Dolphin Safari
Overview

Mobile ticket
Unlike many cetacean observation activities, our priority is to provide an authentic and respectful encounter with wildlife. We operate alongside the impressive Nazaré Canyon, one of the largest underwater cannons in Europe, a zone rich in marine biodiversity that attracts several species throughout the year.
We strictly follow good practices of responsible observation, ensuring that animals are never chased or disturbed. We believe that the real magic lies in observing the dolphins free, behaving naturally in their environment.
In addition to marine life, this experience offers privileged views of the coast of Nazareth and the opportunity to navigate one of the world’s most iconic ocean areas, known for its giant waves and the extraordinary richness of the marine ecosystem.
Every exit is different, each encounter is genuine and every moment is an opportunity to create a deeper connection with the ocean and nature.

Too bad and still fun

3.00It is and remains nature and it is not on call. So no guarantee you'll spot the dolphins too. We were unlucky, that can happen. But the captain and guide did their best to find them and the trip was really fun.
The highlight of our vacation

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The dolphin safari in Nazaré was an unforgettable experience for our family with two children (8 and 16 years old). We had a lot of fun and were able to observe the dolphins up close. We felt very well taken care of and safe at all times. Thanks to the crew! For us, it was one of the most beautiful days of our lives. Absolutely recommended!
Invigorating even without dolphins

5.00The ride lasts two hours round trip. The zodiac is comfortable with the seats. Very nice staff. We were accompanied by Beatrice. Lovely. On the other hand, the sea too strong and no dolphins despite the efforts of the pilot to screen the area.

5.00In short: MEGA The crew were affectionate towards the children and brought a lot of understanding for the parents. It took us a while to find dolphins. We thought we didn't see any, but then we discovered a pack. And it was just beautiful. It was all very nice. Very nice crew, a great experience. A great overall package

1.00I did the experience on September 16 and we couldn't see the dolphins. I know it can be complicated, but when someone pays for a service, I want to be sure or receive a full discount on the price for the next trip. For example, if I go to see a concert or a game and it doesn't take place, I get a full refund or a total bonus for the next event. BEWARE of this agency that promises to see dolphins without the possibility. Lost money. I give it to 1. I did the experiment on September 16 and we could not see the dolphins, I know it can be complicated, but when someone pays for a Service wants to be sure or get a total discount on the price of the trip, such as if I go to see a concert or a game and this does not take place, is refunded completely or is given a total bonus for the next event.

Perfectly lovely, informative and friendly staff, sadly we only saw 2 dolphins, however the children loved the experience.

5.00The walk was spectacular. Beatriz has always been attentive to our concerns. Vasco ended the trip with some boat acrobatics, which were very funny.
Recommended experience, but it was not in Spanish as I booked.

4.00Experience highly recommended, the truth that you can see the dolphins very closely. The only downside was that I booked the experience in Spanish and then the guide spoke in English/Portuguese. It is a mistake to give an option that the client will not be given. If I had known I would have chosen another Experience or Enterprise to understand what they were explaining.
Beautiful meeting with the dophins
