Explore the Atlantic in search of marine wildlife with Marine Biologists on board, and learn more about dolphins in their natural habitat. Discover different species of cetaceans, birds and other marine life in an exciting experience in the Algarve ! Departing from Faro, you will be able to enjoy the landscape of Ria Formosa Natural park while we cruise towards the Atlantic ocean. When outside, the guides will look out for different wildlife, specially for cetaceans! There are great chances to see dolphins like the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) or the Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and if your are lucky we can even spot Orcas or whales. During this trip you will also be able to spot different species of marine birds like the Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus), Shearwaters and Storm Petrels! It is also common to see some other animals such as the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) and some species of sharks or marine turtles. After spotting a group of cetaceans, our team of Marine biologists will provide information about the animals and also collect data for research before we head back to Faro.

Cancelled at relatively short notice

Unfortunately, the boat trip was cancelled at relatively short notice due to waves. We would have had the opportunity to ride the next day at 8.30 am. But as we had 1 hour of approach and the next day predicted strong clouds, we cancelled the boat tour. Driving 2 hours without us really having a good chance was not worth the risk.

I am very picky about what company’s I pick when it comes to animal activities. But this company seemed like the right one, and that was absolutely true. The biologists were very kind, professional and fun. They could tell us alot about the different species that live in the water, and it was amazing to have someone on board that knew alot about orcas. When we found an pod of dolphins they kept an respectable distance and gave the animals the choice to themselves to approach us. They didnt but I did not mind at all. We stayed with the pod for the 30 minutes that was allowed. Awesome to see these amazing animals in the wild! For the boat. It was comfortable and even when there were big waves I felt really safe. The employee steering reacted so quikly to unexpected waves. Loved it :) thank you If you want to do a sightseeing tour while respecting the wildlife, go for this one!
Great experience with a great company

Booked the 11.30 trip as part of an EDT visit to Faro - so glad I did! The 2 marine biologists were great and gave really informative information, not just when we were lucky enough to see bottlenose dolphins, but both before and during the boat trip; I learned interesting info about the area and the marine life of southern Portugal in general. We were a small group of 5 and there was plenty of room on the (very comfortable) RIB - even though the sea was a little lumpy and the breeze quite cool! (Tip- if doing this trip at this time of year, a woolly hat would be a great idea!). We came across a small pod of bottlenose dolphins about an hour into the trip and were able to watch them for around 30 mins (the maximum legally allowed). Loved it!
Great Trip

Very good trip, sea was a bit rough but that added to the experience I thought (aside from making me want to pee the worst I've ever needed). Took a bit to find the dolphins but when we did there was a lot of them, guides reckoned it was different pods socializing there were so many swimming about. Whales are more for spring time I think someone said. Would recommend.
Beautiful and interesting tour

A very nice boat tour with expert guides. With the small speedboat we have already seen the first dolphin group after a short trip. The guides were very responsible. Without hustling the animals, we could still look at them up close. There was also a lot of interesting information. An all-round successful tour that will stay with us for a long time.
Amazing!

Was an amazing experience ❤️ The guides were extremely nice and professional. They did not stop until we had a chance to see as many animals as we can
Cancelled booking 35 minutes before the trip

They cancelled our booking via a WhatsApp message 35 minutes before the trip was due to depart. This completely ruined the last day of our holiday. If we’d been notified earlier we could have booked with a different company but this left us with no other option. Book with a different company to avoid being let down.

Bought this as a birthday present, they cancelled with 30 minutes before because they was not enough people for a 2nd boat more people booked and this meant we could have gone but they refused. No communication and ruined a special time. Would NOT recommend

Worse boat I've ever been on. Your like riding a horse, very weird. Super uncomfortable and very stiff after.
Super good. Tons of dophins, no effort spared. Recommended - do not go elsewhere

This is a genuine great experience, with rea marine biologists who actually care about both the wildlife and your experience. Do not go for any of the cheap tour operators who optimize for profit, chose Ocean Vibes!
