You must do this trip! - We had the most amazing trip! The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English, French and Portuguese. We saw not only the local dolphin pods but also other ocean dolphins as well as caves, beaches and the beautiful coastline. At one point the dolphins swam right up to us and under boat-breathtaking! We talked about the trip for the rest of the day, but the experience will stay with us forever. Thank you so much!

Great boat trip to see dolphins - Dolphins seen but fortunately with attention to the welfare of the animals. Then a little tour along the coast. Occasionally nice and fast over the water but felt absolutely safe.

Dolphin watching and the Setubal coastline - It was a fantastic boat trip where we could admire the dolphins up close. Then we went along the coastline and did some swimming on a sandbank. The skipper knew a lot to tell. We highly recommend this trip.

Tight seating - A delightful tour enjoying the dolphins and the coastline around Setubal. The watercraft har a double row of saddle type seats which were quite snug and can be uncomfortable if you are unaccustomed to sitting in one tight spot for three hours. We signed up for a tour in English, which devolved into a guide who talked with French and English speakers; the main guide spoke only Portuguese. Absolutely beautiful caves and rock formations along the coast! Lots of dolphins entertained us.!
