About This Adventure
Embark on a thrilling 3-hour ocean adventure, perfect for marine enthusiasts! Search for dolphins, whales, and seabirds while exploring fascinating underwater geological formations. With expert guidance from a biologist, enjoy a comfortable catamaran ride as you delve deeper into the ocean's wonders, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Uma nova experiência para os amantes do oceano. Nesta aventura temos como objetivo estar 3 horas no mar à procura de variados cetáceos, peixes e aves marinhas. Nesta saída o avistamento de golfinhos é certo mas também contamos com uma maior probabilidade de observar mais espécies de golfinhos e até Baleias. A diferença para a Observação de Golfinhos é que temos bem mais tempo, cerca de 3 horas, o que nos permite procurar mais tempo e mais longe da costa em zonas muito interessantes pela sua formação geológica no fundo do oceano que atrai variadas espécies diferentes que na costa.
Iniciamos com uma explicação dada por um dos nossos Biólogos, sobre as espécies existentes na zona. Depois vamos ao mar a bordo do nosso confortável, estável e rápido Catamarã à descoberta.
