Amazing experience - We had an amazing experience with Capitao Nemo! We saw many dolphins and were so lucky to also see a whale! The captain extended our time at sea considering our lucky encounter. The team was great and friendly and provided good explanation during the activity. We recommend it 100%

Unforgettable - We had an incredible experience on the dolphin watching and cave seeing boat tour. Our group consisted of four adults and a three-year-old, and it was perfect for all of us. The boat was an adapted rescue boat and felt extremely stable, our daughter even had a sleep on the way back! Captain Pedro and Biologist Ana were absolutely fantastic. They were both very approachable and happy to answer all of our questions, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere on board. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was magical, and the cave tour was breathtaking. We even managed to get a glimpse of a minke whale. We couldn't have asked for a better experience – highly recommend this company.

Happy family trip - Excellent trip with two teens - 14 & 15. We saw bottle nosed dolphins including a little baby! The guides are clearly very knowledgeable and are happy to talk and answer any questions. The tour is very respectful of the dolphins’ environment and wellbeing which we liked. Caves were awesome too. Definitely go do it

Awesome! - Amazing 😻 highlight of our trip. It’s a must to do when visiting Portimão. We’ve had a lot of fun on boat and it wasn’t for sure one of the boring guided tours- interactive and devoted to make the best memories ☀️🌊

Highly recommended - Great team and good communication in advance on site, so everything works (best to include the mobile number when booking) Dolphins were the absolute highlight. Very child friendly tour. Pleasant small boat (14 people) without feeling like standing in a crowd and being handled. A lot of time was taken to explain everything about the dolphins and rocks/caves.
