What to expect
We have operated from Praia da Luz since 1988, and this is our core dolphin watching trip, run by RIB three times a day at 09:00, 11:00 and 13:00 (booking one day in advance). We hold Marine-Tourism Operator licence C-121/2010 and a dolphin-watching licence from ICNF (AOC/14/2015).
Because sightings in the wild can never be guaranteed, we offer a free re-board on a later trip if no dolphins are spotted, a guarantee we market as 100 percent. Family and group discounts are available.
Species commonly seen include common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, Risso's dolphin and harbour porpoise, alongside occasional sightings of minke whale, orca, sea turtles and several shark and seabird species.
