LOVELY personel, great experiece. - I booked this because of the glowing reviews, and it held up. We had a great day, very calm, we found porpoises and dolphins. We got the bus from Chiado, which was pretty easy in the end. The skipper and marine biologist were warm, welcoming, wonderful. A very personalised, friendly experience, they put everyone at their ease. Really impressive in terms of personalising the experience, letting people know what to expect, and general attitude, 10/10. The boat is safe and comfortable. It's really fun, too. We spent quite a long time going out to sea looking for dolphins, and trust them when they warn you it'll be cold - it is - our day was calm and sunny and it still got pretty chilly (we went in the afternoon, from 2-5. The seats are good, but after 3 hours, your bum gets numb, and legs tired from bracing - I definitely recommend (zooming over the water is great fun), but be prepared. I forgot suncream and got a little windburned, v much appreciated my scarf, but was very cold by the end. Wrap up! It's encouraging how in tune with the dolphins the business is - very careful of them, and respectful. A nice alternative to the zoo, which has captive dolphins in it - very glad to have done this instead! Good value, highly recommended.

An afternoon among dolphins - Extraordinary exit. We saw a first group of sleeping common dolphins that gently surfed around us then a second group a little further away. Thank you leonor for your professionalism and respect for wildlife! Thanks also to the very professional skipper! I recommend this outing without hesitation

Magical Experience with a 100 Dolphins! - One of the best experiences ever! We would have seen like a 100 dolphins. Couldn’t believe it was all so real. Thank you so much for organising this. They even stopped for a us to see the sunset, such a sweet and special gesture.

Great ride with lots of dolphins - We were a small group on the boat and saw many dolphins. My daughter had a small panic attack due to the waves and she was very lovingly cared for by the sea biologist. We were thus able to continue the journey and take many beautiful photos, as well as videos. Thank you very much for the loving care.

The best tour! - WOW! One of the best experiences that me and my husband have ever had… we were so lucky the day we went, we must have seen 100 dolphins, plus a rare sighting of a fin whale and harbour porpoise! As there were so many dolphins and the whale pushing the fish to the surface we also saw a show from the sea birds plunging into the water to eat the fish… not only were the guides were friendly and informative, there were so passionate and were as excited us as to witness this “national geographic moment”, the guide’s words. As were so seeing so much wildlife the guide checked with us whether we would be happy to stay out longer and got to witness a beautiful sun set, accompanied by a glass of alcohol. Magic. I would 100% recommend this company to others.
