Incredible experience - I had a wonderful experience on the dolphin observation tour in Faro. Master André and guide Kika were simply exceptional, demonstrating a deep knowledge of marine life and a contagious passion for what they do. We were lucky to see several dolphins in their natural habitat, a truly magical moment. I highly recommend this activity to those who visit the Algarve and seek an authentic connection with nature.

Experience with dolphins - At first I thought it was another boat trip between friends, but I soon saw that our instructor Kika and Captain André, showed us that the beautiful riva can be fantastic! Even more when outside the river we went looking for dolphins, and what a surprise when we saw them live, dolphins (roaz) according to our instructor Kika simply magical for our children. Congratulations for the talent and service provided by boatlife, thank you

An unforgettable experience ☀️ - The day started early, but nothing prepared us for what was coming! The meeting point was super easy to identify, Kika welcomed us with a smile at a local café in the doca of Faro. We followed for our adventure, at the beginning, crossing the canals of the beautiful Ria Formosa. We were able to appreciate the natural and wild beauty of the place, we saw some birds, but we did not know what species were, but they were beautiful! As soon as we left the river, the boat accelerated and I felt like I was in a Safari, only the binoculars were missing! The crew always quite committed and attentive was always looking at the horizon for something that could be signs of these beautiful wild animals. When we made the first sighting, it was quite exciting. The dolphins jumped freely in the ocean and even played and swam by our boat. An experience like nothing I've ever lived. It was lovely to see these animals. A truly unique experience. Thank you Kika and André for this moment. I will, surely take for the rest of my life!
