Detailed description

Dolphin watching in the Algarve - by boat to the dolphin spot

To see dolphins in the wild is without question one of the most beautiful and touching nature experiences of all. When the animals suddenly shoot out of the water in front of the boat and jump happily between the waves, the eyes of those who can be there also shine. Dolphin watching is possible in the Algarve, because some dolphin species are at home in the waters on the southern coast of Portugal. Especially between March and November, many associations of these marine creatures romp around the Atlantic Ocean.

For dolphin watching in the Algarve start your 2-hour boat trip in Albufeira. With a fast, modern motor catamaran you will first sail along the coast, so that you can admire the famous rock formations and caves of the Algarve. Then the skipper steers further out to sea. And you can already look out from your comfortable seat for the nimble swimmers, for fins, for shades of grey or for white bellies. Besides dolphins, other animals also have their habitat off the Algarve coast. These include whales, sharks, turtles and sea birds.

Dolphin watching in the Algarve is especially recommended when travelling with children. But adults also enjoy this natural spectacle. A dolphin observation cannot be guaranteed to 100 percent. But the probability is very high in this region. The catamaran that starts your dolphin watching in the Algarve reaches 30 miles per hour and is fast enough to keep up with the fast swimmers who reach enormous speeds underwater.

The dolphin watching Albufeira is an Algarve holiday tip for everyone who enjoys natural beauty, landscapes and a sea breeze. The coast around Albufeira is one of the most beautiful in Portugal. Especially the steeply rising rocks and the wide sandy beaches offer a panorama full of contrasts. In addition, there are the caves that make this landscape park and with it your boat trip something special.

Good, but too short

The tour is relatively short with 2 hours and a lot of time was lost in our search for the dolphins. And there weren't that many either. We found the caves more impressive.

Gut, aber zu kurz

Die Tour ist mit 2 Stunden relativ kurz und viel Zeit ging bei uns mit der Suche der Delfine verloren. Und sonderlich viele waren es auch nicht. Wir fanden die Höhlen beeindruckender.

So many dolphins

It´s amazing how many dolphins we saw while driving! Unfortunately we were not allowed to swim in the water and with them. But looking at it alone is also worthwhile!

Show review in original language

So viele Delfine

Wahnsinn, wie viele Delfine wir während der Fahrt gesehen haben! Leider durften wir nicht ins Wasser und mit ihnen schwimmen. Aber das Anschauen allein lohnt auch!
