Reviews

"Saída pelágica de doca em Alcântara, para avistar aves e golfinhos, em manhã quente de início de outono. Foi excelente! Vimos centenas de aves, algumas das quais eu não tinha registro, e um bando de mais de 80 golfinhos nos seguia. Atendimento simpático e muito profissional do Sidônio e da Maria, da SeaEO Tours. Pretendo repetir!"
- Cristina Rappa (2026) via Google Reviews
"Adorámos, vimos muitas espécies de aves, e até golfinhos (muitos também). Estava uma manhã espetacular, excedeu as expetativas, não estávamos à espera de ver tanta diversidade! Para nós, que não somos ainda conhecedores, aprendemos muito. Um obrigado à SeaEO Tours e à SPEA!"
