Overview

Unlike many cetacean observation activities, our priority is to provide an authentic and respectful encounter with wildlife. We operate alongside the impressive Nazaré Canyon, one of the largest underwater cannons in Europe, a zone rich in marine biodiversity that attracts several species throughout the year.

We strictly follow good practices of responsible observation, ensuring that animals are never chased or disturbed. We believe that the real magic lies in observing the dolphins free, behaving naturally in their environment.

In addition to marine life, this experience offers privileged views of the coast of Nazareth and the opportunity to navigate one of the world’s most iconic ocean areas, known for its giant waves and the extraordinary richness of the marine ecosystem.

Every exit is different, each encounter is genuine and every moment is an opportunity to create a deeper connection with the ocean and nature.
