Dolphins in a small group in our Faro comparison.
Trade-off: €65 per person for two and a half hours at sea.
Last checked: July 27, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.
A dolphin and wildlife trip led by marine biologists who collect research data during the outing, so the commentary is science rather than showmanship. Sightings are never guaranteed at sea, and the trip is not advised for pregnant travellers or anyone with a back condition. 4.87 from 653 reviews at €65 per person for 2h 30m.
Our main goal is to connect science and tourism by providing wildlife watching boat tours while we collect data for scientific research.
During this tour you will have the chance to learn more about our local fauna and get to know how we are studying these animals.

At Faro harbour look out for Santa Maria Petisca Ria until you reach the flags. Over there look for the (middle) store with Ocean Vibes logo (you should notice some dolphins on the outside).
