Bruno.

magic show - Very nice sea excursion to observe dolphins. After 45 minutes on the boat, the encounter with dozens of dolphins was a magical spectacle. They were everywhere and right next to our boat.

Beautiful boat trip with nice stops. Nice crew. - Good boat, with a maximum of 20 people on it. A helmsman and a guide/sailor Jaouo, who did not explain too long and liked a joke. Beautiful trip, lasted from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM with a half-hour stop at Ilha da Culatra, where we ate delicious fish, later a half-hour stop at Praya da Armona.

Cavalos Marinhos Ria Formosa - It was a very beautiful walk to be able to rest and be in contact with nature. By the time we were able to see only the sea horses in the deepest zone, but we were able to see still a good amount. I highly recommend :)

It is not worth it - Not worth the money, like a ferry to the island and back with a half hour stop, which isn't even long enough for a coffee. From Olhao you can take the ferry for 4 euros!!
