SeaEO Tours is a family business that grew with the need to provide nature lovers the possibility of getting closer to Nature and connecting with wild species in their habitat. We have a strong environmental awareness for the protection and preservation of natural resources. That’s why we adopted the concept of Nature Tourism. Lisbon sightseeing tours needed a differentiated outdoor activity that could offer off-the-beaten-track boat tours. That's where our Birdwatching in the Tagus Estuary, Dolphin Watching and Seabird Watching come in. SeaEO also intends to collect sighting data for scientific research during the activities and with the help of the guests.
FAQ's
Our boats are docked at the Santo Amaro Dock. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gEtJxrjbUyi632Kt8 Your skipper and guide will meet you in front of Gate 3, 15 minutes prior to your ticket time for check-in. We have daily tours at 09:30 and 14:00, so 09:15 and 13:45 are our meeting times, respectively.
This is a safari adventure on the water. We use fast RIBs for this activity, the most adequate, comfortable and safe for venturing out to sea. Each boat is equipped with a 300 HP engine and go through a rigorous maintenance, safety and engine checks monthly schedule. Our crew is from Lisbon and know the Tagus and the Atlantic waters like the back of their hands. Both passengers and crew must wear a lifejacket throughout the tour. SeaEO Tours only goes out with safe wind and waves conditions.
Our tour is not allowed for pregnant women or people with severe back or hip issues. SeaEO cannot be held responsible in case this information is omitted to the crew and anything happens to a pregnancy or any previous health condition is aggravated during or after our tour. We do not allow children under 5 years of age. No touching, feeding or getting in the water is allowed, as per European Cetacean Rules. You may bring a small bag/backpack/camera bag with you. Any cabin or hold-size suitcases, larger travel backpacks, can be stored in a safe booth for an extra 5 EUR.
We almost always see dolphins on our tour. Our sighting success of the past 5 years ranges from 95 to 98%. This is, however, a safari and if in 3 hours we do not spot them, it's because dolphins weren't in the area.
This activity requires a minimum of 6 participants. Should this number not be reached, we'll get in touch with you to offer date and time alternatives.
