Seafaris

Seafaris (also branded Dolphin Seafaris on some booking platforms) has run boat trips from Marina de Lagos, Loja 5, since 1999. Its flagship vessel, the Tornado, is described on its own site as the largest passenger-carrying inflatable boat in Europe, powered by twin turbine engines chosen to minimise disturbance to dolphins, and the company reports a roughly 95 percent success rate for finding dolphins on its watches. Tours depart from Lagos Marina, with departures also run from Praia da Rocha Marina, and include Dolphin Watching (1.5-2 hours, EUR 27.90), a Benagil Caves trip (2 hours, EUR 27.90), a Ponta da Piedade coastal cave tour (1h15, EUR 14.90), a Coastal Cruise with Cave Visit (2 hours, EUR 17.90), a Brunch & Sea Breeze cruise (3 hours, EUR 19.90) and private boat charter. A qualified biologist accompanies the dolphin-watching trips. Bookings are handled through FareHarbor. Seafaris publishes active Facebook and Instagram accounts, and states cancellations made more than 24 hours ahead qualify for a full refund.
