      Must Do Experience

      Monique_D, Aug 2025
      Such a wonderful experience! We saw a whole pod of dolphins and spent a good deal of time with them and close to them as the boat is small enough to do so. We were then taken along the arrabida coast! We loved the experience and we highly recommend booking

      Uncomfortable boat for a long trip

      Melanie_L, Aug 2025
      The boat is very uncomfortable, you’re sitting straddling and there’s no shade. It would be fine for 1 hour max. But 2.5 hours was too uncomfortable. We saw a few glimpses of dolphins and obviously you can’t guarantee seeing them but we hung around for over an hour and then spent a good hour going along the coast line which was pretty boring. A shorter, sharper trip out to see dolphins would be better.

      Great experience with very respectful and super friendly guides

      Highly recommend

      Fantastic, saw plenty of dolphins and the guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We were helped by magical weather which heightened the experience, but we encountered dolphins all over the place, which was followed by an interesting tour of the coastline.

      Excellent experience

      Excepcional excursión

      Mara_M, Jul 2024
      Los guías estupendos, nos explicaron todo y cualquier pregunta de la excursión o de otra cosa la respondieron con mucha amabilidad. Después de ver los del fines fuimos a ver alguna cueva y rocas con formas muy bonitas. Hicimos una parada para bañarnos en un arenal. Y además nos llevaron por la costa viendo sitios como el fuerte, la península... Que de otra forma no hubiéramos podido ver por falta de tiempo. .

      Flussdelfine aus nächster Nähe erleben

      Alois_G, Jul 2024
      In einem Schlauchboot kann man die Delfine aus nächster Nähe erleben. Dazu gute Erklärungen (mehrsprachig), eine tolle Rundfahrt an der Küste, Gelegenheit zum Schwimmen an einem Sandstrand. Empfehlenswert!
