Lisbon: Dolphin Watching with a Marine Biologist - Ocean Safari
Overview
Our main goal is to find dolphins! Depart from Lisbon on a fast Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). The adventure starts on a speedboat on the search for dolphins in the wide Atlantic Ocean. Before leaving the Tagus Estuary through the river mouth, you will pass under the 25th of April bridge. You will see the beautiful monuments in Belem neighbourhood, and head into the Sea. Get the best view from the Atlantic Coastline, on a comfortable and safe 8.5m RIB.
We will scan the ocean in the search for wildlife using several techniques, just like a scientist, and you will play an important role in helping us find them. Get to know the different cetacean and seabirds species with an expert Marine Biologists. During 3 hours, you will experience the adventure of looking for wild marine species, like sunfish, sharks, jellyfish, whales or even sea turtles, so close to Lisbon. We want you to get to know them closer. Embark on this Odyssey of nature tourism with an expert. The tour can be done in 2 boats
