Unforgettable Experience! - This dolphin watching tour was hands down one of the best experiences of my life! The crew was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about marine life — which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. We saw so many dolphins, and they were so close, it was just magical. If you're looking for a mix of adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, do not miss this tour. It was exciting, heartwarming, and absolutely worth every second. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Respectful guides, well worth it - We saw a lot of dolphins in a few different spots. the guides didnt feed the dolphins and kept a very respectful distance and looked for any signs that would indicate that the dolphins felt unhappy with us and directly left after that. the guides were friendly, knew a lot about what they were talking about and drove the boat very fun. would definitely recommend, 60.- is well worth it!

All-round experience and real adventure - We saw so many dolphins and even fin whales with newborns off the coast. The companions are all super nice, dedicated and make a great mood. ES was an all-round experience - on the way back we helped another boat in distress and collected plastic. ES only pays for sightseeing from the river and on the coast by speedboat. We will definitely come back!

Great trip - The staff were really friendly and loaned us jackets as it gets really cold in the wind! There isnt a bad seat on the boat so there’s no fighting over the view. We spotted dolphins (with babies!) within half an hour. We had no luck out as sea as conditions were too rough but this didn’t spoil our experience. We really enjoyed the speedboat experience as a bonus!

- This was one of my favorite things we did in Portugal, we saw so many dolphins (both common and bottlenose). Our guide never said "I don't know" to any question, he was so knowledgable and kind, and they are incredibly ethical and respectful to the sea life. I highly recommend!

Amazing - A really great experience, we saw a group of dolphins with baby dolphins. Unfortunately, the sea was a bit agitated that day, so we found no more outside. We recommend to be a bit flexible, if the weather is bad, you get a message that you can do the tour at a later date. Great communication and really lovely people, gladly again.

Fantastic trip - Really excellent trip. Very well organised and flexible (we booked for an afternoon but it was too windy, the team communicated with us in good time and booked us on to a morning trip). We saw dolphins in the river, including several babies. Really fantastic. We didn’t see any dolphins out to sea but the boat trip was fun anyway. A worthwhile excursion. We had quite a lot of cloud cover but if you go in full sun make sure you cover up. The sun is very strong and there is no shade on the boat.

Dolphins get very close - I didn't expect to be able to see the dolphins so close. They just came swimming and playing next to the boat. Definitely worth it!
