Good to Know

The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, departing from Marina de Lagos. Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time. While dolphin sightings have a 97% success rate, they cannot be guaranteed as you're observing wild animals in their natural environment.

This tour is suitable for all ages, though children must be accompanied by an adult. The boat is not wheelchair accessible. Bring sun protection, a hat and a camera for photos. No pickup or drop-off services are provided, so you'll need to make your own way to Marina de Lagos.

The vessel maintains high safety standards and all staff are trained in safety procedures. Listen carefully to the safety instructions from your guide before departure. Weather conditions may affect the tour route, but your experienced skipper will adapt to find the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

Lagos offers excellent coastal experiences beyond dolphin watching. Consider exploring the dramatic rock formations on a Benagil Cave tour from Lagos to see the Algarve's famous sea caves.
