Along our Algarve Coast we have the Atlantic Ocean, where we can get away from Human life and discover the Wildlife. We have the privilege of being able to observe dolphins and observe seabirds. The tour will last 2h30, starting at 8h30 with the crossing of the Ria Formosa channels to Cabo de Santa Maria, which is described by the junction of the Waters. We sail in the Ocean to discover Dolphins and other similar species. Then we return to the Ria Formosa Natural Park towards the place of departure with a completely different view, as the beauty of the Ria Formosa changes according to the tides!
Dolphin Watching from Faro lasts about 2h 30min.

Cela a été un plaisir de vous avoir sur notre bateau... Revenez et amenez un ami!
We were on the way back and had not seen any dolphins when the guide told us there was a family with a baby. And indeed, we were able to see them. Superbe

We were very disappointed with this excursion. We had booked for a walk for 2h30 to see the dolphins, and we were mixed with a group that was also visiting the 2 islands. So the trip turned out to be much longer than expected, especially with a 5-year-old... The crew forgot 2 customers on the 2nd island, which forced us to turn around before Faro, and lost us another 15 minutes.
la visite a été faite avec moi, vous devez être heureux car vous avez vu beaucoup de dauphins et deux baleines. Oui, c'est vrai. Il y avait un enfant avec nous et ses parents qui nous ont même remerciés pour l'excursion, qui était merveilleuse.
The biologists told us lots of cool facts and stories, the boat was fun, and the dolphins were mesmerizing! We didn't see any animals for the first hour but they warned us that was possible and when we did they were so good.
Your satisfaction is our reward. It was a pleasure having you on our boat... Come back and bring a friend! Thanks Cristela Martins ( The Green Team)
It was a great experience. Pedro and Adolfo have welcomed us very enthusiastically. They do their job very passionately! We saw a lot of dolphins and some whales.

This was a fun tour. Unfortunately we didn’t see dolphins but seeing the two islands made it worth it. It was a very enjoyable experience and showed another facet of beautiful faro.
NO dolphins, the boat trip was good, but we travelled for over an hour at sea to see no dolphins. As we came back in the guy said the dolphins were shy today, then when we got back to disembark he just got off at another boat and didn’t say anything not even goodbye and left us with the boat driver to return us to the pier. Very unprofessional. Nature is nature but to just get off and not say anything was rude.
TODAY was a special day. We boarded a CATAMARAN. The commander. There was a very special boy called Ivan. Great guy with his explanations along the way. Thank you 👍 👍 👍
Su satisfacción es nuestra recompensa. Fue un placer tenerte en nuestro barco... ¡Vuelve y trae a un amigo! Gracias Cristela Martín (El equipo verde)
