Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat is one of life's special experiences. Observe these fascinating and friendly creatures on this cruise down Portugal's sunny, south coast. Welcomed aboard by the crew, you'll set sail from Portimao harbour. Passing caves, coves and beaches, your knowledgeable skipper knows just where to head. Both bottlenose and common dolphins call this place home and they just love to show off. A captivating Algarve experience.

Omg what can I say. This trip was breathtaking from start to finish . The staff on the speedboat were fantastic. This was a dream to see dolphins in the wild. I wasn’t disappointed in any of the trip .. just pure fantastic

Der Ausflug an sich war super und hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Leider sind wir mit ca. Einer halben Stunde Verspätung abgeholt worden. Dadurch war dann am Hafen alles sehr hektisch.

We enjoyed the commentary and information from the the tour staff nothing to dislike it was a great experience.

Really great experience, good local knowledge, a great day was had by all.

This trip was absolutely amazing, its the best trip I've ever been on. The skippers were very friendly and made the experience a lot more funny / relaxing..we couldn't find dolphins at first but they continued until we did and it was so worth it. The caves were spectacular. The whole experience was perfect. The only thing I would say is, dont advertise this as suitable for 4 year olds, id originally booked my younger child on but didnt take him and im glad I didnt. Id say its for 7 years plus
