Witness bottle-nose dolphins glide through the sea on this full-day guided sea life sightseeing tour from Lisbon. South of Lisbon, discover one of the 10 most beautiful bays in the world, and explore a natural park and a region known for its wines and cheese. Cruise atop one of the globe’s most scintillating bays in a modern catamaran, and see interesting marine life. You will also voyage to a natural park and learn about it’s history and culture.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Reserva Natural do Estuario do Sado, Rua Claudio Lagrange 8, Setubal 2900-324 Portugal
In Setúbal you will board a modern catamaran, for a relaxing and enjoyable cruise on the Sado Estuary, where you’ll learn about the resident bottlenose dolphins and hopefully be able to observe some wild dolphins in their natural environment. The cruise takes between 2 1/2 to 3 hours (Note: we will be a maximum of 30 minutes close to the dolphins).
See the natural reserve of Arrábida, take in the stunning views, and learn about the area’s history and gastronomy. From the ocean, and before returning to the old city centre of Setúbal you’ll see a few of the region’s historic monuments and sites like the Arrábida Convent and the Saint Filipe Fort.
Before returning to Lisbon, you’ll stop at a few sights in the Arrabida Mountain range, from where you can marvel at the natural reserve and get a “land view” of this region.

My sister and I did the dolphin watching tour on Saturday 15th June, and we had the most amazing day. Huge thank you to Joao who was our guide for the afternoon. He was a fantastic guide, so friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much from him about the history and culture of portugal, and of course the beautiful dolphins. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this tour to everyone
