Highly recommended! - We had such a wonderful time on the dolphin boat tour! Vanessa and her father were fantastic guides and shared lots of interesting information about the dolphins. We were lucky enough to see both species that live in the area, which was an unforgettable experience. It’s great to see that they follow the official rules for watching dolphins in the natural park, ensuring the animals are respected and left in peace. The trip also takes you past the famous beach and includes a short visit inside a cave — the perfect ending to a lovely tour. Highly recommended!

Great experience with dolphins - Great experience with Vanessa and Goncalo! We were able to observe dolphins very closely, who played with the boat, remaining very respectful of animals. Vanessa was able to answer all our questions and then sent us the pictures of the outing! My 7-year-old daughter loved it! We highly recommend and the "small committee (7 on the boat) is a real plus. Another big thank you to Blue Front.

A beautiful morning at sea - We had a lovely boat trip in Sesimbra to see dolphins and found them almost right away! They were shy but magical to watch, and we saw quite a few. The tour also took us past some natural beaches and beautiful caves, with interesting stories about the area’s history along the way. The guides were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. They offered us some delicious local treats and refreshments. We had a wonderful time and would 100% recommend it.

Dolphin discovery off Sesimbra - Beautiful discovery of the bottlenose dolphin, in family with two great teenagers. Many thanks to Vanessa who is a biologist specializing in “pilot whales” and Gonzalo for all the scientific explanations. They made us discover dolphins in an environmentally friendly way. We also discovered the caves along the coast. We had a great morning, this is an experience we recommend.

Magical dolphin experience - Fabulous morning adventure! My teenage youth loved following the dolphins and learning about their habits. Seeing the dolphins swim right next to the boat was magical. I really appreciate the time that was taken to answer career questions for my teenager interested environmental science. Thank you for an amazing morning!
