About this experience
• This business is owned and operated by a marine biologist, researching these dolphins for 17 years.
• Last time we failed to see dolphins or whales on an ocean tour was on Jan 2023.
• We will look for the best dolphin group, not just the closest dolphin group.
• We have the smallest group (10pax) dolphin experience. No middle row, everyone can be at an arm’s reach from them. The guide will satisfy all your curiosity, he’s a dolphin expert! (cetologist)
• We don't lecture about the subjects, we lead you to the answers you seek.
• We are only focused on dolphin watching and research. You will be supporting research of the local dolphin communities.
• The boat is made from recyclable materials and has the lowest emissions of all dolphin watching boats in Lisbon.
• Up to 40 miles and 3h of search included if needed.
• We are the first licensed dolphin watching agency in Lisbon, the original one!
