What you can expect
Explore the Arrabida coast on a cruise from Setúbal. Watch dolphins play in their natural habitat, sail by the Troia Peninsula, and marvel at the turquoise water.
Depart from Setúbal and head out into the waters of Sado river passing by Albarquel beach, the Comenda palace and the Outão lighthouse that marks the entry into the clear waters of the ocean. Then be amazed by the unique view of the beaches of Figueirinha, Galapos, Coelhos, Creiro and Portinho da Arrábida where you can take a dip in their turquoise blue waters where you can take a refreshing swim (only in Summer). Continuing our trip we will visit Alpertuche beach and the Arrábida cliffs with their small caves. We will also visit the small islands in the Sado mouth.
However, so much beauty cannot make us forget the main objective of our trip: watching dolphins in their natural habitat.
Our skipper will change the order of this itinerary depending on this great objective, making it possible to sail out to sea in search of these friendly wild animals.
As you approach the dolphins, watch as they playfully swim alongside the boat and smile at their antics before returning to Setúbal.
We will observe bottlenose dolphins, which have a colony in the Sado river, or common dolphins normally found in the open sea.
Dolphins are wild animals and are not always found in the same place. Our company can find them on around 99% of boat trips. If you find yourself in the remaining 1%, you will be entitled to a free voucher to repeat the experience.
Our skippers are highly qualified people in navigation and maritime safety. Our company is also a navigation school. Your safety is a priority for us.
The boat is virtually unsinkable and is equipped with state-of-the-art life rafts as well as radio communications.
It is an open boat that allows you to see dolphins from a very short distance.
It is also a very fast boat as dolphins are very fast animals.
In winter, be equipped for the cold even if it seems hot on land. The temperature at sea can drop a lot and the trip can be humid due to the spray.
Are you ready for this marine adventure?
Feel the power of wild nature, the silence of the ocean and appreciate its magic!
Children will love the dolphins. It's a memorable experience.
