Dolphins & Wildlife Watching Boat Tour – Ria Formosa & Ocean Experience
Ages: 2+ | Duration: ~2h30
Join an exciting dolphin watching adventure and experience the thrill of sailing into the open ocean in search of wild dolphins. Depart from the Ria Formosa and head into oceanic waters where these incredible animals live freely in their natural habitat. Travel aboard a fast and agile RIB boat, designed specifically for dolphin watching. With two experienced skippers on board, you will safely reach the best areas for sightings while enjoying a dynamic and unforgettable ride. Observe dolphins swimming, jumping, and playing around the boat, and discover other marine wildlife along the way. Your expert guides will share insights about the species, their behavior, and the local ecosystem throughout the tour. As you return, enjoy views of the Ria Formosa and spot seabirds that often accompany the journey.

NO. It is very important to be aware that this is a 100% natural tour in the open wild and not a zoo! Therefore we can never guarantee for sure that cetaceans will be sighted, but we can promise we will do our best to find them.
NO. We will try our best to find cetaceans for more than 2h00, and we can search for a little bit more ( if the skipper determines the conditions are good to continue). However, if the tour starts but the sea is unexpectedly rough the tour may be cancelled with refund.
