Unlike larger, slower tour boats, your small-group RIB tours offer a more personal, fast-paced, and flexible experience. We adapt your route in real-time based on the latest dolphin sightings and sea conditions, giving you the best possible chance to see wildlife. Your trips are led by experienced marine biologists who are not only there to spot dolphins but also to ensure that every interaction is ethical and respectful. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of the marine environment—and memories of a truly responsible and exhilarating encounter with nature.

It was an amazing adventure on the boat to see all the beautiful dolphins and birds🥰 We had an excellent and very experienced guide Diogo - he found all the places where the dolphins were and showed us also a baitball - this was a memorable experience! Thank you very much Bettina and Lizzy
Thank you so much this was a truly memorable day! probably the biggest bait ball of the year!
Diogo was a great and knowledgeable guide, who gave lots of information about the dolphins. We saw lots of common dolphins and a couple of harbour porpoises. Thanks for a great trip!
Thank you so much it was a truly memorable day a bit choppy but the wildlife was something worth of a documentary!
Fantastic tour, excellent guides. Had an amazing time, couldn’t recommend more!
Thank you so much for the feedback we are very happy that it was a nice experience!
It was such a cool experience! We found two separate packs of dolphins the first one was with a baby & the other was a feeding party. Good value for the time we were out on the water. The guides were very knowledgeable & provided great conversation & answered all questions with great knowledge & information. Highly recommend doing this!
Thank you so much for the review that's the main reason for us to always try to go out in the ocean! Getting different behaviours, or different species! Was a plesure having you onbard, enjoy the rest of your trip!
Fantastic experience, guides very competent and passionate about their work. We spotted two groups of dolphins in their natural habitat, it was an incredible thrill for everyone. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience and had such a memorable encounter with the dolphins. It was a pleasure having you with us!
A fantastic experience enjoyed by all the family. Diogo and team were amazing guides and really engaging. We were able to spend a long time with a pod of females and their babies which Diogo treated incredibly respectfully. The whole family would recommend
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure having you and your family on board. We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience and the dolphins!
We had a great experience! Unfortunately, it was quite foggy on the day of our booking. However, they put a lot of effort into it. Instead of saying that we were out of luck, they let us go again the next day. We then saw a great many dolphins. It was beautiful. The tour guides are very nice and put a lot of effort into it. A lot was explained. On the way back, we also stopped at historical points. I would recommend it to everyone!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy we could give you a second chance and that you got to see so many dolphins. It was a pleasure having you with us!
Excellent trip! Ride is a little bumpy over time but being up close with the dolphins makes it all worth it. The guide was also terrific and they stopped to also give us some Lisbon history on the way back! Thanks Diogo!
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the dolphins and Lisbon along the way. It was a pleasure having you on board!
A truly incredible experience that is respectful of the animals' well-being. It is they who decide whether or not to approach the boat. The guide will give you plenty of information about the dolphins, their species, and even the groups you will encounter. We loved this experience, which brings strong emotions to life because the moment is so unique and suspended in time. Thanks to the whole team.
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil message ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’expérience. C’était un plaisir de vous avoir à bord !
This experience was the height of our Lisbon trip. After 1 hour boatride we got to see multiple groups of dolphins for an hour straight! The guide was very funny and included everyone in the group. It was clear that they care about the wellbeing of the dolphins and explained how they follow certain rules not to disturb them with the boat.
Thanks for the feedback, some days are just amazing!!!
