Beautiful holiday experience ... - It was a wonderful trip with a friendly crew and only 4 guests in total. Dolphins are guaranteed and the way back leads along the western coast. Definitely highly recommended !

Unforgettable family experience! - We all loved this trip! It was magical, amazing, we saw a lot of dolphins swimming around the boat, jumping and following us! A fabulous show! And the highlight was the discovery of a great whale that even jumped! Inoubliable... Pedro and Rosa are really super friendly, give good explanations, we then go back along the coast which is very beautiful. The little tasting of Moscatel was very nice too! Thank you! I recommend 100%! Not to be missed if you are in the area or even if you are further away, it is worth the trip 😊

It was spectacular we found 2 groups with about 40 dolphins shortly after we started the tour!!!! We also liked very much at the end of the visit the coast of Sesimbra with the clear waters and hidden beaches. Very appreciated this experience and I recommend!!!

So many dolphins in their natural habitat! - We were thrilled with our experience. The guides were very good. Knowledgeable, clear, organized. We saw so many dolphins! We loved that the tour operators are very conscious to not interfere with the dolphin’s natural environment and behaviors. Despite some choppy waves, the boat ride was fine. We also enjoyed the close-up tour of the epic rocky cliffs and caves. We saw both common and bottlenose dolphins! The experience exceeded our expectations.

Amazing!!!!! - What a super experience!!!!! Definitely recommended. We have seen an incredible number of dolphins. The skipper was super focused and whenever he thought there was something to see in a place he sent the super fast boat that way. And he was always right. The lady on board knew all about all the species we saw and their activities. Then did some sightseeing on the way back, still be able to swim and ended with some nice tricks with the boat. 3 full hours of entertainment.

Great Dolphin Experience - Amazing boat ride, dolphins galore! We had them swimming alongside us and could even hear them clicking. Our guide was very informative and was giving the same great experience for the multiple different languages spoken on the boat, mainly french and English for our group. The trip was topped off by visiting some lovely sesimbra sites and caves as well as us having a dip at Ribeiro de Cavalho. I would highly recommend!
