About this experience
We begin our day trip by crossing the Tagus River, through the 25th of April Bridge, and stopping at Christ the King (without entering).
For lunch, you can book your own restaurant in Setúbal, or have our guide take you to a typical Portuguese restaurant, famous for its seafood and freshly caught fish.
Arriving at the Setúbal port, we will board the Catamaran "Vertigem Azul" or similar. The boat ride runs for approximately 3 hours. You will surely connect with nature, coming very closely to the Dolphins that make it their natural habitat.
On our way back, we'll pass through the Sesimbra Castle, which will offer you incredible views!
