The meeting point will be at Praia do Ouro, one of the central beaches of Sesimbra, easily accessible and with good transport and parking links nearby. Here participants will check in with the team before the start of the experience, receive safety instructions and preparation for the tour. It is also the place where the presentation of the activity and the boarding for the exit towards the sea will be done. On arrival, visitors can enjoy the view over the bay of Sesimbra, a quiet and sheltered setting that marks the perfect start of the dolphin observation experience.

After check-in and instructions from the team, it’s time to board and start the adventure at sea. Participants head to the boat, where they receive a brief explanation on the route, safety rules and what to expect from dolphin observation. As soon as everyone is on board, the boat begins to move away from the coast of Sesimbra, leaving behind the Golden Beach and revealing the first views of the cliffs and open waters. This moment marks the beginning of sailing along the coast of Arrábida, where the landscape quickly turns into wildlife and open sea. During this initial phase, the team also begins the active search for marine life, including dolphins, seabirds and other species that inhabit this rich area of the Atlantic. It is the perfect time to feel the excitement of the walk to begin.

In this part of the tour, visitors enter one of the richest and most spectacular areas of the Portuguese coast for marine life observation. When sailing along the Arrábida, you can see dolphins in their natural habitat, often swimming in small groups or curiously following the boat. As the search for dolphins continues, participants also enjoy unique landscapes, with imposing limestone cliffs, crystal clear waters and exceptional marine biodiversity. The crew on board shares information about dolphin behaviour and the local ecosystem, making the experience not only exciting but also educational. It is a moment of direct contact with nature, where the beauty of the Arrábida coast and the possibility of meeting these animals make the walk truly unforgettable.

After the exciting observation of dolphins, the tour continues along the coast of Sesimbra, in a more relaxed moment to appreciate the beauty of the cliffs, caves and beaches overlooked from the sea. The navigation goes slowly, allowing you to enjoy the latest landscapes of the region and take photos. In this phase, the boat makes a stop in a sheltered area near the coast, where participants have the opportunity to dive into the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic and enjoy a moment of leisure and relaxation at sea. To complete the experience, tasty gifts are offered on board, providing a pleasant and tasty end to the ride. It is the perfect closure for an experience that combines nature, adventure and direct contact with the ocean.
