What you can expect

Discover Lisbon from the Tagus River and embark on a unique adventure that combines scenery, history, and the exciting possibility of observing dolphins in the wild.

The tour begins in the heart of Lisbon, where you’ll be welcomed aboard a relaxing cruise that reveals the city from a completely different perspective. As the boat glides along the calm waters of the Tagus, you’ll enjoy privileged views of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks — historic buildings, remarkable architecture, and a coastline that reflects centuries of stories. It’s the perfect setting to appreciate the city’s grandeur away from the urban rush and capture memorable photos.

As we sail further downriver, the landscape gradually transforms. The horizon opens up, announcing our approach to the Tagus river mouth — the point where the river meets the ocean. This area is often visited by various marine species at certain times of the year, making it an ideal spot to try and observe wild dolphins.

From the very beginning, we navigate with great care and respect for the environment, always guided by an experienced crew. We do not use any attraction methods: we aim to observe nature exactly as it is. The crew keeps an eye on movements at the water’s surface, seabird behavior, and other signs that may indicate the presence of these incredible animals.

Dolphins live in total freedom, so sightings are never guaranteed — but even when they do not appear, the experience remains complete and deeply enriching. Sailing through the transition between the Tagus and the Atlantic offers unique views of Lisbon’s coast, impossible to see from land. The vastness of the ocean, the meeting of the waters, and the wide-open horizon create a powerful atmosphere — perfect for those seeking adventure or simply wishing to relax and breathe the sea air.

Throughout the journey, the crew shares interesting facts about dolphins and the region, enriching the experience in a relaxed, non-scientific, and non-intrusive way.

On the return, we sail past Lisbon’s historic Belém district, with its iconic monuments, and by Praça do Comércio — a perfect ending to an experience that combines scenery, history, nature, and navigation in one memorable moment.
