Blue Coast Tours Sesimbra is a boat tour operator based in Sesimbra, Setúbal, offering a range of coastal experiences on the Arrábida coast and Sado River estuary.
The company runs dolphin-watching trips in the Sado River estuary to observe a stable population of Roazes Corvineiros, guided outings to secret beaches and sea caves, and taxi-boat services to secluded beaches such as Praia Ribeiro do Cavalo and Praia da Baleeira. Sea trips include options for small groups and larger groups (9+), private half-day and full-day boat charters, and themed journeys like the Cabo Espichel sunset cruise.
Guests can swim in crystal-clear waters, explore natural arches and caves, and enjoy views of Portugal's coastal cliffs and the Convento da Arrábida. The Praia Ribeiro do Cavalo taxi-boat departs round-trip from Cais Espadarte. Private boat tours offer flexibility to bring personal food or request local dining recommendations, while some sunset cruises include regional drinks and cake.
Blue Coast Tours Sesimbra presents factual trip descriptions that emphasize locations, routes, and group options. The operator highlights access to wild beaches accessible only by boat, historic coastal landmarks, and marine biodiversity.
