5.00Amazing! We made a trip with Pedro and we loved it! In addition to being extremely careful with the dolphins, he managed to get us to see them super close! Asked to explain more about the species, and we loved it! Very friendly, very good organization! No doubt a walk that we will do again!
An unforgettable Sunset with the Salt Routes

5.00I loved the Sunset experience with the Salt Routes. The team is fantastic, always attentive and well-meaning, making everything even more special. We had DJ on board, very fresh oysters, delicious snacks and a simply magical Mood. I first did this activity with friends from work and the experience was so good that I returned later in family. And I can say it was just as memorable. The landscape, the energy, the professionalism of the team and the relaxed Mood make this tour something unique and to repeat without any doubt. Highly recommended, both for groups of friends and families.
Do not treat clients with respect

1.00No dolphins, no explanations, nothing, just 3 hours on a water. In the end, the captain proposed the next tour for free for everyone. I explained that we are leaving Portugal and can not do the next tour. I asked to return part of money, but they refused. It's so unfair.
Unforgettable experience

5.00I wasn't expecting such a wonderful walk. It reminded me forever of this day. Unique and spectacular. We were lucky to see the dolphins very close and to dive. I will definitely come back.
Loud music ruins the experience!

1.00Seeing the dolphins is an amazing experience. Unfortunately, we were captured from a girls party on the boat, supported by the team with loud music. If he wanted to dance, I'd have bought a ticket to a disco. It ruined the whole experience.
Gorgeous three hours and loads of dolphins

5.00Gorgeous boat, three hours on the water. We saw loads of dolphins, playing and jumping. Quite magical. The tour is very respectful of them in the wild, keeping a safe distance and only three boats allowed in that water at the same time. Lovely jaunt along the coastline afterwards. Beautiful way to spend a sunny afternoon. It’s worth taking a light coverup for when the boat is moving fast as the wind can feel chilly, but highly recommend this tour.
Unforgettable experience!

5.00Unforgettable experience! Saw the dolphins 15 minutes in to the tour. The tourguide gave us information about the dolphins and speaks fluent English. The boat was large enough for us. After our time with the dolphins was up we went for a 45 min boat ride around the beautiful beaches and other highlights of the area. I 100% recommend this tour.
