This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal! We loved getting to ride around and see dolphins and the beautiful coastline outside of Sesimbra. It was so nice having a guide as knowledgeable and passionate as Catarina, she taught us so much about dolphins and the local habitat, as well as conservation efforts in the area. Andre was a great driver - Thank you for the great excursion, Catarina and Andre! We had a wonderful time.

We loved the opportunity to be up close with a large family of dolphins, but the best part was the knowledge that our guide, Catarina , brought to the experience. Her background as a marine biologist made all the difference. Highly recommend!

Great boat trip where we were lucky to see a whale! Besides the wonderful dolphins of course. The guide was perfect, she speaks very good English

Beautiful experience! Erica explained the different cross species very well and gave us lots of information! We were able to swim on one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe! It was magic
Remember to take a small jacket especially if you are experiencing with a child.

Great experience! A group of Dolphins, including a small one, was searched for and followed with great respect. We also had the chance to meet 2 sharks (shark fins...) Superb morning that will leave us beautiful memories! Thank you to our two lovely companions!

Das hören der Geräusche der Delfine und das Neugeborene mit Mutter zu sehen. Die atemberaubende Aussicht und Besichtigung der Felsklippen und der Höhle

We werden zeer warm onthaald door de gepassioneerde Catharina. Ze heeft ervoor gezorgd dat we een interessante uitleg kregen en een prachtige ervaring op zee hebben gehad. We hebben veel tijd genomen om te genieten van de dolfijnen die rondom de boot kwamen meezwemmen. We hebben zelfs het geluk gehad een walvis te spotten! Deze DayDream Experience was het hoogtepunt van onze reis!

Nous avons vu des dauphins (pendant environ 30 min) et c'etait l'objectif principal de la sortie. Toutefois, 3 heures de bateau pour cela... à chacun de se faire sa propre opinion. Par ailleurs, très peu d'explications/commentaires, et uniquement en anglais alors que le tour était sensé etre en français (pas bien grave vu le peu de commentaires ceci etant...). La guide etait toutefois très sympa.
