Dolphin Watching in Portimão

Watch the Video of this Trip:

Trip Summary:

Best thing about this trip: Adrenaline, adventure, speed, dolphin watching. This was the first dolphin safari company in the Algarve. It has more than 20 years of experience, and the crew is the same since the company started these trips, so they have a lot of experience and know well where the dolphins are. During the trip, the passengers can have a biology class on board, since the crew talks a lot about the different species of cetaceans they will encounter. The trip is spectacular!

Departure Point: Marina de Portimão, Praia da Rocha.

Route: There is no route, the boat goes to the migratory areas where dolphins normally swim. It can go from half a mile up to 25 miles from shore.

Duration: 1h30 to 2h

How likely are we to see dolphins? 95% (the staff are very experienced on this trip so the probability is very high).

Boat Summary:

Best thing about this boat: Is a semi-rigid that travels at high speed, but is very safe (these are the boats used in the North Atlantic to carry out rescues as they do not sink and are extremely safe). Travels at a speed of about 30 knots to encompass a larger cetacean search area. A great advantage is that these boats are very low and therefore people have a greater interaction with the dolphins and can have a unique experience as they can get very close to the dolphins.

Type: Semi-rigid (RIB).

Motor or Sailing: Motor.

Maximum Capacity: 12 people + 2 crew.

Toilet: No.

Access for people with reduced mobility.
