In the Sado Estuary lies one of the rare sedentary populations of bottlenose dolphin in Europe and one of the most important worldwide. With an estimated population of about 30 individuals, it is a privilege to see them evolve in the calm waters of the estuary, or indulging in leaps and pirouettes that attract us and raise awareness. The observation of this little world where they play, hunt and spend most of their time, lasts approximately three hours, with the possibility of short stop for swimming, and develops one of the most beautiful places of Portugal, the bay Setubal, also known as dolphin bay, which belongs to the exclusive club of the "Most Beautiful Bays in the World."

This Mini Cruise circumvents the bank of the River Sado with the city through Albarquel, Commendation, Outão Fort, Figueirinha, where begins the area normally frequented by dolphins which extends across the south channel and we call "Route of the dolphins" , a walk of about three hours where it is essential to bring the camera!

Important note:

The observations of dolphins in the wild are in their most successful and have a very high success rate. But nothing and no one can guarantee absolute certainty to see them, even though this community is here resident, they depend on the will. To be sure to see dolphins only in captivity, and without the intuition that gives them freedom.

Not Included:

Meals, entrances in monuments and wine tasting.
