Are you ready for dolphin watching at Setúbal Bay?

Join our dolphin watching in Setúbal for a truly heartwarming wildlife experience. Setúbal is one of the few places in the world where a resident community of Bottlenose dolphins lives year-round. This 2.5 to 3-hour boat trip is the perfect way to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.

We depart from the Doca das Fontainhas in Setúbal. You will step aboard our comfortable and safe boat, specifically designed for wildlife observation. Our expert guides and marine biologists will share interesting stories about the “Sado Dolphins.” You will learn how to identify individual dolphins by their dorsal fins and understand the importance of protecting this unique ecosystem.

The tour takes you through the calm waters of the Sado Estuary and along the stunning coastline of the Arrábida Natural Park. While the dolphins are the stars of the show, keep your eyes open for other wildlife, such as storks, flamingos, and various seabirds.

Our crew follows a strict code of conduct to ensure the well-being of the dolphins. We keep a respectful distance, allowing the dolphins to approach the boat on their own terms. Seeing them play, jump, and interact with each other is a magical moment that you will never forget.

This tour is an absolute “must-do” for families, nature lovers, and photographers. It’s a peaceful and educational escape just a short drive from Lisbon. Book your dolphin watching in Setúbal today and experience the magic of the Sado Estuary!
