Came for the dolphins, rescued the trash! - We did a morning tour and saw dolphins feeding, close enough they came to the side of the boat. Then we found a massive gyre of trash and stopped to remove it. It took both guides and several people on the tour to remove a ball of plastic trash. We were rewarded with a second sighting of dolphins after for cleaning up! Very nice boat, knowledgable guides!

Searching for Dolphins off the coast of Lisbon - Such wonderful informative and friendly individuals running this trip. The rib boat ride alone was an exciting experience and being surrounded by a pod of dolphins made it perfect. The relatively small size of the party (16) was more personal and it was lovely to chat with the crew before and after the trip to learn of their experiences. The weather was grey and misty and we were kindly offered jackets for the trip which were much appreciated.

Strongly recommend - The tour guide is a competent marine biologist. She spoke slowly and clearly, and used humor well. She was very patient, informative and interesting. The driver was warm and friendly, and we felt safe while he drove the speedboat. We saw dolphins and a sunfish, which was amazing. A ten out of ten experience that I'd strongly recommend. Well worth the money.

Amazing morning on the water - An amazing tour. Saw three types of dolphins and got right up close. Tour guides were amazing. Would highly recommend. On the way back into the city they stop briefly on the water at some of the sites in Belem to allow you take photos. Note: independent of the weather it’s chilly out on the water so definitely bring a long sleeved top. Also, its a little bumpy of a ride but nothing too bad, just make sure that you’re fit and ready for the trip.

Amazing adventure - The crew was so lovely, funny and professional. So many dolphins were swimming around us and even a whale in the distance. We've had the best staff ever, big thanks to them for this experience. Everything was perfect and totally worth it. Dziękujemy!

A magical experience! - We absolutely loved our trip out to see the dolphins! We were so lucky to see a super pod of dolphins, a mink whale, two porpoises and four sun fish. It was a magical outing and the team were so knowledgeable and friendly. Our kids (6 and 8) loved the whole thing - especially the speed boat ride!!

Dolphins Up Close and Breathtaking! - Incredible experience! The staff was very knowledgeable about the dolphins and their behaviors. We were fortunate enough to find a super-pod feeding. Would book again and highly recommend the Mercedes Benz Oceanic Team.
