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

5.00How to spend a wonderful morning! The climatic conditions, the state of the sea and the super attentive and always friendly tribulation made the tour to see dolphins an unforgettable experience! And they provided an excellent “show”, with acrobatic jumps and all! I highly recommend! Some records remain!

5.00It's a very good walk. The staff is attentive and professional, the experience was super fun. We started with the search and recognition of dolphins, passed by the explanation of their behavior and, on the return, a brief historical explanation of some of the rivery monuments of the city of Lisbon, which made the experience even more interesting. I saw the kids perfectly delighted with the experience!! I want to repeat!! Thanks Seaview
Seaview ... What else?? 👍
