    Dolphin watching with Seafaris is a must-do activity for anyone visiting the Algarve. Seafaris was the first company in the Algarve to search for Dolphins in their natural habitat and our specialist team has over 25 years’ experience providing unforgettable day trips along the stunning coastline of Southern Portugal. Feel the thrill of the wind in your face as we glide across the glistening Atlantic Ocean in search of beautiful bottlenose and common dolphins or even other different spieces of Wild life, before we gently settle amongst the pods to watch them dance and play in their natural habitat. Our fully-certified skippers have an excellent knowledge of dolphin activity in the area, with sightings in over 95% of trips. Tours last approximately 90 minutes, and run throughout each day from Lagos. We recommend guests arrive at least 15 minutes before their departure time, and bring with them sun protection, water, and, of course, their camera!
