Feathers & Scales

Very informative and educational, we all enjoyed the experience. Felt safe throughout. Travelled a good distance from the land out to sea then a good distance down the coast. The guides were experienced as to where the dolphins and whale were, unfortunately we didn't get to see any whales on this occasion. Great communication as well. We also had issues getting to the venue as our taxi dropped us off to far away and the guide actually picked us up following exchanging messages. Fantastic tour would highly recommend. FYI - take a jumper/hoodie the breeze out to sea is very cool in the Atlantic when travelling at speed.

Vasco is passionate and respectful of marine life and it shows. He knows the spots that favor encounters. And after sailing through the banks of fog that filled the bay, what magic when the first dolphins appear! Then this pod of about a hundred individuals that we followed for a few minutes and which offered us a unique spectacle. Thanks again to Vasco for this rare experience. Special mention for the tasting of pasteis de nata offshore and the video of the trip. 😜

this tour was amazing. we were up close with dolphins multiple times as our host spoke of the history and nature of the area. worth every penny.

worth every penny. awesome experience seeing wildlife in the ocean

You understand very quickly why Vasco only has 5-star reviews: this excursion is exceptional! If you are still hesitating to book, hesitate no more. It is without a doubt one of the best activities we did in Lisbon. A huge thank you to Vasco, a passionate, funny, attentive guide who speaks French, English, and Portuguese. He takes the time to explain, answers all questions, and does everything so that everyone has an unforgettable time. We were lucky enough to see dozens of dolphins, many birds, and to enjoy magnificent landscapes. The icing on the cake: a tasting of delicious pastéis de nata on board. 🥹 Small tip: bring a jacket. And if you ever forget, don't panic, Vasco has raincoats available! Because otherwise, this little zodiac will give you a free blowout… 😂 Thanks again Vasco for this incredible experience. We would do this excursion with you again without hesitation. See you very soon!

This trip was unbelievable! Originally we were meant to do this earlier in the week however Vasco emailed us and let us know that the conditions were not going to be favourable that day and tried to get us to come another day on a day that would be better. He was absolutely right as it rained in Lisboa on the day we were meant to go and this would have been horrible at sea! We went today and honestly this was the best excursion I have ever done. The communication between myself and Vasco prior to the trip was top tier. Was very clear with the meeting point, what to wear, what to bring etc. The trip started with a sighting of dolphins on a hunt which was absolutely amazing but what was more amazing was Vasco knew just where to find them. There was no map, no plan, just a man that wanted to give his customers the absolute best experience. Once we had seen the first set of dolphins we moved into deeper waters where there was beautiful conditions but no dolphins sighted. We did however see two fishing boats that were bringing in their catches showing us some absolutely massive fish. Vasco was desperate to give his customers the best value for money and did everything he could to try and find more animals. We had a short break where we shared some of Portugals finest treats that Vasco had brought. Then out of nowhere there was a small blow of water in the air and the chase was on! Vasco was doing everything to give his customers the best experience and we saw a massive amount of dolphins but the icing on the cake was seeing 3 Bryde whales which were absolutely breathtaking. If you have the time I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone as the number 1 thing to do whilst in Lisboa. Vasco thank you again for making our trip to magical. Also to note Vasco spoke multiple languages which was really nice.

One of the most beautiful experiences I never had , we saw thousand of delfiins swimming around us , something that u can explain , the guide ( Vasco) an incredible person who really know the sea … would raccoment it 100/100 ,

Great experience, very nice guide who conveys his passion very well and who speaks Portuguese, French, and English equally well. Magnificent landscapes with many encounters with dolphins and others. It was a magical experience! A must-do!!

Experience simply amazing! We were welcomed with an exceptional sympathy and hospitality, which made everything even more special. A special thanks to the guide Vasco, who was fantastic from start to finish. It was always available to interact with all customers and made it possible to communicate with each in their own language, creating a very welcoming and inclusive environment.

What a fantastic and unforgettable experience this was! Even before booking the tour we had very nice contact with the captain, Vasco. He always kept us perfectly informed about the weather forecasts and the conditions at sea. A few days beforehand he informed us if the conditions were good enough to sail safely, which gave us a lot of confidence. Before departure, extensive attention was paid to safety and we were given professional equipment, so we could go out to sea with peace of mind. Vasco is a true expert: he talks with enormous passion and knowledge about the animals, nature and the impressive coast of Portugal. You can tell from everything that he does his job with love. The absolute highlight was of course seeing dozens of dolphins swimming right next to and even under the boat. It was a magical moment we will never forget. As an extra surprise, Vasco also made a beautiful video of our trip, so we can relive this special experience over and over again. Many thanks to Vasco and the skipper for this great, perfectly organized and unforgettable day. We recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique experience at sea. Definitely worth five stars!
