“I booked this tour for my boyfriend’s birthday, while staying a few days in Lisbon. Can really recommend to do this. By coincidence we were the only 2 people who booked the tour but still got to go and got to see many dolphins. Even a few ones with baby! They came very close to the boat and even when we headed to a nice place to take a dive, we had a second round of dolphin watching. The tour guides were really nice and chill with us being the only ones. During the tour we also got a regional drink and pastry which was perfect when you have already…”

See dolphins near Lisbon on a fast RIB-boat safari from Alcântara, with marine biologists, coastal views, and a small group capped at 16.
“Bart is very charismatic and caring, same goes for the skipper on the day. On the way of our dolphin search, we enjoyed views of the beautiful Portuguese coastline. The dolphin sighting after the storm that hit Portugal was going to be a bit of a challenge, but Bart and the skipper did their utmost to make it happen, and WOW, we encountered a small group of dolphins that surrounded us, checking us out. It was magical seeing them in their natural habitat. Another group contacted Bart and skipper that they have encountered another larger breed of dolphins, so we rushed to their area and enjoyed ANOTHER sighting! Thank you…”
