About this activity
Join local professionals on a 2-hour boat safari in Algarve waters to watch dolphins in their natural habitat, spotting multiple species and other marine wildlife in the Ria Formosa.
Common and bottlenose dolphins live off this coast year round, and the boats that look for them work a wide search area rather than a fixed route.
The activity itself runs for about 3 hours, and you should allow roughly 3 hours 15 minutes in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Faro area. It is run in English and Portuguese.
It suits families. The pace is moderate. Most people manage it comfortably. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.
Flexible. 2 hours; start times at booking.
