Great Experience

Wow, what an amazing experience! There were four in my group and all of us loved it. We didn't get the names of the guides, but they were brilliant - super friendly and informative - you can tell they have a passion for the wildlife. As with any tour, there is a chance you won't see any animals, but we were lucky enough to spot dolphins and a whale. If I visit Faro again, I would definitely book with Ocean Vibes.

Great experience

Magnificent excursion. We were slow to see dolphins and when we saw them, we were surrounded. There were about twenty of them playing with the boat.

Wonderful experience!

It was a wonderful experience, we saw various groups of dolphins even close to the boat! The guides who accompanied us explained a lot about these cetaceans and were very attentive to spotting the dolphins! Very skilled and helpful! The small number of people makes the experience exclusive.

Unique experience!

Magnificent walk with a very good view of the dolphins! The guides were great, including a marine biologist who is passionate about explaining the marine wildlife habitat and protecting it. Very high chances of seeing several marine species

Great experience while seeing Orcas

We had an amazing time with our two guides Anna and Pedro. Clear and good safety instructions before departure, they even gave it in two different languages. Pedro gave us a lot of interesting facts about the animals we were about to see. It's also important to notice that the guides can't make animals appear and that its luck what and how many different species you will see. I liked that Anna made that clear from the beginning. During the tour we stopped to collect trash out of the ocean.

Perfect! Don't hesitate!

Go for it! Don't hesitate, this company is excellent! They are very concerned about animals, compliance with rules, and nature. The team is made up of true professionals, so you will get plenty of information about the dolphins and other marine animals encountered. I took the time to compare many companies before choosing OceanVibes and I do not regret my choice because on-site we saw "touristy" companies that only do it for the money without respect for the animals. Go with Ocean Vibes = professional marine biologists, it is their year-round job to study cetaceans. Thanks to them for their work and research. We had an incredible show!

Excellent guides

We had a fabulous time on this excursion. Our guides Pedro and Ana were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were so fortunate to see a family of orcas - which our guides informed us was extremely rare.
