Description

You will observe a unique community of bottlenose dolphins, which have permanent residence in the Sado River estuary. This species is larger than the common dolphin and has a darker hue, close to anthracite gray. You can also observe common dolphins, which are smaller and extremely fast. Speaking of speed, our boat is quite fast, which is a big advantage when it comes to finding dolphins, which are wild animals that travel many nautical miles in a short time. Therefore, our success rate in finding these friendly mammals is around 100%. Furthermore, our boat, due to its characteristics, allows for very close observation of dolphins. This way, you'll be able to take fantastic photos and videos of the experience to share with your family and friends. Dolphins are wild and unpredictable animals. We will locate them in different locations, which makes this experience unique and unrepeatable.

Amazing experience

We were a family of 6, kids 13yr, 14yr and this was really an amazing experience. Glad we chose this instead of the boat. Your closer to the water and see so much more than you would in a boat.

Dolphins with love and fun

It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much to Inês who with his knowledge explained everything so well and to Mr. Victor for the way he took the walk and for the sympathy of both. We still had the bonus of going to the sandy island in front of Troy to take a dive.

Experience 5*

No words to describe the sympathy, professionalism and dedication. From the "Vitinha" man to the Inês guide, a 10* experience. They are professionals of excellence, a unique morning and not to forget. I honestly advise you to book with this operator. It is about making the trip in a semi-rigid, which makes the experience even better. In addition to the dolphins, they take care to show other valences of the mountain, including a pornum stop from those beaches only so accessible. In short, choose this operator and I guarantee you will not regret

Spectacular thrilling experience!

We had the most amazing experience on this tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was smooth and comfortable. Most importantly, we saw the most spectacular number of dolphins very close to our boat over a long period of time. It was truly a thrilling and a once in a lifetime experience. The guides told us it was very rare to see this number of dolphins (possibly 2,000 dolphins around us). I highly recommend this tour.
