Wonder time. We managed to see three types of Dolphins whilst on our trip. We loved every minute of it.





Embark on an unforgettable experience and explore the Atlantic Ocean in search of Cetaceans. Enjoy wonderful interactions with dolphins, such as Tursiops truncatus, Delphinus delphis, or even Orcas Orcinus orca and whales, as well as the rest of marine life. Watching cetaceans in Portugal is a regulated activity. So, know that all behaviors and rules are for the safety and well-being of animals and people aboard. Learn more about the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a saltwater estuary that functions as a maternity and natural habitat for a wide variety of species of fauna and flora, as we head out to the sea in search of the animals. The experience will be guided by me, Skipper Pudim. Local fisherman, from a family of Faro fishermen. With a whole life spent at sea and in Ria Formosa. Passionate about wildlife in general and Ria Formosa in particular. Create memories of a lifetime.

Wonder time. We managed to see three types of Dolphins whilst on our trip. We loved every minute of it.
I loved it, small group, friendly and funny captain, who truly does know the waters like a palm of his hand, knowelagabel but the best part was sometging what I would describe as one of the most beautiful experiences of my life- to see dolphins in their natural inhabitant, I think I fall in love with them, this meeting was kidnd of enlighment;) for that I am grateteful to their Creator, I would love to see them again!
Bad experience for us. We booked a slot for a tour with the family and the evening before we were informed the time had to change to earlier as other people could not make it at the agreed time. We had to cancel and got refunded but a very negative experience and strange that the people that came later were preferred against us.
We had a fantastic morning with those two men on the boat. They reassured us, check in regularly how it went. Knew a lot of information to tell and really had a nose for the dolphins to find and really a heart for the animals and nature!! It was really beautiful and as icing on the cake I also saw a baby dolphin of a few days old. Definitely recommended!!
We loved it. Very respectful of the environment and the dolphins. An incredible experience. Nuno and Miguel were very kind and professional.
Great tour. Pudim explained and showed us a lot. We have seen dolphins, flamingos and puffins. Warm clothing is a must as the wind on the sea is not without.
Very positive experience. Experienced guide, organized and helpful with children. Great Italian, congratulations!
Amazing experience. We were very lucky and saw many dolphins, they came to swim next to us, also sunfish at a distance. Nuno and his team convey passion and respect for the sea and its inhabitants. Fully recommended.
Professional guide and cozy boat, took a lot of great pictures. The dolphins were very cute and worth the boat trip. There is also professional knowledge sharing
Thank you so much, Jasmine. It was indeed a huge pleasure having you aboard and spend time with the dolphins. Hope you left with unforgettable memories of our trip. Best regards.
Nuno was a complete professional and very friendly and knowledgeable. We went on a morning dolphin tour from Faro Marina through the beautiful channels out to sea. I chose this trip because of Nuno's apparent love and respect for the ocean and the creatures in it, which shone through the whole trip. Nuno didn't go too close to the dolphins, he let them come to the boat and it was such a fabulous sight. I've done the trips from other marinas in the Algarve where this respect is clearly not present, so I'd recommend anyone takes this trip with Nuno. Nuno also gave good advice on how to avoid sea sickness and when I mentioned I had a back problem he positioned me in the best location on the boat to prevent issues, which absolutely worked and I left the trip happy and pain free!
Thank you so much. It was indeed a huge pleasure having you onboard and spend time with the dolphins. Hope you left with unforgettable memories of our trip Kind regards
