Disappointing no dolphins

Confusing meeting instructions- our confirmation email said 8am at the tour operator stand but there was nobody there, and after calling the company a guy appeared who looked a bit annoyed with us hurried us to the boat which was already full of people so I'm not sure what happened there. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins (or birds other than gulls) and had a quite bumpy 1.5 hr boat ride. Disappointing but obviously not anyone's fault there were no dolphins..am sceptical about their claim of 9/10 boat trips see dolphins though..

Extremely rude and unprofessional driver

Very disappointing experience. We were 12 people, including 9 children, and waited over an hour in the heat because we were told to wait for the next boat so we could all go together. Suddenly, a young, strong-built, bearded driver allowed another woman with a child to board and told us we had to split up. When we tried to explain the situation, he became extremely aggressive and threatened not to take us. He even told us not to bother “his customers” — as if we weren’t customers too. Completely unprofessional and lacking any empathy or basic consideration. A very unpleasant experience.

Operator response

Lamentamos profundamente a situação relatada e a falta de profissionalismo e empatia. A atitude do colaborador descrita não reflete de todo os nossos padrões de atendimento. Pedimos sinceras desculpas pelo tempo de espera e por toda a frustração causada ao seu grupo. Iremos identificar a equipa e tomar as devidas medidas disciplinares para que isto não volte a acontecer.

A fantastic day at sea, with dolphins and an excellent crew!

It was a simply fantastic experience! We had the opportunity to see the dolphins and it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our day. 🐬🌊 The whole team was excellent, very friendly, professional, and always very attentive to the clients. It is noted that they do this work with enjoyment and concern to provide a pleasant and unforgettable experience. It was an excellent trip, in a relaxed and very well-organized environment. We left there very satisfied and with great memories. I highly recommend it! If you are in the Algarve and have the opportunity, do not hesitate to take this tour of Fuzeta. It's really worth it! 👌🐬

Horrible.

Run away! Scam! No dolphin! After an hour, we turned around. A priori, it is very rare to see dolphins according to the locals who tried the experiment. There were 12, paying almost 450 euros to see waves and seagulls is shameful.

Dolphins

Another great experience, we saw a very large group of dolphins, with several babies, it was very pleasant. Any questions, the guides clarified. It was our 2x and there will be a third.

Rip off

The weather was not ideal for dolphin watching and the tour operators knew it but did not let us know until halfway through the tour. We were wet and cold and he tells us no dolphins because of the choppy waters. They purposely drove very fast and splashed water on us. We were cold and shivering. They could have told us before going out that the weather was not ideal refunded our money and cancel and tour rather than get us wet. Many on the boat were older adults and there were 2 kids that should not have been exposed to wet and cold conditions.

Just as we gave up...

Lovely trip with friendly crew. We enjoyed just being out on the water and had given up on seeing the dolphins. We turned back and just as we had given up we saw them! 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely fantastic

We had a wonderful cruise. We were able to see lots of dolphins, this boat trip was also very interesting thanks to Raphael, our guide, who gave us lots of explanation, switching easily from Portuguese to English. Thanks also to Pedro who very skillfully operated the boat. We highly recommend this trip.
