After a huge deception with the company Xride in albufeira, I did a reservation with Dolfin Bay for the 28/07/2023 at 14h30 in Setúbal and it was the best experience I ever had in Portugal. Thank you so much for your everything. This was amazing I don’t have words to describe it. The crew was so nice and informative, they were so interesting knowing everything about the dolphins, they were able to recognize them based on their spots, the shape of their spots, the size of their fin. It was sooooo interesting. and we could see that they were extremely informed nothing was done by chance so it made it even more magical. On top of this, you get to enjoy a really nice trip of 3h the magnificent expanse of water as far as the eye can see seeing the Serra da Arrabida and Troia, including the beautiful beaches and blue shallow waters.
At first we didn’t saw the dolphins but the crew was watched with binoculars and on our way to the bay we had the chance to saw them really closely that was amazing !!!!!! To be honest I thought they would be afraid of the boat and maybe saw them far away ( which is absolutely amazing ) but surprisingly, instead of that they’re were right in front of us, playing and saying hello to everyone. So professional and respectful of the dolphins. We had to stay quiet and not bother them. I recommend SOOOOO much this company. I really wanted to hug them for making this dream come true thank you so much ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

This was a great experience. The boat has all the needed conditions, and the crew was amazing all trip, keeping us updated as they were spotting the dolphins' location and providing educational information (in portuguese and english) about the dolphins, including the individual names of each dolphin living in the bay and how to differentiate them, which was very cool. On top of this, you get to enjoy a nice 3 hour trip which gives you great views of both Serra da Arrabida and Troia, including the beautiful beaches and blue shallow waters. Definitely recommend.
Very nice speedy boat trip. We went from Parchal, made 2 hours trip with a perfect funny boat crew. We saw a lot of beautiful caves, listened some interesting and funny stories about that caves. Really recomended, top "must see" in Algarve. Thank you guys for a great day we had!
Monday we spent an exceptional afternoon which will remain engraved in our memories thanks to Peter, his son and their sailing boat and human size. Happy to share his knowledge of the places and the dolphins with us, we felt privileged, especially since the dolphins were widely present, giving rise to real emotion in each of us.
A big thank you for these hours of happiness.

Great trip along the coast from Centianes to Marinha. One hour. Perfect small boat, fits in the small caves and with few people on board. Guide and captain super friendly and fun along the trip. Better prices than same trips from other beaches.
Simply wonderful. We were fortunate with having Alex and Dion making the tour a wonderful time spend, with good fun and humor, setting a great scene all in all. Pick up on very nice little beach. Tip: do the trip during low tide, so you can explore it all.
It was an awesome experience. We had so much fun: they showed us the most beautiful parts of the bay, with the stories behind. Very nice, that drinks are served on the boat, and that the captain is taking great pictures, so you don't have to, and most importantly, we also saw the dolphins. The captain and his son are very nice, and great tour guides.
Peter und sein Sohn haben uns einen wundervollen und erlebnisreichen Nachmittag auf ihrem Katamaran beschert. Während des fast 4 stündigen Segeltrips konnten wir einige Delfine hautnah erleben und in einer einsamen Bucht entspannt baden. Dazu bekamen wir ein Glas Wein und ein paar Snacks serviert. Wir haben uns rund um wohl gefühlt und können den Segeltrip zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Danke nochmals an Peter und seinen Sohn für dieses Highlight!
