Overview
Witness wild and free bottle-nose dolphins glide through the sea on this full-day guided sea life sightseeing tour from Lisbon. South of Lisbon, discover one of the 10 most beautiful bays in the world. Cruise atop one of the globe’s most scintillating bays in a modern catamaran and see wild marine life.
Enjoy a relaxing cruise on the Sado Estuary, where you’ll learn about the resident bottlenose dolphins and hopefully observe some wild dolphins in their natural environment. The cruise takes between 2 1/2 to 3 hours. See the natural reserve of Arrábida, and take in the stunning views, learning about the area’s history and culture.
From the ocean, and before returning to the old city centre of Setúbal you’ll see a few of the region’s historic monuments, like the Arrábida Convent and the Saint Filipe Fort.
Before returning to Lisbon, you’ll stop at a few sights in the Arrabida Mountain range, from where you can marvel at the natural reserve and get a “land view” of this region.
