Guided dolphin and wildlife boat tour from Faro. Marine biologists search the Atlantic for dolphins, whales, sharks, and birds.

“Most amazing sunset trip! We saw dolphins and a whale. Great start to my solo birthday trip”
4-hour Faro boat trip through Ria Formosa, with Atlantic dolphin spotting, Ilha do Farol village time, and swim stops on Ilha Deserta.
“Unfortunately I do not recommend this trip. Well maintained boat and guides which cared about our dolphin experience - we searched but no luck on our trip (other boats had the same experience, including the 'Marine Biologist' lead tour). We went in the middle of October and unfortunately the bars and eateries were closed but what we were surprised about is that the guide was unaware that everything had closed - right down to telling us where the champagne bar was on the second island! On the first island there was a large restaurant/coffee shop and toilets, but so many of the group didn't go there because they were assured…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
