Combine Adventure with Marine Education in Lisbon

Set sail on an unforgettable marine biology discovery tour departing from Santo Amaro dock in Lisbon. Guided by a specialist marine biologist, this experience is much more than dolphin watching. It is an educational eco-tourism workshop where you will develop practical skills in wildlife identification, behavioral observation, and marine ecosystem understanding.

A Hands-On Educational Dolphin Watching Tour

As you navigate semi-rigid boats along the Tagus River and into the Atlantic Ocean, you will learn to identify different cetacean species and interpret their behavior. Your marine biologist guide will teach you how to distinguish between common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins, understand their social structures, and explore their role in the marine food chain.

Explore Marine Life and Ecosystems

Sailing under Lisbon’s iconic 25th of April Bridge and toward the Bugio lighthouse, you will gain a deeper understanding of local marine ecosystems. Learn why dolphins travel in pods, how environmental conditions influence their patterns, and what their presence reveals about ocean health. With dolphins often approaching the boat, you will have unique opportunities to observe their natural behaviors while practicing ethical wildlife photography.

More Than Dolphins: Discover Portugal’s Marine Biodiversity

This marine biology workshop also introduces you to other fascinating species found along Portugal’s coast. Depending on the season, you may encounter whales, sharks, jellyfish, or sea turtles. Each sighting is explained by your guide, who highlights the ecological significance and conservation challenges facing these marine animals.

An Immersive Marine Biology Experience in Lisbon

The experience lasts 2.5 to 3 hours and concludes with breathtaking views of Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. By the end of your journey, you will not only have enjoyed an unforgettable dolphin watching experience in Lisbon but also gained practical marine biology knowledge and skills that will enrich your future wildlife encounters.
