Chilly but incredible - We loved our morning on the boat seeing dolphins. It was an overcast day and quite chilly, even though it was a hot day in Lisbon (late July). Definitely check the weather in Sesimbra and bring or wear layers. After about 35 minutes on the water, we spotted lots of dolphins jumping and swimming alongside our boat. It was incredible to see them up close! We also got to see the rocks/caves nearby which were beautiful covered in fog. Despite not being able to get in the water due to the weather, our family with 2 kids, 10 and 13, enjoyed the experience and recommend it.

It was a good tour, but the duration was three hours where we had included seeing the dolphins for half an hour, visit - It was a good tour, but the duration was three hours where we had included seeing the dolphins for half an hour, visiting the Coast and the opportunity to dive. Well that did not happen, we started the tour 20 minutes later than planned and we finished 15 minutes earlier and we did not have the opportunity to dive, without giving us any kind of justification or clarification. I was sad because it was something that we really wanted to do (dive) and we did not have a 3 hour walk, but 2h30.
