About This Tour
You will observe a unique community of bottlenose dolphins, which have permanent residence in the Sado River estuary. This species is larger than the common dolphin and has a darker hue, close to anthracite gray. You can also observe common dolphins, which are smaller and extremely fast. Speaking of speed, our boat is quite fast, which is a big advantage when it comes to finding dolphins, which are wild animals that travel many nautical miles in a short time. Therefore, our success rate in finding these friendly mammals is around 100%. Furthermore, our boat, due to its characteristics, allows for very close observation of dolphins. This way, you'll be able to take fantastic photos and videos of the experience to share with your family and friends. Dolphins are wild and unpredictable animals. We will locate them in different locations, which makes this experience unique and unrepeatable.
