On this small-group dolphin-watching safari from the Algarve you’ll travel out into the Atlantic Ocean with no more than 18 guests. The experience begins with an exclusive briefing by a Marine Biologist who will introduce the cetacean species found along the Algarve coast, explain typical behaviour and outline the importance of responsible wildlife observation.

You’ll continue aboard a fast, comfortable RIB with an experienced skipper and the same Marine Biologist on board. They will interpret sightings as they happen and share insights into dolphin behaviour, marine ecology and conservation. Every safari follows the recognised Code of Conduct for Cetacean Watching to ensure a respectful approach to these wild animals. Along the way you may encounter Common Dolphins, Bottlenose Dolphins and other marine wildlife, and you’ll leave having learned more about these species and the efforts to protect them.
