Amazing experience and team!

I really enjoyed seen the dolphins, although at the end of the tour they were hard to find.

But the icing on the top of the cake was seeing a fin whale.

The owner and our guide was very friendly en knows where to find the dolfins. It was Amazing. Love it that the dolfins are free to swim and hunt where they want. Afterwards I recieved a video from the trip.

Saw a pod of dolphins. Unfortunately not the bottled nose friendly kind that approach the boat but very cool. Have some information but not a ton. Showed us the coast and some secluded beaches. We didn’t get the bottled water. They provide jackets if you want in case you get cold.

Hello, thank you for your review. We have a filtered reusable bottle of water onboard in every tour, served in recycled paper cups. We stopped with the small individual water bottles to reduce the plastic use, it is completely useless and very harming for the environment the crazy use of plastics if there are better and more eco freindly options. The dolphin watching tour is conducted in the wild, sometimes we see several different species, whales and other sea animals , other days just one specie of dolphins and every day since 2013 we never failed finding them🙂👍🐬one of the many reasons that's what makes this tour so amazing. Hope to see you again, and maybe that time we can be lucky to see the bottlenose dolphins that you wanted so much or who knows what other species more? We are glad you enjoyed the tour 🙂 Best regards, Pedro@bolhastours

was a good trip, the dolphins didn't disappoint. The snorkelling could have been done maybe around the little ship wreck as there was nothing to see where we were.. but good guide, good experience and we saw a lot of dolphins

The trip was well organised, we had a good time watching dolphins. However, I booked this precise trip because we wanted to combine dolphin watching and snorkelling. For some reason the dolphin watching part took longer than expected and therefore we did not have time for snorkelling, leaving my son quite disappointed. I think it should be made clearer in the description of the activity that such situation may occur.

Hello! Thank you for your review that we appreciate so much. It may occur in few days in summer foggy and cold mornings where we take more time as usual to spott the dolphins leaving less time for the remain of the coastal tour. On days like this, more cold we prefeer to do the tour to grottoes and bays to enjoy the time after the dolphins. Sometimes some adaptions have to be made due to weather, timmings or like in the last week after we spotted dolphins we had rare sightings of Fin Whales that we stayed with until the end of the tour and I think we all were delighted with that option :) Please remember this is an expedition into the wild and there are (gladly) everyday different conditions out at sea that makes every tour a unique experience witch is awesome! Although is not a snorkeling program we provide snorkeling masks when we stop for swimms at the end of the tour. We have the specific Snorkeling 3 hours program with seascooters guided tour that is a really fun program to do where we provide all the equipment - suit, masks, seascooters etc.. We will take note on your remarks and work from there to clarify participants in this singular days about swimms. We thank you once again for your nice comments that just made us improve a little bit more on our services :) Hope to see you again! Best regards,

The guide and the pilot of the boat are valued 5 stars for me. They showed us lot of good viewpoints impossible to reach from the coast. We saw dolphins (two different kind of them). I warmly suggest this adventure.

Very good experience with this company. We had a little confusion about the address given by booking and we unfortunately missed the tour. But the owner was kind enough to understand our situation and be comprehensive about it. He helped us get a full refund. We got a chance to talk with him and they seem like a very ethic and friendly tour operator. I really recommend their tours, that we sadly missed, but we will definitely come back if we come back to Lisbon.

We sailed off the coast between Sesimbra and Setubal heading for a good spot, known by the captain!
The crew was very useful to provide info about how to fish and which fishes were good to eat and which not. Very professional and helpful in every detail!

The trip was fun, we even saw a school of dolphins jumping!

The fish was great to cook, at home!

Definetely reccomended!
