Dolphin Boat Trip in Setúbal & Arrábida

Dolphin boat trip from Setúbal: beaches and the Arrábida coast

Just one hour south of Lisbon, Setúbal is home to one of the few resident colonies of bottlenose dolphins in Europe, living in the Sado estuary. On a private boat trip in Setúbal, you can look for the dolphins in their natural habitat, then cruise along the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park and the Tróia peninsula.

Every trip is private, with a professional skipper who respects the dolphins and the protected area. Choose a modern day boat for a half day, or a luxury flybridge yacht for a full day of swimming, sunbathing and lunch on board in a hidden bay. Dolphin sightings are frequent but never guaranteed, as they are wild animals.

Perfect for families, couples and groups of friends looking for nature and adventure close to Lisbon. Drinks and catering can be arranged on request.
