Full of emotions day! - Absolutely amazing experience. We’ve seen dolphins and follow them, while they were playing together. Even bad weather didn’t affect the trip. Such a friendly stuff!

Observationndauphins - Beautiful boat trip to observe dolphins and hunting scenes. Back along the coast, stop in front of a beach "the most beautiful in Europe" for swimming. Ready windbreaker (it is cold in boat) very friendly staff.

Unforgettable experience, loved every minute! - We loved it! The whole experience was great, the crew is very professional and helpful -- I forgot to take a jacket and Chantel (our guide) promptly offer to find me one, for which I was very grateful as it was very windy and rather cold out on the water. Our guide was knowledgeable not just about marine life but also about the local history and geology, and was happy to answer all our questions. The boat looks new and was very clean. We felt safe at all times. Spotting the dolphins and then seeing them come closer and swimming along next to the boat is magical. Thank you Day Dream team for an unforgettable day! Will definitely do it again.

An unforgettable experience for the whole family! - We were today with our family (children 8 and 7 years) on the boat tour and are absolutely delighted! We were able to observe many dolphins in their natural habitat – a beautiful sight. The spectacle of the birds skillfully catching the fish was also particularly impressive. The whole tour was excellently organised and the crew were incredibly friendly and helpful – a big thank you for that! We will definitely come back. Thank you for this great experience!!!

An Amazing Experience with Dolphins - We really enjoyed this trip and seeing so many dolphins - as well as spotting a blue shark. It was an amazing experience, made all the better by Catarina's knowledge of this species. She is really wonderful!

Amazing Tour! - Amazing trip in an amazing area. I would absolutely head over to Sesimbra again for this because the town is so beautiful and there're amazing beaches that need some time to get to. You could totally put your stuff in a dry bag, get off at one of them and hike back! Captain and Catarina were super fun, friendly and informative. Def put sunscreen on and wear a hat that can't fly away haha!

Perfect - Brilliant trip! The guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic, we saw a ton of dolphins, went along the coast and looked at some cool rocks and beaches, and even went in a cave in the boat! Well worth the money and highly recommended
