Dolphin spotting. - Great value for money. Saw 3 pods of dolphins. The guides were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and what we could see in the coast. Highly recommend especially for families. Life vests provided for all.

Dolphin spotting at Sebutol, Portugal. - This trip was well worth the money. The boat was really cool with seats you sit astride which gave a feeling of being very secure. There was only space for around 16 people so it felt very exclusive. It’s a fast boat so a lot of fun as we headed out to where the dolphins were. We were able to manoeuvre very well, compared to the bigger boats out there. We saw 3 lots of dolphins in different areas, including some baby ones. We also were taken really close into shore to see the natural rock formations and caves. And some beautiful beaches. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the dolphins and the area, pointing out lots along the coast. Their English was really good too. It was too chilly to swim but we didn’t feel that detracted at all. Highly recommend especially for families. Life jackets were also provided for all.
