Dolphin Route
Description
The waters of the west coast are shelter and also the place of passage of different animals, such as sharks, turtles, seabirds, and mainly cetaceans (dolphins), with the “Bottlenose Dolphin” (Tursiops Truncatus) being the most sighted species. The latter dazzles any observer when he reaches an astonishing 4 meters in length and 45 years old and for some years now have been a regular presence in our waters. During this cruise you will have the opportunity to meet these fun and friendly animals, as well as marvel at the caves and rock formations that make the southern coast of Portugal one of the most beautiful in the world. Note: This activity lasts 2 hours departing from Peniche Port with a minimum of 8 people and a maximum of 14. The boat may reach 30 miles per hour.

The guides were very dedicated and friendly. They took a lot of time and drove all the spots. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any dolphins. The seawater was probably too cold for the animals that day. Nevertheless, we had a lot of fun on the boat tour. Fernando and Paul went out to sea alone with us as a family. Thanks for the experience.
Dank für die Bewertung. Es war uns eine Freude, Ihre nette Familie an Bord zu haben; sie sind immer so freundlich und unterhaltsam. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Well organised, great communication with Fernando, and we saw so many dolphins! Absolutely magical. My daughters loved it - we would come again!
The dolphin tour was a unique experience! Due to the super friendly and competent crew we felt very comfortable on board and could enjoy the excursion to the fullest. Watching the dolphins swim in the sea was very impressive and beautiful. Thank you for this great trip, Atlantis Water Fun!
I totally understand that we could not see dolphins because nature decides. But the service is oversold. When I bought the tickets, I asked the saleswoman "are we sure to see them" and she said "don't worry you'll see them". It was a gift for our teenagers who got their exams. It's really a lot of money for us. We haven't seen any dolphins... And no gesture of refund or tickets for another ride. I'm wondering how successful it is. If it's 90% then the least you can do is pay back the ride because the experience is so disappointing. If it's 50% then I might as well say it as soon as the tickets are sold and I wouldn't have taken the risk. My daughter cried the rest of the evening...
Bonjour Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas pu détecter votre achat de voyage sur Tripadvisor ou Viator. Avant chaque sortie, les capitaines vous avertissent toujours du risque de ne pas rencontrer de dauphins. Nous travaillons avec des animaux sauvages dans leur habitat naturel… Nous sommes certains que notre équipe a tout mis en œuvre pour que cette sortie soit une réussite. Quiconque ne comprend pas cette situation n'est certainement pas prêt à profiter pleinement de ce que la nature a à offrir. Concernant le pourcentage d'observations, consultez nos avis en ligne. Merci
Out at sea, with great staff! We saw the dolphins swimming! They were respectful and we respected a limited time to not bother them too much! Thank you.
Merci 😍🙏🐬🐬
The ride alone was a highlight, like a roller coaster (not for the seasick). And then we also saw so many dolphins :) the sailors were super nice and even covered half an hour so we have time with the dolphins. Very nice and also species-appropriate.
Really super fun experience Good captain who found THE place where these amazing intelligent critters swam around! Highly recommended
We didn't have the best of luck with the weather, but the guys from Atlantis Water Fun made sure we were safe and tried their hardest to find the dolphins... And by the end of the tour, they found them! It wasn't the most comfortable boat, but it was a fun.
We had a great time, thank you! The crew was very pleasant and attentive. It gives pleasure ! A little disappointed all the same to have been the first of 2024 not to have the chance to see the dolphins... But it’s nature and we understand it well!!
The three of us had a breathtaking boat trip. There was no one else with us. My son forgot his sweater and they lent him one straight away, that was so sweet! We would really recommend this tour to everyone!!!
