Breathtaking! - Today we went on the speedboat to spot dolphins. What a gift we got to see! Breathtaking and lots of dolphins can spot. Guide was very friendly and explained a lot! Really a huge recommendation

Cruise - Magnificent cruise on the Tagus, comfortable boat, unfortunately without having been able to observe a dolphin! Thanks to the crew for the many explanations along the way 👍

could be better - boring. And then for three hours. No dolphin sightings, can happen. Boat had exhaust somehow very near the aft deck, resulting in diesel fumes. Is a boat trip rather than a tour, I heard the lady 3 say something, but was certainly not a sparkling story with all that was to see, and that was quite a lot of monuments.

Nice trip. Ship a bit old. Very friend staff! - Unfortunately, no dolphins that day. Nothing you can do about... Very friendly staff and drinks are for free the entire tour.

Boring Boat Ride - Went on a “dolphin watching” tour mid-afternoon. Started with boat not being ready at the scheduled time. Waited around in the sun for almost an hour. No dolphins (I understand they are wild animals and can’t be controlled), but at least make the boat tour interesting! One staff member going from row to row to point out sights and give a brief description. We found this very boring!!! Should have just taken the yellow boat so we could ride closer to shore and get off to explore.

No engagement / Boring - We had high hopes for this tour but were given no information from our tour guides once on board. The boat was full to the brim to the point one of the guides demanded 10/15 people who had rushed upstairs on a chance dolphin sighting to go downstairs. The ‘open bar’ is one choice of beer and Pepsi max from a 2L bottle. We caught a glimpse of some dolphins spotted by another tourist and not a crew member. No information given about monuments as we passed them and no information given about dolphins. Would not recommend this tour.

No Dolphins and no Marine Biologist - There was not much memorable other than meeting people from various counties. We just cruised around looking for dolphins. There also was the Marine Biologist that went missing, tour read "A marine biologist will be on board to give you all the information you need about these incredible creatures."

to flee - Total scam, we were well over 100 crammed on a boat, full to bursting, the boat moves very slowly so we stay close to the sides which decreases the chance of seeing dolphins that we will never see, 3 hours of deep boredom
