Setting sail from Faro, enjoy the scenic views of Ria Formosa Natural Park as the journey heads towards the Atlantic Ocean. Once at sea, guides will be on the lookout for diverse wildlife, particularly cetaceans!
There is a high likelihood of spotting dolphins such as the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) or the Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), and with some luck, even Orcas or whales might be seen.
During this excursion, various species of marine birds like the Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus), Shearwaters, and Storm Petrels can also be observed!
It’s also common to encounter other creatures such as the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus), and some species of sharks or marine turtles.
After locating a group of cetaceans, the team of Marine Biologists will share information about the animals and gather data for research before returning to Faro.
