Private Lisbon to Arrábida wine tour with Mercado bites, tile making, estate tastings, Atlantic views, and scenic Lisbon passes.

“My wife and I are actually in the process of disputing the money we were charged for this tour. After our friends got sick and decided to cancel their portion of the tour, my wife and I decided to shorten our tour and try to customize it a bit to suit our needs. However, when trying to do this, we discovered that the tour was not really completely private. The transportation to the first stop of the tour, and back to the hotel, is with other people not on your tour, so it is not possible to change anything about the tour that affects where the tour starts, where it…”

Lisbon: Arrábida Natural Park Dolphin Watching Boat Tour

13.Arrábida Natural Park Dolphin Watching Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 212 reviews · 2.5 - 7 hours · from $58

A semi-inflatable boat dolphin-watching trip in Arrábida Natural Park from Sesimbra, with coastline views, regional pastry, and optional Lisbon transfers.

“Our guide Martha was truly so sweet and knowledgeable! We had a fantastic time with her. For about two hours, it looked like we wouldn‘t find any dolphins, but the crew didn‘t give up, and at the last minute, they spotted a pod which we then followed for a while (though keeping our distance as to not stress the dolphins, and letting them come to us). Everybody on the team was extremely kind, and it was fantastic to see that the animals are treated with respect. We definitely recommend taking this tour! But be sure to adjust your expectations – these are wild animals, and whether you‘ll be able to…”

Sesimbra: Arrábida Dolphin Watching Boat Tour with Biologist

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 197 reviews · from $63

3-hour dolphin and whale watching in Arrábida Natural Park from Sesimbra, led by a marine biologist, plus beach swim.

“Brilliant trip. Caterina was a mine of information without it ever sounding like a script or becoming fact-heavy. I'd been sceptical about how reliable the dolphin sightings would turn out to be, but she explained that if one pod failed to appear, there was usually another pod of bottlenose dolphins nearby as almost all fishing is banned in the national park waters. We had common dolphins swimming alongside and under us for about 40 minutes, then watched from a short distance as they and a flock of gannets and gulls feasted on a shoal of small fish. Watching the gannets dive was almost worth the trip in itself. I really…”
