Sobre
O nosso objectivo é encontrar golfinhos e observá-los no seu meio, no entanto por vezes somos surpreendidos pelo avistamento de outros animais como aves, tubarões ou baleias.
As espécies mais avistadas são o golfinho-comum e o golfinho-roaz, presentes na nossa costa todo o ano.
Uma viagem emocionante e cheia de aventura.
