We loved the activity. Both Marta and the captain did their best to find the dolphins. We saw a family of dolphins for quite some time. Also, the trip through the ocean was unforgettable. Totally recommended. Thank you very much!

Description

Enjoy a tranquil boat ride across the Atlantic Ocean. You'll admire common and bottlenose dolphins as well as spectacular views of the Lagos coastline!

Lagos Dolphin Watching

At the agreed time we'll meet at the train station and set off for the Marina de Lagos, a short walk away.

Once we arrive we'll climb onboard a speedboat to sail along the Atlantic Ocean, heading straight to the best spots for dolphin sightings. As we enjoy views of the coast, we'll listen to fascinating information from an expert in marine life.

Hopefully, we'll get the chance to see both common and bottlenose dolphins, and they may even swim right past the boat so you can see them up close!

After a 2-hour boat ride, we'll head back to the starting point.

Important information

There is around a 90% probability of spotting a dolphin, however, the behaviour of wild animals is unpredictable and we can't guarantee a 100% probability of seeing one.

Nos ha encantado la actividad. Tanto Marta como el capitán se han esforzado al máximo para encontrar a los delfines. Hemos avistado a una familia de delfines durante bastante tiempo. Además, el paseo por el Océano ha sido inolvidable. Totalmente recomendable. Muchas gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

Hemos disfrutado muchísimo. Somos un matrimonio con 2 niñas de 10 y 8 años, una de ellas con movilidad reducida y han sido todo facilidades. La excursión ha sido preciosa, hemos visto delfines desde muy cerquita y muchas veces y la sensación de ir en ese tipo de embarcación ha despertado todos nuestros sentidos. Gracias Translate this opinion into English.

Una experiencia fantástica e inolvidable. Nuestros guías Joaquim y George nos llevaron a ver delfines, nos contaron muchas cosas sobre ellos y fueron maravillosos con nosotros. Una excursión recomendable cien por cien y aún más si vas con niños aunque disfrutamos pequeños y mayores Translate this opinion into English.

A fantastic and unforgettable experience. Our guides Joaquim and George took us to see dolphins, they told us many things about them and they were wonderful with us.

La actividad emocionante . Tanto el paseo en lancha como el avistamiento de delfines. Las dos personas que nos acompañaron en la lancha, profesionales y dispuestos a explicar todas las dudas, incluso se ofrecieron a hacer una foto al grupo. Muy agradables. A la vuelta nos acercamos a la costa donde pudimos apreciar pequeñas playas y cuevas. Por poner una pega, duró algo menos del tiempo estipulado. Translate this opinion into English.

The exciting activity. Both the boat ride and the dolphin watching. The two people who accompanied us on the boat, professional and willing to explain all doubts, even offered to take a photo of the group. Very nice. On the way back we approached the coast where we could see small beaches and caves. To put a catch, it lasted a little less than the stipulated time. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue excelente, sin duda toda una aventura.. El ir en La lancha todo un reto, pero llegamos mar adentro y allí estaban los bancos de delfines prometidos ... Una belleza ,sin igual !!!!!... No, exenta, por cierto y al menos en mi caso del mareo consiguiente, al seguir la lancha parada el vaivén de las olas, nada pequeñas ...una experiencia retadora e inolvidable!!!!! Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was excellent, without a doubt an adventure... Going by boat was a challenge, but we got out to sea and there were the promised schools of dolphins... A beauty, unparalleled !!!!!... No , exempt, by the way and at least in my case from the consequent dizziness, when following the boat stopped the swing of the waves, nothing small ... a challenging and unforgettable experience!!!!!
