Dolphin Watching Algarve: Exploring the Enchanting Marine World

The Algarve region of Portugal is known for its breathtaking coastline, sun-kissed beaches, and vibrant culture.

What is Dolphin Watching?

Dolphin watching is an exhilarating activity that allows you to observe dolphins in their natural habitat.

The waters surrounding Vilamoura are teeming with marine life, making it a hotspot for dolphin enthusiasts. Bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, and even the occasional Orca can be spotted frolicking in these azure waters. This rich biodiversity is attributed to the unique oceanic conditions and the presence of a variety of fish species, which serve as a plentiful food source for these graceful marine mammals.
