What to expect

Experience a remarkable dolphin watching tour in Lisbon — guided by a marine biologist and thought to support real ocean conservation.

This boat tour begins at the Oceanic Lounge, where you can relax, have a coffee, access restrooms, and receive a safety briefing before departure. From here, you’ll set off along the Tagus River and out to sea aboard a safe and modern vessel, operated by an expert crew.

In partnership with Lisbon Oceanário and ICNF, this experience supports real-time cetacean monitoring — contributing directly to marine research and sustainable tourism in Portugal.

With over 97% dolphins sighting success in open sea, you may also spot whales, seabirds, and other coastal wildlife during the trip.

As you return toward Lisbon, enjoy panoramic views of the city’s most iconic monuments from the river — a unique perspective few visitors get to experience.

A perfect ending to this meaningful and memorable wildlife experience waits you back at the Oceanic Lounge.
