River Search
We depart from Doca de Santo Amaro, just under the bridge, and begin our search for dolphins in the Tagus River.

Ocean Search
If sea conditions allow, we’ll venture into the open ocean to continue looking for dolphins and whales. After spending time with the dolphins, we’ll pursue highly interactive groups or whales, depending on conditions.

Dolphin Encounter
We focus on minimizing disturbance from other boats and maintaining steady navigation to encourage dolphins to stay nearby. You’ll learn about the group structure, their habits, and behaviors. After your up-close dolphin encounter, we’ll teach you how to observe them in a whole new way—seeing these incredible creatures like never before.

Return with Sightseeing
On the way back, we’ll pass by Lisbon’s main monuments and share short, fascinating facts. Once we return, after a quick restroom break, we’ll help you identify the species you encountered and offer some extra insights for those who want to linger a little longer.
