Lisbon Dolphins is a specialist dolphin-watching and marine research organisation founded in 2015 by a dolphin researcher. Its team has studied Lisbon’s dolphins since 2007 and leads small-group tours guided by marine biologists and researchers. Departing from Doca de Santo Amaro, trips generally take place in the morning, last up to three hours, and accommodate six to twelve passengers.

Guests learn about dolphins, whales and the marine environment while observing wildlife in its natural setting. The company focuses on responsible, research-informed encounters rather than general boat tours, and says it sails when conditions are suitable for finding dolphins. If dolphins are not seen, refunds are available.

Lisbon Dolphins also highlights its recyclable boat, which it says has reduced noise and emissions by 30% since 2023, and its ambition to develop a low-impact, carbon-neutral business. Alongside tours, the organisation shares news and educational information through its website and supports scientific projects and environmental awareness. Its experiences offer visitors an intimate way to explore local marine life with knowledgeable guides
