We went out in hopes of seeing dolphins in their natural habitats, and that's just what happened! The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and very intent on everyone having a positive experience.
I definitely recommend this tour. As an added bonus, you essentially get to see the entire coastline of the Algarve. Beautiful!

We had a great time on this tour with our family of four (2 adults, 1 teen and 1 child). Bruno and Joáo were knowledge and made the tour fun! We went several locations to see dolphins, but didn’t see any other marine life on this day. My kids loved it, and it was one of their favorite parts of our trip to Portugal. Highly recommend!!

Very enjoyable Dolphin watching trip with perfect weather and sea conditions. We also had a very good 'guide' !

It was a fun experience and we almost instantly found dolphins. The Guides were great and explained all about the dolphins.

The dolphin watch was very good and we did see dolphins very quickly and not far from the departure port.

Do NOT book this trip ahead of time. We did. We showed up, were told the launch time had been delayed. Fine, we had coffee. Meanwhile, others were signing up as we waited. We were the last ones called to board, despite the fact we had booked over a month ago. We did not get to sit together and had to squeeze in where we could. Could have been better.

Dear Sir / Madame, I am sorry to hear but unfortunately for safety reasons we do need to board in first place families with small children and elderly people. Its impossible for us or for any other company to book seats once safety its our main concerne. The boats that sail on rough seas are not a cinema room where you can easily book your seats. We need to be very strict on our safety precautions. The fact that you booked a month in advance does not mean that we will jeopardize our safety standards. Kind Regards Dalila

The boat ride was thoroughly enjoyable, felt more like a ride then anything. I was very pleased that they drove us almost 20km off the shoreline to ensure that we were able to see dolphins. We saw two pods - but stuck around the larger more sociable one. 10/10 experience!

This was a great trip. We were on a small boat and it was fast and a bumpy ride. Definitely not for the faint hearted though. And we got to see dolphins which was amazing.
Just make sure you like thrills.
