We recently took a dolphin-watching water tour with this company, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Jose and Diogo, were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The boat was in excellent condition, and the tour itself was both thrilling and serene. We were fortunate to see several dolphins up close, which was truly magical. Jose and Diogo’s passion for the ocean and its inhabitants was evident and added so much to the experience. We felt safe, well-informed, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable adventure on the water. Thank you, Jose and Diogo, for making our day so special!

I recently had the pleasure of joining a dolphin-watching tour led by Captain Jose and Captain Diogo, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we boarded the boat, their professionalism and passion for marine life were evident. The highlight, of course, was seeing the dolphins up close. I highly recommend this tour and I'm very thankful.

I wanna take the opportunity to thank so much both José and Carolina for one of the greatest experience we have ever made in our life, that is the spectacular meeting of Whales 🐋 and Dolphins 🐬 during this morning's (26 May) boat trip! It was really amazing what José and Carolina made us experience. It felt like to be in a dream, we did daydream, looking at one of the most spectacular wildlife show a man can see! The skilful explanations and all the good indication given by José were really useful and inspiring. On the way back home we were so lucky, being aware that all this was not simply due to the luck (!), because we met also a Puffin and a Moon fish!! All this took my breath away, with shivers going down my spine... Once again thanks for today’s marvellous adventure.

Pedro and Jose were excellent, it made all the difference having marine biologists to guide us. And we not only saw a dolphin, we saw several whales! As it was my birthday, I feel fortunate to have spent my special morning with the team. Thank you!

This was a great excursion to take part in. We were very lucky to be able to see lots of dolphins. Fernando and Jose were really friendly and very knowledgeable about the dolphins. We would really recommend this to anyone visiting Faro!

Super fun and great team! Explained plenty about the dolphins and super trip. Of course extra lucky that two dolphin groups decided to come and say hi. If you have the chance do this, instead of any aquarium or similar enclosed areas. Here the you get to see them in their natural habitat.

Although we did not see any dolphins (sometimes its just not in our hands) it was a great trip. The guides were excellent, it was a lot of fun and in the end we did see a turtle and a whale. I can recommend!

We saw a lot of dolphins! The tour guide was very enthousiastic and gave a lot of info about the multiple kinds of dolphins. After the tour he helped me out of the boat when I almost fell into the water😂 It was fun, awesome and we were luckyto see two kinds of dolphins. The tour guide followed the dolphins and they came to the boat. They came really close and it made the experience so fun!
