Amazing experience

5.00Amazing experience! Even if it's not guaranteed (95% still), we've been able to see some dolphins, mothers and child at two different places in the area. Bart was a lovely guide through this trip, a true lover of the sea and of the different animals living thanks to it. It was 3 hours to reconnect with nature, and to admire one of the so many beautiful thing it provide. I recommend blindly, take advice to take a jacket or something to cover-up, it can be cold on the boat.
Great experience

5.00An absolutely amazing experience with Seaview! The guide and captain were extremely welcoming and warm. Although the visit was originally planned in English, they took the time to guide us in French, which really made a difference. They are very kind and very professional. We had the chance to see dolphins, a magical moment! But what has struck me most is their respect for animals and their natural habitat. We feel that they are passionate and have very good knowledge about marine animals. The trip ended with a short sea tour with a very pleasant visit, all in a relaxed and attentive atmosphere. They really take care of their customers from start to finish. I recommend 100%! 🌊✨
Extremely fun and...

5.00It was a very great trip with the captain and the marine biologist. They were very anxious that we could see dolphins and in the end we could observe a whole dolphin family. Riding the boat over the waves was very fun. Thank you for the great experience! Bettina and Elena

5.00Bart is very charismatic and caring, same goes for the skipper on the day. On the way of our dolphin search, we enjoyed views of the beautiful Portuguese coastline. The dolphin sighting after the storm that hit Portugal was going to be a bit of a challenge, but Bart and the skipper did their utmost to make it happen, and WOW, we encountered a small group of dolphins that surrounded us, checking us out. It was magical seeing them in their natural habitat. Another group contacted Bart and skipper that they have encountered another larger breed of dolphins, so we rushed to their area and enjoyed ANOTHER sighting! Thank you Diogo for coordinating. Thank you Bart and Skipper for being determined to give us the ULTIMATE experience to see dolphins. You are champions!
Super great experience

5.00First was very good communication. They knew where the meeting place was. Good instruction and help with putting on the life jackets. The guide (Diego) was great, the translator was super nice and the boat driver just a cool guy. We have seen dolphins and learned a lot about them. Would book this tour again immediately.
Wonderful

5.00Competence, sympathy and good disposition were qualities that were always present on this wonderful tour. Dolphins, landscapes and monuments were the attractions that the skipper provided us with due enlightenment.
