Are you ready to go dolphin-watching in Salema?
On this dolphin-watching tour from Salema, we will take you on a boat trip to search for wild dolphins and watch them closely in their natural habitat. This boat starts at the beach of Salema and takes about 1,5 hours. Be ready for the highlight of your holiday in the Algarve!
Finding the wild sea mammals is a very special experience, you will be able to see them from close in their natural environment. There is no way to describe the feeling and emotions these incredible dolphins swimming in the open ocean give us. A combination of excitement, admiration and at the same time calm and tranquillity.
We depart from Praia da Salema (Salema beach), located on the Costa Vicentina, the Southwest Coast of the Algarve in Portugal. This geographical location is the point of passage for many dolphins, whales and other marine life.
Our boat is a very safe boat, in fact, rigid inflatable boats are many times used for rescues. Onboard we will provide you with mandatory lifejackets and if windy, we can also arrange a wind jacket. We always recommend bringing warm clothes, as even in the summer months it can get fresh aboard.
