What a day!

Fantastic experience! Well organised, safe and professional. Guide could communicate in English and other languages fluently. He is a local business man and knew a great deal about local history. Over all, a great day put. We saw lots of dolphins up close.

Once in a lifetime experience

The tour was nothing less than amazing! We saw dolphins almost immediately and spent hours surrounded by them. Seeing them so close in their natural environment was truly unforgettable. We also got to see the coast from the sea and reach the western point of Europe! Diogo and Xavier were fantastic: funny, knowledgeable and professional. They took great care of us and shared lots of interesting facts about the dolphins, Cascais and marine life. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Don’t miss it for any reason! 🐬

Unforgettable!

What an amazing, unforgettable trip! Rui and the team are incredibly knowledgeable about dolphins and other marine life. They obviously love their job and their enthusiasm is infectious. They were able to find and quietly approach a couple of different dolphin pods. Their sensitive approach towards these animals also meant the dolphins were happy to play around the boat for a long time. We would highly recommend this trip!

Fantastic experience!! Highly recommend

This was such an amazing, heartfelt experience with the chance to see a pod of 40 dolphins. The tour guides knew the perfect spots and answered all our questions. What an incredible time it was, the dolphins really play up to the people so you can get lots of pictures and videos where they are jumping out of the water and swimming right by the boat. 10/10 experience would highly recommend.

Operator response

Very nice

We found the dolphins very quickly, then we went further out where the waters are clearer and they could be seen better. The guide was very kind, he kept telling us details about the dolphins and the area.

Operator response
