We have been keen on birdwatching for few years and were eager to add some new species to our lifelist. Our trip started the oprators winter season (more migratory birds around after summer). Before the trip we got a massage to bring our own jackets, since it will be cooler on the river. The jackets were needed when speeding to birdsites and back, but when moving slowly around the birdwatching sites, it was quit warm. Big rubber boat was steady and going was smooth since the river is seldom rough. You could sit quite comfrotably, a bit like on horseback. Biologist who guided the tour knew well the local birds and had a leaflet of pictures of the birds and used them to help us identify what we saw. For birdphotographing, we would have liked to get more closer to the subjects, but that was not possible because of the shallow water. This was a little disapointment, but with Sony RX10iv, we could get enough good pictures. And the life list - most of the birds we had already seen elsewhere, but there were also four new ones to us, like black-winged stilt and spoonbill. So for us the birdwatching boat tour near Lisbon was worthwhile.

We joined Sid and his mate for a birdwatching tour of the Tagus Estuary. Saw hundreds of Flamingos, along with other shore birds (avocet, whimbrel, osprey, little egret, shelduck, marsh harrier, Kentish plover, ruddy turnstone, terns and gulls galore, etc.). Boat is fast and gets you to birding grounds (across a very wide section or the Tagus) in no time. Was a windy day, but not cold, so the boat kicked up some spray, which added to the excitement. Sid is knowledgeable and very amiable, so couldn’t ask for a better guide. Also, the views of Lisbon from the water are stunning.

Wild bumpy ride to the estuary. The leader pulled over to check on us and offered to cancel. We wanted to go forward. Birding was average but you can only see what was there. Everyone was nice and helpful. The leader was very kind and knowledgeable.

Having such a possibility to observe seabirds from this close is amazing! Sid and the team did a great job on keeping us engaged all the time. We saw many interesting species in their natural habitat, drifting or hunting in the water. If you go in winter months, make sure to dress properly, as ocean breezes are very chill. Highly recommended!

We had a blast on out sea birds boat tour. It was my first ever time watching birds in the open waters and it was amazing! I haven't even dreamed to see this wonderful creatures so close! The main highlight for us was a small puffin and a dozen of razorbills. If you are a fan of birds I sincerely recommend you this tour. And one important tip for you - get dressed well! The wind is very strong and in winter is very cold, so be prepared!

I absolutely recommend going on a tour with SeaEO Tours! We did the Tagus estuary birdwatching tour, the first trip of this season and it was a fantastic experience. Sid is very knowledgable, gave information on all the birds we saw, even about Lisbon itself, and takes care to enjoy the birds responsibly, without disturbing them. We saw many different bird species, flamingos, spoonbills, storks, just to name a few. It was a great, memorable tour, we’ll definitely be back on one of SeaEO’s tours next time we visit Lisbon.

Took this birdwatching tour on March 31 with Sid. Had a great time and so many birds including flamingos, egrets, osprey, ect. Sid was a great guide and it was a quick trip from Lisbon to the estuary. Would recommend this tour for anyone interested in nature; I really wanted to see flamingos and this tour did not disappoint! Would highly recommend this tour to see another part of Portugal.

We had a very good day of birdwatching at the Tagus Nature Reserve. There were large numbers of birds to see. Cid was an interesting guide, and informed us about other animals in the reserve, as well as the birds.
