Kubilay – Turkey

It was an amazing tour! The guides were not only very friendly but also super knowledgeable. Out of the vast ocean, they managed to find dolphins and brought us close to them ,such a magical experience! I truly appreciated their environmental awareness too; they picked up any plastic or trash they saw in the water. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature and adventure!

Lovisa – Sweden

Amazing trip, good and informative and we were lucky that several dolphins came up close to the boat. Felt very safe all the time at the boat!

Full description

Depart from Lisbon's city center on a fast rigid inflatable boat. The crew and Marine biologist will make sure you have a safety briefing and debrief of the activity so you can enjoy the most of it.

Once arriving at the ocean, get to know the wildlife more closely and learn about the species of dolphins and seabirds with a specialist onboard. Spend up to three hours venturing in the ocean to watch for dolphins and find other marine species like sea fish, sharks, jellyfish, or even sea-turtles. The more species we find, the more exciting the activiy will be.

We always make sure the safety and comfortable ocean conditions are met so you can enjoy the experience.

Before heading back, you will see the beautiful monuments seen from the river, Monuments for the Discoveries, the Jerónimos Monastery, and the Tower of Belém.

This activity can only be done in certified and licenced boat companies to Observe Cetacean in their natural habitat.

Megan – United KingdomJune 1, 2025 – Verified booking
We went on the 9:30 trip and it was AMAZING. After travelling quite far out with all our eyes peeled, we were suddenly surrounded by dolphins and the guide gave us lots of information about the species we saw and how they were behaving. The boat kept its distance from the pod as not to stress the dolphins out , but this allowed them to come over to our boat , swimming along side and around it. We were lucky to have a calm clear day and saw all the beautiful sights on the way out and back, whilst the guide gave us information about the surroundings. Would recommend. Highlight of our trip !!
