What To Expect
Take the Blue Front on a dolphin observation tour in Sesimbra and discover Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park aboard a family boat. Observe dolphins in their natural habitat. The most frequently spotted species are Tursiops truncatus and Delphinus delphis. Occasionally, moonfish, sharks, whales or orcas can also be spotted. The tour is accompanied by a local marine biologist who speaks Portuguese, English and French fluently, sharing knowledge about the behavior, biology and conservation of these animals, making the educational experience engaging and accessible to visitors from different nationalities. Since animals live in the wild, sightings can never be guaranteed. However, the experience of our team allows you to maximize the likelihood of finding them. The Blue Front has an official license from the ICNF for the activity of observance of cetaceans in the Marine Park Professor Luiz Saldanha. Prepare your camera and come live an unforgettable encounter with the Sesimbra dolphins.

5.00What an amazing experience! We loved Vanessa and the shipper. . They were very nice and even offered us a jacket to borrow, because we didnt bring one. Good to know is that it is a bit cold, so keep that in mind. We enjoyed our trip very much!

5.00I don’t need many words to describe it, it was fantastic! It was the first time we did this kind of activity and it was excellent. We had the opportunity to see a very shy whale and huge dolphins. Thank the blue front team for the sympathy.
Dolphins galore!

5.00We had such a wonderful time on the dolphin boat tour! Vanessa and her father were fantastic guides and shared lots of interesting information about the dolphins. We were lucky enough to see both species that live in the area, which was an unforgettable experience. It’s great to see that they follow the official rules for watching dolphins in the natural park, ensuring the animals are respected and left in peace. The trip also takes you past the famous beach and includes a short visit inside a cave — the perfect ending to a lovely tour. Highly recommended!
Very professional family Enterprise and very kind.

5.00Great experience with Vanessa and Goncalo! We were able to observe dolphins very closely, who played with the boat, remaining very respectful of animals. Vanessa was able to answer all our questions and then sent us the pictures of the outing! My 7-year-old daughter loved it! We highly recommend and the "small committee (7 on the boat) is a real plus. Another big thank you to Blue Front.
Magic moment!!
