Tour of a lifetime! - We are so glad we booked our dolphin tour with Pudim boat tours! We were fortunate to be the only 4 on the trip, Nuno communicated with me and even contacted me to suggest a morning tour instead of afternoon because of the weather conditions. He was kind enough to start a little later to allow us time to get to Faro. We had such an amazing time, Nuno is extremely knowledgeable and passionate. We firstly found some bottle nose dolphins and spent half an hour with the pod, then we went further out to sea and briefly found some common dolphins before Nuno spotted a Bryde Whale in distance, we saw her come up for air several times which was amazing. On the way back we bumped into the pod of bottle nose dolphins again, Nuno stopped so we could see them again before heading back to Faro. It was definitely the highlight of our holiday here in the Algarve. Our children 20 & 16, both loved being out with Skipper Pudim. We would all highly recommend this tour & will do it again if we return.

Perfect - Pudim will meet you at the harbour after messaging you via WhatsApp the location and time (as booked). Then we started to go out on the atlantic, not far and we saw our first group of dolphins. We stayed with the group for 30 minutes and then went on to another group of dolphins we spotted 2 km away. In summary perfect experience.

Perfect morning with a Real Local - Wonderful morning spent looking for marine life. Our guide was from a local fishing family and couldn’t have been nicer of more knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to just be the two of us (although he never takes a big group) he explained all the species found in and around faro and had a deep respect for the marine life. Once out we were lucky enough to see two types of dolphins. They were hunting so we didn’t get so see them really close but to see them doing what nature intended was just as beautiful. The scenery is wonderful and he took us back fast his home fishing village which was just lovely. Couldn’t recommend more. So much nicer than these over commercialised boat tours you see.
