Reviews

"On a Monday in September there weren't many people on the boat and we had a lot of space and privacy. We could see the dolphins after a short time... We were able to take great pictures and were totally impressed by the animals. For us a lot was translated into English, sometimes in a personal conversation. The team put a lot of effort into it. We could jump into the water later and swim around the boat... Overall, it was one of the coolest tours we've ever done. It was just a brilliant experience and I can only recommend anyone who is nearby to go out with Dolphin Bay."

"The trip was very enjoyable. The boat is new, comfortable and with all the conditions for this kind of trip. At the beginning we enjoy the local moscatel wine. Then the crew made all efforts to find the dolphins that we finally found. The crew made us feel at home with a good energy and nice music. I really recommend and will be back."

An awesome trip 🙂 We found Dolphin Bay PT by chance and it was an amazing experience. The crew is nice and knowledgeable and the boat clean and spacious. The whole trip was awesome because we enjoyed a company of a pod of playful dolphins and learned a lot about their life. We would definitely recommend the company to anyone."

Our success rate is very high (about 95% of our tours) as the dolphin population lives in Setubal Bay permanently. Anyway, there are a few days when dolphins are not seen by any vessel.

If your tour is one of the rare days when dolphin spotting is not possible, you will receive a free voucher to reschedule a new date. Dolphin Bay guarantees in this way that by purchasing a ticket you will definitely see dolphins.

Swimming with wild dolphins, in mainland Portugal, is not allowed by law. You can do it on the islands of the Azores and Madeira where it is permitted to swim with dolphins respecting some rules.

Children between 4 and 12 years old benefit from a reduced price of 15 €.

We have all the conditions and security on board to receive babies, you can even get your baby stroller on board. Up to 3 years old the ticket is free.

You can book online on our website; use the contact form; or by phone or email.
