We were thrilled with our experience. The guides were very good. Knowledgeable, clear, organized. We saw so many dolphins! We loved that the tour operators are very conscious to not interfere with the dolphin’s natural environment and behaviors. Despite some choppy waves, the boat ride was fine. We also enjoyed the close-up tour of the epic rocky cliffs and caves. We saw both common and bottlenose dolphins! The experience exceeded our expectations.

Super memorable experience! We were able to watch and stay with two types of dolphins for long stretches of time and dip in the emerald green waters of Sesimbra coast. Our guide Rosa and skipper Pedro were knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic making the tour even more enjoyable!
