The dolphin's relationship with man has been documented throughout our history with many civilizations telling stories of how this magnificent creature has come to our aid in times of trouble; protecting us from sharks or even guiding us through dangerous seas. Sadly, most people only ever get to see the dolphin in captivity but Dolphin Seafaris have been providing tourists to the Algarve, the opportunity to see the dolphin in its natural environment, since the year 2000.

We operate 21 boat trips a day from Marina de Portimao and Marina de Lagos via three touristic RIBS; one of which is the most powerful operating in Europe today. The boats use turbo diesel inboard engines which mean a money back guaranteed "no sea sickness" ride. The RIBS (rigid inflatable boats) are the same as those used by both coast guards and Greenpeace and conform to the highest of safety standards.

ALGARVE BOAT TRIPS – In high season, Dolphin Seafaris operate 7 boat trips a day between 8am and 8pm in search of dolphins and other forms of Algarvian sea life such as whales, sharks and even orcas. Each safari lasts around 1 and a half hours and offers a spectacular sea view of the world famous Algarvian coast line as well as the deeper offshore waters where the dolphins are to be found.
