Dolphin Watch - Guided Tour

About this experience

The Dolphin Watch Guided Tour is a boat-based wildlife excursion departing from Lisbon, taking passengers into the waters of the Tagus estuary and the Atlantic coast to observe common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and occasionally other cetaceans in their natural habitat. Lisbon sits at the mouth of the Tagus, where river and ocean conditions support resident dolphin populations year-round. During the tour, a guide provides commentary on dolphin behaviour, local marine ecology, and the coastal geography visible from the water. Sightings are wildlife-dependent and not guaranteed, though operators typically report high encounter rates. Tickets cover the guided boat trip, onboard commentary, and return to the departure point. Check available departure times and seasonal schedules when selecting a date.
