So I did this boat trip with a company called Wildwatch the tour is named "WildLife Explorer" and It's a 3h boat ride along the coast that aims to see marine animals on their natural habitat. I reccomend you to take a jacket as it gets cold in the sea and the boat is fast so you get lots of wind, also, sun protection and sunglasses for obvious reasons ;) The boat is a speed boat that can get pretty bumpy if you ride in the front (which I did but I'm fine with it as it was better for photos :) ). Everyone gets life vests and safety instructions.
I left from Ferragudo at the time but they also pick up in Alvor. I paid for the trip just like everyone else - It costs 65€ per person. The team is composed by marine biologists that really know what they are doing and in the end they do a round up of the sights in the trip and general activity of the marine life in the area while offering some snacks.
It didn't take long to see some fins - dolphins! they were quite curious and constantly going around the boat and below, really close, some bigger groups some smaller groups, they were really playful and jumped around a lot! We even saw some mothers and babies <3 On this trip we only saw 2 species of dolphins, but it was really interesting as the guides kept explaining their behaviors and identifying the species and gender, very informative!
All the dolphin pictures above were taken by me on the trip. Overall I found this expirience amazing and defenetly reccomend this trip and this company, the price is worth it, the ending session is lovely with tea biscuits and other snacks while seeing some photos from our trip and other species present in the area - I learned a lot about the local marine ecosystem! In a few days after the tour you get an email with underwater footage from your trip :)
