    We had a great time! They were very professional. Sara, the marine biologist, gave a lot of information about the dolphins. It seems a hard job to find them at sea but they found them! It was a group of more than 10 dolphins and they came very close to the boat. There were Some young dolphins too. We definetely recommend doing this Unique experience when in Cascais!

    We recently went on the Dolphin Tour with our 5 year old daughter. It was her favourite part of our entire trip to Portugal. It was amazing to see pods of dolphins and schools of fish. The guides were knowledgeable about nature and conservation. I would highly recommend this excursion if you are visiting Cascais with kids. All the adults had an amazing time too. Thank you for the experience!

    Best day ever. The trip was amazing. Our dolphin experts were so lovely, caring and knowledgable. We saw lots of dolphins and a whale which was so incredible. I had the best time and would recommend this 100%. It’s a very small company so limited tours means the dolphins aren’t disturbed by mass boats and tourists which I liked. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was so wonderful. Would defo do this again and use the same company. Thank you so much!

    What a wonderful experience seeing pods of dolphins quick into our departure from the marina. Warm, informative and engaging hosts who really tried their best to locate the best spots to observe the dolphins. There is nothing better than seeing these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. As a family of four we loved every minute of our trip. Thank you.

    Awesome experience. The two skippers were great, we spent the first hour speeding around the sighting spots, when we then found the dolphins it was beautiful. We spent another half hour following the pod we found, once they were comfortable with the boat they came very close. The high speed trip back along the coast was stunning

    I highly recommend this tour! Very friendly captain and marine biologist who shared with us their love of the sea and marine life. We saw several pods of dolphins who swam and jumped alongside the boat, including 3 who jumped together right in front of the boat!! As the boat is small the dolphins were very close to us and the tour also felt very personalized. I will definitely take this tour again the next visit to Cascais!!

    A must-do in Cascais. Rui and Sara create a fantastic experience, far away from other crowded tours. 100% suitable for kids of any age, it’s a unique opportunity to discover many different species of dolphins, other sealife and learn a lot along the way. Will repeat for sure!

    Amazing trip, absolute highlight of the holiday. Guides were really informative, boat was great and we were lucky to see loads of dolphins on a beautiful, hot day. 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Erin G. 7 months ago on Google
    We saw at least 30-40 dolphins on our tour. They were swimming right up by the boat. My only feedback would be to do a little more fast boating at the end. We had asked but the one circle they did was a little anti climatic.

  • 5/5 Bertwin W. 9 months ago on Google
    We did the tour yesterday and everything was perfect, the guides who explained everything gave a lot of backgroud about the nature and animals around cascais, the weather, the sea and the dolphins ( which showed up 😁). Highly recommend this tour. Next time again. Thanks you so much for this wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Ravi C. 11 months ago on Google
    Quite possibly one of the best experiences ever! I booked it two weeks ago, it was a suprise for my girlfriends birthday. We honestly had the best experience and what made it special is Sara and Rui. They gave us their undivided attention in explaining about the sealife and of course the dolphins. We managed to see a lot of dolphins. It was thrilling as sea conditions where not for the faint hearted:) If you ever want a unique experience with 2 great people just don't look anywhere else!

    We had such a memorable and fun experience! Definitely our holiday highlight. Highly recommend!

    We (family of four with two children) really enjoyed our experience. Rui and Sara were extremely knowledgeable, passionate and genuine in their desire to expose us to the marine life while being respectful to it. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Mark K. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic experience! We had two teenagers, two parents, and two grandparents, all with different comfort levels and fears, but all LOVED the tour. The staff were super friendly and fun. We were fortunate enough to see many dolphins, really close up. Thank you!

  • 5/5 martin k. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice people, safety first rules are applied, and they do respect the dolphins by not harcelons them, not staying too long and letting them come to the boat. And you’ll see plenty of dolphins! We did.

  • 5/5 Francisco M. 4 years ago on Google
    Memorable experiences and in just 2h. I'm on my 3rd time doing the tour, always lot of dolphins surfacing within an arm's reach and they stay with us for 20 min! And not just dolphins, many seabirds, saw a sunfish once and breathtaking coastal landscapes.

    Fun fun trip. So lucky we got to see whales even more than dolphins 🐳. The guides were really nice. Would go again for sure.

  • 5/5 Svetlana S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing experience! We saw three different groups of dolphins that were swimming around and below our boat. On the way back we were able to see the whole area from Cascais to Cabo da Roca from ocean view. Both Rui and Sara are wonderful, and also care about the nature and ocean, and not to disturb natural habitat of all spieces. We will for sure repeat the tour, and highly recommend anyone to try it, too!

👍👍 Miguel and the crew are very hospitable, constantly offering snacks and beverages between baiting hooks. We caught 20+ fish over the half day fishing. Be prepared to clean and prep your own fish, but you get to keep all your catch! We had an amazing time, would definitely recommend!

👍👍 Great location, friendly service and reasonable prices. We rented two traditional (non-electric) bikes from Aquastart for our exploration of the coast up to Guincho. The price for four hours was about $10 per bike which included one bike lock with a key and two bike helmets. Helpful Hints: First,...
