The year 2025 can be considered, for Bolhas Tours, one of the most remarkable in terms of the diversity of species observed, providing records of scientific value and added tourist interest.

With stunning landscapes and unique biodiversity, this is the perfect opportunity to embark on an unforgettable adventure and capture through photography the fascinating pelagic birds of the region.

Compared to 2023, when sightings of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) were mostly recorded in July and August, this year’s sightings were predominantly in May and June.

Another year full of unforgettable adventures on Bolhas Tours' daily dolphin watching trips in Sesimbra. Nestled in the Arrábida Mountains and facing south, the town of Sesimbra benefits from the natural protection of this impressive mountain range, which shields it from the prevailing north and northwesterly winds.

Nestled along 30 km of the stunning southern coast of the Arrábida mountain range, the Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park, with more than 53 km2 of protected area, is a sanctuary for marine ecosystems and a reference for ecotourism activities.
