Amazing trip. Carolina and Carlos are so knowledgeable, friendly and allowed us to have a longer trip until they managed to locate some dolphins. It was a great experience. Thanks so much Carolina and Carlos😊

We visited Faro last week and knew we definitely wanted to try and see dolphins why we were there. Well this company provided that and so much more! The service is outstanding and their knowledge is impeccable. Both of our skippers couldn't have been better. If you are looking for a dolphin trip this is the one to choose 100%. We also did the island tours aswell which were just amazing too. The communication was perfect meaning meaning we knew when to get picked up and dropped off plus they even gave us recommendations for things to do on the island! 10/10 would definitely recommend for any type of travellers!

Carlos,our skipper, was a very knowledgeable guide. We would have liked to spend more time on the deserted island. Super boardwalk to walk around, golden sands beach and great restaurant serving food &/or just drinks. 1 hour not enough time!

It was a beautiful late afternoon/sunset boat tour together with the very knowledgeable captain explaining the specifics of the ecosystem. I can only recommend Ecomarine Algarve for this pleasant nature trip along Ria Formosa.

One of the best experiences of my life with Carlos Pimenta and Martha. Both so knowledgeable and friendly. We saw a sunfish with its young family and a huge pod of dolphins entertained us. Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic!

We took the dolphin viewing tour with stops in two islands, it was a fun tour around the area, looking for the dolphins. One island was empty with shallow waters, where we could have a little break and the other was populated and set to have a meal and a swim. Carlos, our captain and guide, provided valuable tips and information all the way regarding the local ecosystem, and finally we saw the dolphins! They were jumping around, swiming around us for a little while. Great experience!

Had the most wonderful couple of hours with Marta and Carlos dolphin watching. Both are very experienced and told us about the resident and migratory species of the area. We saw two pods of dolphins, sun fish and marlin. Absolutely beautiful experience. We would highly recommend.

I am so glad I chose this boat experience, we visited deserta and Farol islands. Carlos was a brilliant guide, he was very knowledgeable and respectful about the nature surrounding us. We had enough time to bathe and explore parts of the islands. I would highly recommend and whenever I will be back in Faro I would definitely do it again. Thank you so much for having us :)
