Overview

You will observe a unique community of bottlenose dolphins, which have permanent residence in the Sado River estuary.

This species is larger than the common dolphin and has a darker hue, close to anthracite grey.

You can also observe common dolphins, which are smaller and extremely fast.

Speaking of speed, our boat is quite fast, which is a big advantage when it comes to finding dolphins, which are wild animals that travel many nautical miles in a short time. Therefore, our success rate in finding these friendly mammals is around 100%.

Furthermore, our boat, due to its characteristics, allows for very close observation of dolphins. This way, you'll be able to take fantastic photos and videos of the experience to share with your family and friends.

Dolphins are wild and unpredictable animals. We will locate them in different locations, which makes this experience unique and unrepeatable.

Activity itinerary

Departure from Setúbal, sail on the Sado River and look for dolphins to observe in their natural habitat. We will pass by Albarquel beach, the Comenda palace and the Outão lighthouse that announces the entry into oceanic waters. Be amazed by the unique view over the beaches of Figueirinha, Galapos, Coelhos, Creiro and Portinho da Arrábida with their turquoise blue waters. We can also visit Alpertuche beach and the cliffs of Arrábida with its small caves, as well as the small islands at the mouth of Sado. However, so much beauty cannot make us forget the main objective of our trip: observing dolphins in their natural habitat. Our skipper will change the order of this itinerary depending on this great objective, making it possible to sail out to sea in search of these friendly wild animals. We will observe bottlenose dolphins, which have a colony in the Sado River, or common dolphins normally found in the open sea. Dolphins are wild animals and are not always found in the same place. Our company finds them on around 99% of boat trips. If you are included in the remaining 1%, you will be entitled to a free voucher to repeat the experience.
