1.Observation of Dolphins and Whales with Marine Biologist in Arrábida

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 224 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $66Our pick

Watch wild dolphins with a marine biologist off Sesimbra, then explore Arrábida’s cliffs, caves, coves, and clear coastal waters.

“This was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal! We loved getting to ride around and see dolphins and the beautiful coastline outside of Sesimbra. It was so nice having a guide as knowledgeable and passionate as Catarina, she taught us so much about dolphins and the local habitat, as well as conservation efforts in the area. Andre was a great driver - Thank you for the great excursion, Catarina and Andre! We had a wonderful time.”

Boat Tour – Bird Observation in the Tejo Nature Reserve

2.Boat Tour – Bird Observation in the Tejo Nature Reserve

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

Watch flamingos, spoonbills, herons, and more on a three-hour Tagus estuary boat tour with guide Carlos Cera in Lisbon.

“We went on the Boat Trip/ Birdwatching in the Tagus Estuary at the end of February, 2024. This adventure let us observe Lisbon from the water which was a rare treat. Carlos, the guide, pointed out birds we had never seen before such as the Eurasian Spoonbill. We also had a beautiful view of the Vasco da Gama bridge when we went under it. Unfortunately it rained quite hard when we were on this trip so we recommend bringing a rain coat. Carlos was knowledgeable and experienced.”

Dolphins Observation Boat Tour in Nazaré

3.Dolphins Observation Boat Tour in Nazaré

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 28 reviews · 2 hours · from $47Best value

Review of Nazaré’s 2-hour dolphin boat tour, with Canyon views, big-wave stories, practical tips, pricing, and honest advice about seasickness.

“Siendo conscientes de que realmente estamos en alta mar y no es un zoo no tuvimos mucha suerte para ver muchos delfines. Lo que nos gustó menos fue, que la salida tenía que ser de 2 horas, y en hora y media estamos de vuelta en el puerto. Consideramos que podíamos haber estado más tiempo viendo delfines y volver a puerto más tarde, cumpliendo con las 2 horas de salida.”
