Dolphin Watching Boat Tour from Portimão – Small Group
Overview
This boat trip is a truly unique experience for the whole family. The excursion provides magical encounters: with the dolphins in Portimão.
Come aboard on our specially designed rigid dolphin-watching boat in Portimão and feel the thrill of looking for these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.
For more than 20 years, dolphins have been protected species in Portugal. Fortunately, our boats do not negatively affect the lives of these species. On the contrary, sometimes dolphins even like to play with the jets of our boats.
Thanks to experienced skippers, the success rate for dolphin sightings in Portimão is 95%. However, it is wild animals that are not fed so there are never certainties!
This trip in search of the dolphins in Portimão takes about two hours, but the memories will last forever!
