Dolphin Watching Cruise

Discover the incredible wildlife that lives off the coast of Portugal: enjoy this dolphin-watching boat trip from Lisbon!

Dolphin Watching Cruise Itinerary

After meeting at the scheduled time at Santo Amaro Docks in Lisbon, you'll board the boat for your dolphin-watching adventure. Begin by cruising down the River Tagus towards the Atlantic Ocean, sailing under the 25 April Bridge and past Belém's monuments, providing views of Lisbon's riverside. As you head to sea, you'll see the Bugio Lighthouse and the rugged coastline of Portugal.

While cruising out to the ocean, you'll search for dolphins swimming, playing, and jumping out of the water. They often travel in pods, so if you spot one, others are likely nearby.

With some luck, you may also see other marine life, including sharks, jellyfish, and sea turtles. At the end of this experience, you'll return to Santo Amaro Dock after a total of 3 hours.

Important information

Dolphins are common in this area of Portugal. However, as they live freely and are unpredictable, sightings cannot be guaranteed on your trip.
