Full description

The sea off Lagos is one of the best places in the Algarve to see dolphins. Common and bottlenose dolphins feed here all year, and in summer you may also see whales, sunfish or sea turtles.

Before departure, the marine biologist explains which species live here and how to watch them without disturbing them. The RIB then heads offshore, and the crew follows responsible watching rules, keeping a respectful distance and letting the dolphins come to the boat.
