An unforgettable afternoon! Highly recommended! - Of course, it all depends on the hoped-for success of meeting the dolphins. It worked and was a great experience! The briefing at the beginning was already helpful, the speedboat ride, the ecological angle and the explanations of the crew, the stunts with the boats on the return trip including a warm tea and Pastel de Nata for the final reflection make the whole thing an incomparable experience that was worth every cent! Thanks to Mariana, Raquel and the Captains! Thanks to Jorge for the WhatsApp contact in advance!

We were really lucky to get a clear 10 out of 10 - It was absolutely wonderful. We met and accompanied a group of about 20 dolphins. The team is also a 10 out of 10. You must have made this trip. The boat trip is also really brisk and great fun.

Magic moment - Great home. The building is early at the bottom of the doc. The explanations are perfect. The really visible dolphins took a lot of time to admire them and all this while respecting their natural environment. At the end tower important monuments within our reach. Nothing to say perfect!!!!

nice little adventure - Terra Incognita took really good care of us. It was a fun trip just outside the crowded city with lots of dolphins around us. So cool!

The most dolphins I’ve ever seen!!! - This was a last minute added excursion for our group but ended up being one of our favorites. We saw dozens of dolphins and even a whale sighting. That doesn’t happen often from what our guide told us. Seemed the smaller boat makes it possible to get close and not interrupt dolphins in their natural habitat. It does get cold on the way out , a good coat, coat with a hood , and even light gloves are a good idea. It was late Sept so that may not be an issue during the summer. Wonderful experience, worth the time to do it.

Dolphin watching in Lisbon - We booked this trip through the Oceanarium and had an incredible experience with Vanessa and João! We learned a lot about the dolphins and the marine life in the Tejo. We got lucky and saw Orcas which made the whole experience unforgettable. We hope the Oceanarium keeps up the good work on educating the public about the importance of preserving life in the ocean.

Dolphins near Lisbon - What a fantastic visit! We had the opportunity to see a huge group of super interactive dolphins (about 50). Mariana and Francisco, who we were with, are of the most spectacular that exists! We really recommend!

Dolphin tour with ZERO dolphins !?!? - No dolphins on a dolphins tour! The only dolphins we saw was on the presentation before the actual dolphin tour started. We rode on the boat for 2.5hrs trying to find birds that would lead us to the dolphins, but in the end we saw no dolphins! We did stop a few times to pick up plastic bottles left in the ocean which was probably the most eventful topic during the tour. After giving up and driving us back, they said that it's never guaranteed. They suggested they could book us in again but had no availability in the afternoon session and we were going home the next day. They refused a partial or complete refund, so in all, it was a very expensive boat ride collecting rubbish left in the sea! The marine biologist did seem disappointed for us and very passionate about her job and the ecology. Shame......
