1.Dolphin Watching with a Marine Biologist – Ocean Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 812 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $62Our pick

Lisbon dolphin safari on a fast RIB with a marine biologist, Tagus-to-Atlantic views near Belem and Farol do Bugio, plus anti-seasick help.

“Amazing experience that surpassed all expectations!!! We got to see dozens of common dolphins surfing, doing tricks and riding right in the bow wave of the boat. The RIB is so much fun to ride and Bart and Sid are so friendly and helpful. Even just being out on the water in the sun is a great time! Would recommend to anyone who visits Lisbon.”

Sintra Jeep Safari - Pickup Along the Estoril Coast: The Easy Start You’ll Appreciate Later

2.Sintra Jeep Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 311 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $71

Ride a vintage UMM 4×4 through Sintra, taste ginja and local pastries, visit Regaleira and the coast, then finish at Cascais station.

“It was a great day. Ruben - born and raised in Sintra - was very knowledgeable and a really fun guide. Between his stories, the wind in our hair, the gorgeous scenery and the great music, the whole thing was a vibe. We ended up only passing the Quinta Regaleira and visiting the Palácio de Monserrate (which was a change made after booking due to changes in ticketing procedure at Quinta Regaleira apparently), but it was still really cool and the park/lush grounds were an interesting addition. Ruben was full of inside knowledge about the plants and property that made a tremendous difference in our understanding and appreciation of it.…”

Arrabida Safari – Europe's Most Beautiful Beach & Hidden Gems - Parque Natural da Arrábida: Oaks, Cork Trees, Vineyards, and That Mountain-Ocean Stop

3.Arrabida Safari – Europe’s Most Beautiful Beach & Hidden Gems

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 190 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $119

Private Jeep Cabrio safari through Arrábida National Park from Lisbon, with Galapinhos Beach time, sea cliffs, cave options, and scenic stops.

“Arrábida is absolutely stunning. But this tour is more of a taxi to the beach for an 1hr a half with a quick stop off at a cave. Literally became a taxi as we gave a lift to someone on another tour to and from Lisbon. If it was money for fuel and driver, would have been worth it. However at current rate overpriced.”

Pena Palace Jeep Safari

Pena Palace Jeep Safari - Santuario da Peninha: the best-view stop with a short time window

6.Pena Palace Jeep Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $70

Sintra Jeep safari with Pena Palace, Peninha viewpoint, Porto wine, Queijada snacks, and Polaroid photos for a small-group day.

“It was nice to be able to skip the line at Pena Palace, the tour company will contact through whatsapp about pre-paying for entry tickets- this is legit. We were uncertain at first since it doesn't mention this step when booking. Andres was a personable, fun, knowledgeable guide, laid back and easy to talk to. Very fun, more of an adventurous tour than most! Lots of excitement and we got to see views we otherwise would have missed out on.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 35 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Lisbon’s dolphin-watching ocean safari on fast RIB boats, with a marine biologist, Belém landmarks en route, and flexible routing.

“Bart is very charismatic and caring, same goes for the skipper on the day. On the way of our dolphin search, we enjoyed views of the beautiful Portuguese coastline. The dolphin sighting after the storm that hit Portugal was going to be a bit of a challenge, but Bart and the skipper did their utmost to make it happen, and WOW, we encountered a small group of dolphins that surrounded us, checking us out. It was magical seeing them in their natural habitat. Another group contacted Bart and skipper that they have encountered another larger breed of dolphins, so we rushed to their area and enjoyed ANOTHER sighting! Thank you…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 6 hours · from $73

“Our Sintra Jeep Tour was absolutely unforgettable and easily one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Portugal. From start to finish, the adventure was seamless, fun, and full of breathtaking moments. The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the area. They brought Sintra’s history and hidden gems to life while keeping the energy high and the mood light. Their stories and insights added so much richness to the experience. The open-air jeep ride itself was such a fun way to explore. We visited stunning viewpoints, cruised through lush forests, and even got to see some secret spots off the typical tourist path. It felt personal,…”
