FARO Fantastic Dolphin Observation Tour and Marine Life
Overview
Embark on an unforgettable experience and explore the Atlantic Ocean in search of Cetaceans. Enjoy wonderful interactions with dolphins, such as Tursiops truncatus, Delphinus delphis, or even Orcas Orcinus orca and whales, as well as the rest of marine life. Watching cetaceans in Portugal is a regulated activity. So, know that all behaviors and rules are for the safety and well-being of the animals and people aboard. Learn more about the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a saltwater estuary that functions as a maternity and natural habitat for a large number of species of fauna and flora, when we head to the sea in search of the animals. The experience will be guided by me, Skipper Pudim. Local fisherman, from a family of Faro fishermen. With a whole life spent at sea and in Ria Formosa. Passionate about wildlife in general and Ria Formosa in particular. Create memories of a lifetime.
