Sado Estuary Dolphin Watching

At the agreed time, we'll meet at Rua Praia da Saúde in Setúbal and start a tour that will leave you with unforgettable marine memories. Are you ready? Let's go find the dolphins of the Setúbal peninsula!

Once everyone has arrived, we'll head to the harbour and board a speedboat that will take us to the Sado Estuary. As well as admiring the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, we'll try to spot the community of dolphins that live in the estuary. Of course, throughout the trip, we'll tell you about the peculiarities of these friendly cetaceans.

Also, during this boat trip, we'll enjoy fantastic views of the mountains of Serra da Arrábida, a natural enclave that boasts one of the most beautiful landscapes on the Portuguese coast. You'll fall in love with it!

Finally, we'll return to the starting point after a 2 - 2.5 hour boat trip.
