Sado Estuary Dolphin Watching & Arrábida Tour

  • 25 reviews | 207 travellers
    Excellent. We went quickly to the place where we found them, and there the boat stopped the engines and under the silence of all the spectators we were able to enjoy the dolphins swimming around us. On the way back we went along the shore of ARRABIDA and saw beautiful landscapes.

Sado Estuary Dolphin Watching & Arrábida Tour

We'll pick you up at the indicated time at the Fontainhas Port, where we'll board a boat to go dolphin watching in Setubal Bay, a beautiful area on the Atlantic coast.

This bay is home to a community of dolphins that live here year-round. We'll set sail in search of the friendly bottlenose dolphins and spot these aquatic mammals as they swim and jump out of the water. After, we'll return to the mainland and board a 9-seater vehicle that will take us to the Arrábida Natural Park.

We'll climb its hills and along the way, we'll stop at several viewpoints of historical and scenic interest, and from the top, we'll be able to see the Sado estuary and the Troia peninsula.

Finally, after 3.5 hours of activity, we'll return to the starting point.
