Excellent would highly recommend - Excellent tour. Maria was a fabulous guide. I had my daughter with me who has special needs and the company were so helpful in arranging a taxi for us and looked after her so well. Brilliant to get so close and learn so much about dolphins.

Beautiful, memorable, and totally worth the time and cost - Fantastic tour! The biologist was knowledgeable about dolphins, geologic and human history in the park. Seeing the dolphins and viewing the coastline was truly a memorable experience. We’ll do it again with friends/visitors!

A Fantastic Outing - We booked our dolphin tour with Day Dream in April 2025. It was an excellent tour and very well organized. We viewed two separate pods of dolphins up close, which was excellent. The biologist on board, Catarina, was superb. She is clearly enthusiastic about dolphins and sea life in general and answered all of our questions with great knowledge. She gave us a history of the area and talked about the ocean sanctuary. André operated the boat with expertise and confidence. I highly recommend Day Dream for anyone looking for a dolphin experience while in Lisbon or surrounding area.

Incredible experience! - This was such a fun experience, we saw so many bottlenose dolphins and our guide, Catarina, was so knowledgeable and friendly! Even though it was March, the water was pretty calm. After seeing the dolphins we were taken on a tour to see the coastline and some beaches which was a nice bonus!

Unforgettable Experience - How cool to see the dolphins from so close. I loved seeing how the guides are very respectful of the marine fauna, you can tell a lot that they like what they do. They taught us the whole coast, from natural beaches to caves. How wonderful to enjoy those corners.

Very respectful and knowledgeable. - The kindness of the guides and explanations were very appreciated. In addition, we can see the love they have for wildlife and respect for it. The many dolphins came to us, it was not a race after them to show us them, which we enjoyed! Afterwards, we approached the cliffs and once again, the information and beauty of it amazed us. I recommend this company 100%, very respectful.

A real adventure! - A real experience! I went with my three kids and they loved it! The weather was not very good but we were able to see the dolphins, on the way we got wet in the rain but the team soon directed us home in a rented car so that we could return more warm and comfortable. Catarina with her sympathy and kindness is an extra. Thanks for everything 👍
