Dolphin & Whale Watching – If you’ve yet to experience the delight of seeing dolphins and whales in their natural environment we certainly recommend you add it to your list of ‘important things to do’ whilst on the Algarve. There’s a number of boats that take you dolphin and whale watching, many of which make for an exciting experience in themselves.

We suggest booking with Algarve Dolphins, because they are the only company working in Algarve waters supporting the research and protection of dolphins and other marine life. Every trip is also accompanied by highly qualified marine biologists who study the dolphins in their natural habitat – they’ll answer any questions you have around these amazing creatures.

Typical costs for a 90 min. breathtaking ocean trip costs around Adult 35,- euro and Kids (max 10 years) 25,- euro.

Botas depart from the Marina de Lagos.
