❤️ The most special birthday I could have had
A simply unforgettable experience! I have no words to describe how amazing this walk was. From the first moment we were received by Maria with a sympathy and an unusual professionalism, which made us feel completely at ease. This tour had an even more special meaning for me, because it was on my birthday and I am 7 months pregnant. Besides, I had a great fear of diving in the open sea and never thought I would get it. Thanks to Maria, with all her calmness, affection and support, I was able to overcome this fear and live one of the most striking moments of my life. I want to leave a very special thank you to Maria and also to Cristiano. Without them, this experience would not have been so special. The dedication, the good disposition and the way they accompanied us made all the difference. I highly recommend Mega Dive to anyone who wants to have a unique experience. It was a day that will forever be in our memory and we will definitely come back! Thank you so much for making my birthday even more unforgettable.

bottlenose dolphins and more
Within 20 minutes of the port, we were surrounded by a pod of over 20 common dolphins and some bottlenose dolphins leaping alongside the boat. The guide was knowledgeable, the sea was calm, and the whole experience was wonderful.

Most beautiful and just unforgettable experience
We had an 3 hours dolphin tour with Mega Dive in September. It was an extraordinary and fantastic experience. We were accompanied by a professional and extremely friendly team: Diogo, a marine biologist, and skipper Henrique. They were very dedicated, courteous and coordinated with each other to ensure their guests an unforgettable tour. Diogo, in particular, provided us with lots of interesting details about the dolphins and the impressive marine nature around Sesimbra and Cabo Espichel. In addition to the spectacular dolphin show, we were able to admire the coast below Cabo Espichel from the water. It was just all around beautiful. We felt all the time very comfortable and are very grateful for the best experience ever. We can definitely recommend the Mega Dive Team. We ourselves will book other experiences with Mega Dive for sure in the future.

Dolphins on the mega dive
I loved the experience, of course I will repeat. The staff was tireless, we still visualized huge dolphins from two different species.
