Isaac Jami – Turkey

everything was well organised. the meeting point and the whole experience in general. the beer and sangria was EXCELLENT!! The staff were friendly and professional (max 2 people outside at the front of the boat for example) would have been great to see dolphins but again we know they are wild animals so there is no guarantee. we appreciate the effort that the crew made to try and find them for us. overall, it's an activity that we would do again.

Everything was perfect :) The host welcoming on board is so joyful and open and happy to talk about Lisboa. She explained also the landmarks on boths sides of the Tejo. We saw dolphins for about 20mins. very close. Drinks were for free as well. You can sit outside and inside. I loved it :) Thank you!

Full description

Get ready for a delightful excursion as we embark on a dolphin-watching tour, departing from the heart of Lisbon along the picturesque Tagus River. Our journey begins amidst the historical charm of Lisbon, where travelers gather with anticipation, eager to immerse themselves in the wonders of nature.

As we depart from the bustling city, the waters of the Tagus River reveal stunning views of Lisbon's iconic landmarks. In this setting of architectural splendor, we venture into the vast expanse of the ocean, with our eyes set on the horizon in search of the graceful inhabitants of the sea.

Guided by experienced maritime specialists, we navigate the blue waters, in tune with the natural rhythms of the ocean. Along the way, our crew shares insights about the marine ecosystem, enriching our understanding of the various species living in these waters.

As we venture into the Atlantic, anticipation builds, and soon we are rewarded with the sight of playful dolphins dancing among the waves. With a sense of awe, we observe these magnificent creatures leaping and gliding alongside our vessel, their joyful presence a testament to the beauty of the natural world.

In this intimate encounter with marine life, travelers have the opportunity to observe dolphins in their natural habitat, fostering a deeper appreciation for their intelligence and grace. Our crew ensures minimal disturbance to the environment, allowing for a respectful and unforgettable experience for both humans and dolphins alike.

Join us on this fascinating journey as we explore the beauty of Lisbon's waterfront and the enchanting world beneath the waves. Let the magic of discovering dolphins leave an indelible mark on your Lisbon adventure, a testament to the boundless wonders of the natural world.

Tour did exactly what it said it would. We saw dolphins and went around and saw Lisbon from the water. However i will say there is room for improvement. The tour guide can be a bit more engaged with the crowd also the sound wasn’t always great to hear what they were saying. But o really got exactly what we were promised
