Description
• This business is owned and operated by a marine biologist, researching these dolphins for 17 years. • Last time we failed to see dolphins or whales on an ocean tour was on Jan 2023. • We will look for the best dolphin group, not just the closest dolphin group. • We have the smallest group (10pax) dolphin experience. No middle row, everyone can be at an arm’s reach from them. The guide will satisfy all your curiosity, he’s a dolphin expert! (cetologist) • We don't lecture about the subjects, we lead you to the answers you seek. • We are only focused on dolphin watching and research. You will be supporting research of the local dolphin communities. • The boat is made from recyclable materials and has the lowest emissions of all dolphin watching boats in Lisbon. • Up to 40 miles and 3h of search included if needed. • We are the first licensed dolphin watching agency in Lisbon, the original one!

A great experience. Well worth the money. You will get wet, and cold. You will learn about the different dophins. Waterproof windbreaks are supplied if needed. It can be hard on your backside. 3 days later and still sore. Highly recommended experience.
You will not be disappointed. Dolphins aplenty.
We had the best time on the Lisbon Dolphins tour. We saw a huge pod of common dolphins and spent time watching and learning about them. Highly recommend if you are in Lisbon!
Super cool dolphin tour!! We first had to search for about an hour, when we found them more than 100 dolphins swam next to the boat. A super cool experience!
Great experience, you should do this when you are in Lisbon and have the time. You go out to sea in a boat under the guidance of super motivated marine biologist! Nice piece of boating and encountered several dolphin groups! They get very close to the boat and you get a lot of interesting explanations. Really an absolute must!!
We had booked two tours. Both were absolutely fantastic. A small, very personal Enterprise. Francisco is there with passion and takes a hell of a lot of time. He finds all the animals that are somewhere nearby. We had 5 different marine mammals including fin whales on a tour. The dolphins were each in large numbers around the boat and you didn't even know where to look anymore. The Zodiac offers 12 seats and you can book the desired row of seats. So there is no stress on site with the choice of place. A magical experience. We will come back!
A thoroughly enjoyable, exciting and informative trip. We saw plenty of dolphins and seabirds in the 3 hours spent on the water. You need to be steady on your feet to get on and off the boat and be able to sit astride the seat for the duration. Francisco knows his stuff and shared lots of information. One member of the party was a bit seasick and there were no bags on board which was a little embarrassing for her.
I am an 11-year-old kid. This was a very fun dolphin cruise, and we saw 3 pods of common dolphins, 60-70 individuals in total. We also saw 2 harbor porpoises, which are extremely rare and endangered. I definitely recommend. I also like bird watching and I saw 3 new species, with the captains help identifying.
Nice and knowledgeable hosts who involved us in looking for and identifying dolphins. We saw two species, two pods of which came REALLY close to the boat and were playful and adorable.
It was a great experience that I can recommend to everyone! Small group, explanation and we have seen so many dolphins. Our dog was also welcome, which was a bonus for us. This allowed us all to come along!
