Dolphin Watching Cruise

Explore the remarkable marine life found along the Portuguese coastline with this memorable boat trip dedicated to dolphin observation from Lisbon!

Itinerary for the Dolphin Watching Cruise

Your adventure begins at the designated meeting point, Santo Amaro Docks in Lisbon, where you will board the boat and embark on your journey.

Set sail along the River Tagus, heading towards the Atlantic Ocean. As you glide beneath the iconic 25 April Bridge, admire some of the most significant landmarks of Belém, all while enjoying stunning views of the riverside panorama of Lisbon. During your voyage out to sea, keep an eye out for the Bugio Lighthouse, and take in the breathtaking cliffs and shoreline of Portugal.

As you head further into the ocean, get ready to start searching for dolphins. Watch for these playful creatures swimming, frolicking, and leaping out of the waves. They often travel in pods, so if you spot one, expect to see many more swimming together!

If you're fortunate, you’ll witness these friendly cetaceans drawing closer to the boat, playing in the surrounding waters. You may also have the chance to spot other marine life, including sharks, jellyfish, and perhaps even sea turtles!

Your remarkable journey concludes with a return to Santo Amaro Dock, wrapping up a total experience of 3 hours.
