Experience an remarkable dolphin watching tour in Lisbon — guided by a marine biologist and thought to support real ocean conservation.
This boat tour begins at the Oceanic Lounge, where you can relax, have a coffee, access restrooms, and receive a safety briefing before departure. From here, you’ll set off along the Tagus River and out to sea aboard a safe and modern vessel, operated by an expert crew.
In partnership with Lisbon Oceanário and ICNF, this experience supports real-time cetacean monitoring — contributing directly to marine research and sustainable tourism in Portugal.
With over 97% dolphins sighting success in open sea, you may also spot whales, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife during the trip.
