I forgot their names, but the guide and the captain were very sweet and did a great job. Throughout the trip they were very attentive towards everyone´s needs and always smiling. Also the lady at the reception was very helpful and provided a windbreaker for the trip free of charge. Overall a recomendable experience despite the weather.

We booked this boat tour through Viator who booked it with Vertente Natural who contracted a private boat because they had so many tours.
Everyone involved was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful & truly amazing. We wouldn’t change a thing & highly recommend spending time on the water while in Sesimbra!

Pudimos ver delfines , los guías muy simpáticos y atentos . Respetando la naturaleza , cualquier cosa que encontraban por el camino la retiraban del mar .
