Are you ready to go on the Sagres dolphin-watching tour?
This Sagres dolphin-watching tour takes approximately 1,5 hours and departs from the Baleeira harbor in Sagres. Dolphin watching in the Algarve is one of the best-sellers among adventurous families.
Sagres is a sanctuary and a migration point for various dolphin species, including common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, harbor porpoises, Risso’s dolphins, and striped dolphins. Occasionally, our tours also encounter other magnificent marine animals such as minke and fin whales, hammerhead and blue sharks, basking sharks, sea turtles, and even orcas.
Our dolphin safari begins with a brief orientation led by an experienced nature guide, covering safety precautions and how we’ll locate and observe dolphins. Every trip includes a Marine Biologist on board, who will share fascinating insights about the marine species we encounter along the Sagres coastline.
The highlight of the tour is finding and stopping near wild dolphins, giving you the rare chance to observe these incredible animals up close in their natural environment. Watching dolphins swim freely in the wild is a truly unforgettable experience. With a success rate of over 95% in spotting marine life, our team is dedicated to promoting sustainability. We proudly partner with marine conservation organizations to protect and conserve marine biodiversity.
We provide life jackets for all passengers, and wind jackets if needed. We recommend bringing warm clothing—even in summer—as well as sunscreen, water, and a camera or smartphone.
Due to high speeds and sometimes choppy seas, this tour is not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with back or spine issues, or those who have recently had surgery.
Our sturdy rigid inflatable boat is exceptionally safe—often used for rescue operations—ensuring both adventure and security on your journey. Come experience the thrill of encountering some of the ocean’s most beautiful mammals in their natural habitat on this Sagres dolphin-watching tour!
