The boat is very comfortable although at first I did not think so. You see dolphins very close and given the characteristics of the boat, you move quickly after them and you are in the front row relative to other boats. Then they take you on a very complete tour of the Arrabida and the Sado. We spent more time than you put on a boat trip. Adriana (although we knew it wasn’t in Spanish) came a few times to exolic what we saw. Definitely the best boat tour in Setubal. I highly recommend it.
Maravilhoso

Wonderful tour and very friendly and attentive staff. The boat is small but we feel safe. At the water level the observation is much better. We were lucky to see two groups of dolphins. It's worth it.

We had a great time and saw dolphins, caves, beautiful views of the Arrabida coast from the sea and even had a walk on a beautiful sand bank. Our captain and skipper were friendly and engaged with our kids. I feel we got more than what we expected for the price. Would recommend.
Unique and wonderful!

It was absolutely wonderful! A unique experience that you live once in your life. The operators of "Longitude - Training and Náutico Tourism", natives of Setúbal, were exceptional. They knew the sea and the place like no one and their sympathy and care were always present! Thank you both, Víctor and Fernando! We went with a child and everything went perfectly. The Dolphins were super close and doing acrobatics, but the care and respect for their habitat by our commanders, always present! I've known the mountains since childhood and seeing them from another angle was amazing. Beautiful place, unique experience for the landscape and the Dolphins we saw and the way we went! Recommended to 100%
Life on a Perfect Day!

The day tour of June 1st 2024, was an experience that made me smile all the time it lasted! How I had the opportunity to tell Mr. Victor and Mr. Fernando, it was undoubtedly one of the happiest days I've had in recent times! Everything was perfect, the beautiful landscape, the opportunity to see the dolphins and the beautiful dive at the end of the adventure! But none of this would be possible without the professionalism, sympathy, availability and attention of these two great gentlemen, who offered their knowledge, good disposition and attention to those on the boat traveled! A great good and a great success for the Longitude, and keep for a long time, Mr. Victor and Mr. Fernando, who represent all the best in the Human Being.
