We depart from Portimão and venture into the open sea in search of dolphins. The tour lasts approximately 1h45, depending on the distance of the animals. The course we take also depends on their location. We are a maritime tourism company dedicated to responsible cetacean observation, licensed by the ICNF (Institute for Conservation of Nature and Forests), and our entire crew is properly trained by FOR-MAR (Professional Training Center for Fisheries and the Sea) and is well aware of the regulations and practices of responsible observation. The team consists of a captain with many years of experience at sea and biologists who share a profound love for nature and marine life. We believe that education plays a vital role in conservation, which is why we strive to deepen our knowledge to provide valuable information about these magnificent animals, their behavior, and the marine environment they inhabit. Our passion is to offer unforgettable, educational, and responsible experiences while exploring the biodiverse waters surrounding our coast. What are the most sighted species? Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) – Conservation Status: Near Threatened* Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) – Conservation Status: Least Concern* *Red List of Mammals of Continental Portugal, 2022 We have a guide on board where you can see all the other possible species to observe. The possible behaviors to observe are: Socialization, Feeding, Movement, and Rest. During the sighting, we will provide more information about the observed behavior.

Always maintain a course parallel and behind them. – Communication with Other Boats: Coordinate interactions with dolphins to avoid collision or encirclement. – Environmental Monitoring: We monitor sea conditions and animal behavior to adapt…
