Excellent experience and well worth the cost - An excellent experience all round. Picked up in Lisbon as scheduled. Arrived in good time to have a snack. Friendly guide and boat skipper. Spotted dolphins within about 5 minutes of leaving the port and then taken further out to sea as more `pods` had been reported. Then spotted many in the next hour. Returned via the coast to view the cliffs and isolated beaches. Offered a chance to swim (not taken up!). Well worth the cost.

One of the best things I’ve ever done - This was an amazing experience. Dolphins swam and jumped alongside the boat for ages. Our faces were sore with smiling. Cristiana was a lovely guide - knowledgeable and friendly in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. I feel so lucky to have done this trip.

Wonderful - A magnificent outing with Mario and Eric, who we had the pleasure of sharing our amazement at the sight of all these dolphins dancing around the boat, a liqueur and a cake facing the pretty cove of Sesimbra offered graciously by the crew, outing unforgettable

Excellent trip - Excellent morning and very well spent.
The sea was rough, but the boat is very stable and the trip to the dolphin watching area is amazing, passing by the cliffs of Arrábida, one of the most beautiful landscapes on the Portuguese coast.
We had the opportunity to observe several families of dolphins, the Sado bottlenose dolphins, who had two calves with them. These animals are beautiful and very intelligent, they interacted with us and walked around the boat.
On the way back, we even took a dip in the sea.
Thanks to master Mário and guide Eddie.

A morning well spent - It was a fantastic semi-rigid ride. Good safety standards, explanations with knowledge of the area and surroundings and, above all, we saw two groups of dolphins
