A grandiose day on the Atlantic - The trip with Feathers & Scales was simply magnificent. We saw dolphins, a Bryde whale and a shark. Planning our tour with Vasco in advance was perfect. He picked the best day with us very individually. The joy and passion of the F&S team simply takes you away. You have to deal with experts of the ocean, nature lovers and great people. If you are in Lisbon, take the chance and take a trip with Vasco and his F&S team. We will never forget this experience! Maya, Ole and Dirk

An Unforgettable Adventure with Captain Vasco! - This was nothing like your typical tourist boat trip, Captain Vasco takes you on a true voyage out to sea with no set route, no script, and no rules- just pure adventure in search of wildlife! It felt so real and exciting, like we were part of an expedition rather than a tour. We were incredibly lucky to spot whales, multiple species of dolphins that swam right up and under the boat, and even a mako shark that jumped right out of the water in front of us! Every moment was thrilling. Vasco and his friends were amazing hosts- so warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made me and my mum feel completely at home, like old friends rather than passengers. Thank you Captain Vasco, for one of the most unforgettable experiences in Lisbon! Highly, highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something truly special and full of wonder.

I highly recommend! 5 ⭐️ - The boat ride to see the dolphins was simply wonderful! Vasco is an excellent professional, very friendly and passionate about what he does. Always concerned about providing the best experience possible. It was a very well-passed morning. I highly recommend! 5 ⭐️

Baby Dolphins!! - We had a wonderful day out on the boat with Vasco! We saw dolphins several times, including a pregnant mother and a few babies. Even a baby believed to be only a few days old. It was a magical experience, travelling far out to sea and then Vasco brought us back along the coast showing us the beautiful rockery. He was full of knowledge, explaining many things we saw along the way. The boat ride itself is very fun, just make sure you're ready to hold on tight! Vasco is an incredible guy, and if we are ever back in Lisboa we'll be sure to see him again.

Dolphins and pilot whales! Thanks Vasco - Vasco with his joy and passion gave us unforgettable beautiful hours at sea with the marine mammals! We will never forget this experience and thank Vasco from the heart!

Great experience! - We booked the tour without much expectation. All that was important to us was that no animals were taken advantage of, rushed or endangered. And the tour was absolute madness!!! We have been able to observe so many dolphins in their natural environment in a completely relaxed and without other boats. That was a one-off. Vasco as a guide is also a highlight. We would book the tour again anytime. Thanks again 🫶🏻

An unforgettable experience – highly recommended! - We had a truly unforgettable dolphin and whale watching tour today together with Vasco. Even before the actual appointment, he contacted us to find the best possible time with the ideal conditions together – this alone shows how much he cares about the quality of the experience. The tour itself was much more than a typical tourist excursion. There was a familiar, relaxed atmosphere in which you immediately felt comfortable. Vasco not only knows his way around, but lives tangibly with genuine passion for what he does. The animals’ habitat has been treated with great respect, and we have learned an incredible amount about dolphins, whales and their environment – in a very personal and informative way. Throughout the tour we could just let go, marvel and enjoy. It was an experience we will remember for a long time. We would recommend this tour 100% – and are already considering whether we won’t come back again!

Our favorite activity in 3½ days in Lisbon - This dolphin and whale-watching excursion was the highlight of our 3½ days in Lisbon. It was nice to be on the water and we saw hundreds of dolphins swimming alongside us, doing aerial acrobatics nearby, and herding schools of fish to catch. Even saw a Bryde's whale! Vasco kept up a running commentary (English for my friend and me; French for a 3-generation family of 6), covering both scientific information about ocean life and fun things to do in Lisbon. He even stopped to chat with a fisherman friend and asked him to show off his catch to us! The hour-long ride out to the open ocean went by in a flash. We highly, highly recommend this excursion for all ages!

Vasco‘s excursions on the boat are simply the best I had so far in my life! - Vasco offers much more than a tour, he creates unforgettable experiences at sea. If you want to truly experience the ocean, guided by an exceptional host, you should book Feathers & Scales. This was already my third time joining him on a boat excursion and it will certainly not be the last. His trips are unlike the usual tours that just stay close to the coast. With Vasco, you really head far out into the ocean to discover the incredible diversity of marine life. On each of my three excursions, I have seen completely different animals: various dolphin species, fin whales, fascinating seabirds – and even encounters with local fishermen who gave us a glimpse into their daily life at sea. This uniqueness makes every single trip unforgettable. Vasco himself is truly outstanding: highly professional, warm-hearted, and deeply knowledgeable about the entire region and its wildlife. Safety is always guaranteed, and he approaches the ocean and its ecosystems with remarkable respect. That mindset immediately inspires everyone on board. What also sets these excursions apart is the passion of the guests. Marine biology isn’t a side note here – it’s at the core. Often, you’ll meet experts such as renowned photographers or researchers, creating the opportunity for meaningful conversations and exchanges of knowledge. And last but not least: seeing the coastline towards Cape Espichel from the water is simply magical. A view you will never forget!

Encounter with dolphins in their natural environment. - Amazing experience with a super nice guide. We have seen many dolphins. We were even able to swim with them!
