About this activity
Olhao: Safari Watching Dolphins and other species heads out to the feeding grounds where common and bottlenose dolphins are seen year round. It leaves from Faro area, so you are close to the Ria Formosa lagoon and the walled old town before anything starts. It runs in the afternoon. It uses a small boat, so it can go into the narrower gaps in the rock. Prices start at €39.97 per person, and we list every seller carrying it side by side so you can see who is cheapest today.
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.
