Reviews





Do we always see dolphins? What is tour success rate?
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.
What if I can't see dolphins on my tour?
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.
Is it possible to swim with 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.
What is the price for children? Can babies also board?
Children between 4 and 12 years old benefit from a reduced price of 15 €.
