The 6 Best Safari Tours in Lisbon

1.Dolphin Watching with a Marine Biologist – Ocean Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 812 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $62.88Our pick

Lisbon RIB dolphin watch with a marine biologist, fast Atlantic sail, small-group attention, and key coastline views like Belém Tower.

“Firstly, even if you don’t see dolphins, the ride on the rib along the Tagus and into the Atlantic is a great experience. Bouncing along the waves is like a rollercoaster, but not on rails so a little more exciting. But you will see dolphins. We saw two pods, common dolphins and the much larger bottlenose dolphins. They swam beside the boat, ahead of the boat, and often swam underneath. This is a real bucket list type activity and a must do for any visit to Lisbon.”

Lisbon dolphin watching by fast RIB boat, with marine biologists and small groups. River views, Atlantic wildlife, and flexible routes.

“What an incredible trip!!! 5 stars all round. We are a marine animal loving family so we jumped at the chance to go dolphin spotting in Lisbon and I am thrilled we booked with Seaview- Nautical events. From start to finish we felt welcomed, safe and informed. It was an awesome experience on the sea, travelling through the river into the ocean, and the dolphins….. oh the dolphins! We initially saw a female pod with babies and, once out in open water, encountered the braver males who showed off to us by leaping out of the water and coming very close to our boat. Our biologist, Diogo, was so informative…”
