Description

• This business is owned and operated by a marine biologist, researching these dolphins for 17 years. • Last time we failed to see dolphins or whales on an ocean tour was on Jan 2023. • We will look for the best dolphin group, not just the closest dolphin group. • We have the smallest group (10pax) dolphin experience. No middle row, everyone can be at an arm’s reach from them. The guide will satisfy all your curiosity, he’s a dolphin expert! (cetologist) • We don't lecture about the subjects, we lead you to the answers you seek. • We are only focused on dolphin watching and research. You will be supporting research of the local dolphin communities. • The boat is made from recyclable materials and has the lowest emissions of all dolphin watching boats in Lisbon. • Up to 40 miles and 3h of search included if needed. • We are the first licensed dolphin watching agency in Lisbon, the original one!

Amazing

Fantastic experience! We were on the water for around 3 hours total. Francisco is very knowledgeable and engaging I would gladly go again.

Best experience

Best choice! Francisco was kind and attentive. We got to see two pods of dolphins, he explained their anatomy in a fun and informative way. We also got closer to the coast and enjoyed a tour and explanations of the caves and monuments seen by the boat, amazing service. The boat is the perfect size, easy to see the dolphins, not too many people as it has 12 seats and they offer windbrakers if you don't have one. Absolutely recommend, worth every cent💯

Fantastic.

After a last minute cancellation by AirBnB, who forgot to email us, we are so glad to have gone with Mercedes Benz. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life (I'm 50ish and have traveled quite a lot in Europe). The ride out to the dolphins was enormous fun in itself, and the views were stunning. Laura and Gaby were great hostesses and a wealth of knowledge on dolphins. I was worried we might disturb the dolphins, but the organisers make sure they aren't crowded. And seeing dolphins in their natural habitat made me cry, it was just beautiful.

Highly Recommended Dolphin Tour!

We went on our first dolphin-watching tour with Lisbon Dolphins today, and it was a fantastic experience! We saw many dolphins and had plenty of time to observe them. After spotting the first dolphins in the river, the tour continued for another 1.5 hours out into the ocean in search of more species. There, we were also lucky enough to spot two sharks. The crew shared lots of interesting information about the dolphins and other marine mammals throughout the tour, making the experience both exciting and educational. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended

A great experience. Well worth the money. You will get wet, and cold. You will learn about the different dophins. Waterproof windbreaks are supplied if needed. It can be hard on your backside. 3 days later and still sore. Highly recommended experience.

A Fantastic Tour

We had the best time on the Lisbon Dolphins tour. We saw a huge pod of common dolphins and spent time watching and learning about them. Highly recommend if you are in Lisbon!

Great tour

Super cool dolphin tour!! We first had to search for about an hour, when we found them more than 100 dolphins swam next to the boat. A super cool experience!

Great this you have to do!!

Great experience, you should do this when you are in Lisbon and have the time. You go out to sea in a boat under the guidance of super motivated marine biologist! Nice piece of boating and encountered several dolphin groups! They get very close to the boat and you get a lot of interesting explanations. Really an absolute must!!

Perfect tour

We had booked two tours. Both were absolutely fantastic. A small, very personal Enterprise. Francisco is there with passion and takes a hell of a lot of time. He finds all the animals that are somewhere nearby. We had 5 different marine mammals including fin whales on a tour. The dolphins were each in large numbers around the boat and you didn't even know where to look anymore. The Zodiac offers 12 seats and you can book the desired row of seats. So there is no stress on site with the choice of place. A magical experience. We will come back!
