Top Trip 🐬 - A brilliant way to spend a couple of hours! The team were great; Clara, the guide, was so friendly & knowledgeable. We saw a dolphin nursery pod and spent time watching the mums teach the babies how to spin & breach - magical! Sadly we didn’t see any whales but the flying fish were an unexpected & spectacular bonus.

Three different sightings - Friendly and knowledgeable crew, Clara and the captain (sorry, I forgot his name!) helped us find one species of whale and two species of dolphin, spending plenty of time observing and photographing all of them. The last group of dolphins included two babies and put on a great show for us. The speedboat was fast but still comfortable, although we were very lucky with the weather! Thinking of booking again before we return to the UK.

Magical💙 - It’s called Magic Dolphin for a reason! The whole experience was so magical! We saw two pods of dolphins and two Sperm Whales! The captain and tour guide really try their best to give you a great experience while respecting the marine life. It really exceeded our expectations even and was such a great time!!

Amazing, splendid!! Unforgettable... - What an extraordinary outing with Florine for her kindness and explanations and Ruben our captain who knew how to transport us to all points DE view!! In an idyllic setting, we particularly appreciated the respect for animals and the explanations that show that the welfare of marine species is the number one priority. We had the chance DE see 3 sperm whales, then more than a dozen DE dolphins that accompanied our zodiac without stress. We have taken full advantage of EN and will keep a lasting memory of EN. Thank you for everything; we will come back!!!

Great adrenaline rush - The company was well organised and very professional. They gave us good info on the dolphins. The adrenaline rush was great seeing the dolphins then the speed of the boat going over the rough waves. Well worth doing.

- It was absolutely fantastic, we loved it! The speedboat experience was incredibly fun, and we got to see three species of dolphins yesterday, including the rare Risso’s dolphins, which was so special. Our guide Florine and captain Ruben were super knowledgeable and friendly, and it was just an amazing experience from start to finish.

Adventure speedboat tour with dolphins – a must-do! - In July I went on this dolphin & whale watching tour together with my boyfriend in the morning, and it was a truly unforgettable experience! Our guide was super excited and told us all about the different species of dolphins. We have seen no less than three species of dolphins, and that up close – a magical moment we will never forget! What I especially liked is how respectful they treat the animals. There is absolutely no intrusive sailing; they give the dolphins space and consider their welfare. Tip: Definitely choose the speedboat instead of the catamaran! This way you can shift gears quickly, you get to the dolphins in time and you have a much better chance to see them properly. It's also a super fun way to hit the water. Everything was top arranged from start to finish. For anyone who loves nature and animals: this is an absolute must-do in Portugal!

Magical Experience - Absolutely incredible sea safari experience! We were lucky enough to witness several pods of dolphins playing in the waves right alongside the rib boat. It was a truly magical and unforgettable moment. The crew was fantastic, knowledgeable, and made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this sea safari for anyone hoping to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat!"
