Itinerary
Dolphin watching with Seafaris is a must-do activity for anyone visiting the Algarve. Seafaris was the first company in the Algarve to search for Dolphins in their natural habitat and our specialist team has over 25 years’ experience providing unforgettable day trips along the stunning coastline of Southern Portugal. Feel the thrill of the wind in your face as we glide across the glistening Atlantic Ocean in search of beautiful bottlenose and common dolphins or even other different spieces of Wild life, before we gently settle amongst the pods to watch them dance and play in their natural habitat. Our fully-certified skippers have an excellent knowledge of dolphin activity in the area, with sightings in over 95% of trips. Tours last approximately 90 minutes, and run throughout each day from Lagos. We recommend guests arrive at least 15 minutes before their departure time, and bring with them sun protection, water, and, of course, their camera!

Went with our 4 and 6 year old, the crew were very friendly and ensured the little one’s safety; seating them appropriately and preparing them for the amazing speed the boat goes! The crew were very professional and found a large number of beautiful dolphins for us to see. Highly recommend this tour!
The tour was super. We booked the early slot and were indeed lucky enough to see dolphins. Both guides were very nice. We can warmly recommend the tour.
It was a wonderful experience. We were there as a family. They made a great effort so that we could see the dolphins! Yes, it was a bit loud in the back of the boat, but the guide came back to us again and explained everything again for us! We would book it again! Highly recommended, even for small children.
Saw dolphins, good facts and nice staff
We loved the experience with the Seafaris! The staff was extremely friendly and professional. We were lucky to see dolphins in their natural habitat, which made the experience even more special and unforgettable for adults and children! We highly recommend visiting the Algarve. Definitely an experience to repeat!
We didn’t sow any dolphins but it didn’t matter much, fantastic boat trip in pretty high waves made the trip a real roller coaster ride which everyone in the family thought was super fun. Thanks to a skilled captain, it never felt scary.
We had so much fun on our tour! We chose to book ours in the morning for a better chance of seeing dolphins, and there were plenty of them! Even got to see two mamas feeding their babies. Our tour guides were awesome, and were very knowledgeable!
We had a great boat trip and luckily spotted dolphins. Instructors were great! Really cool trip! Good price! Would book it again at Seafaris!
Very beautiful experience. We had already gone to see the dolphins with this company in 2012 and in 2013, so it was only natural to return to them this year (2026) given the quality of the service and the explanations provided by the guides (not in French, though). They show a lot of respect for the dolphins and do not force contact. Each time we arrived before the boats from other companies, which made the experience more intimate. It is the dolphins who decide to come. We came in May (2012), July (2013), and June (2026), and if you want to see babies, I really recommend May/June. It was a first for my sister-in-law and our 4-year-old son, and they had stars in their eyes and in their hearts. In short, if we return to Portugal, it is obviously with Seafaris that we will go to see the dolphins again.
Amazing tour with amazing guides Ana and André!! Hundreds of dolphins
