Lagos: Dolphin Watching Tour + Marine Biologist Guide
Overview
Head out from Lagos Marina into the open Atlantic to meet wild dolphins where they live. A marine biologist joins every departure, explaining the species you see and how they feed, play and travel. You sit close to the water on a fast RIB, with local skippers who know this coast and find dolphins on around 95% of trips. As an ICNF-licensed operator, we follow Portugal's rules for approaching dolphins, so every encounter stays on the animals' terms.
