Our main goal is to find dolphins!
Depart from Lisbon on a fast Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB).
The adventure starts on a speedboat in search of dolphins as we head into the wide Atlantic Ocean.
Get the best views of the Atlantic Coastline, on a comfortable and safe 8.5m RIB as we head out to sea.
We will scan the ocean in search of wildlife using several techniques; just like a scientist, you will play an important role in helping us find them.
Get to know the different cetacean and seabirds species with an expert Marine Biologist.
During 3 hours, you will experience the adventure of looking for wild marine species, like sunfish, sharks, jellyfish, whales or even sea turtles, so close to Lisbon.
We want you to get to know them closer.
Upon returning to the Tagus river, we will quickly stop in front of the beautiful monuments in Belem and you will admire the iconic 25th of April Bridge.

Located in the Lisbon centre, we depart from Doca de Santo Amaro, in the neighbourhood of Alcântara.
A good reference point is the dock just under the 25th of April bridge, on a nature adventure odyssey towards the Atlantic Ocean, leaving the Tagus Estuary.
Embrace the wilderness of the Altantic Ocean with an expert Marine Biologist who will show you the best prespectives of the coastline and off the crowded attractions of Lisbon.

Such a fun time. Beautiful creatures just trying to get a meal. It was nice to see the tour guides follow the regulations and developed their own guidelines to not impose too much stress on the dolphins.
