We had a great time at arrabida national park. The meeting point was a little hard to find but we found it. Be sure to arrange your transportation back because it was really hard to find UBER or Bolt services from Sesimbra. The guide was really kind & overall was really fun.

It was a very special experience! The 3 hours are perfect to experience everything essential. The guides are networked with each other and help each other to find the dolphins. After we were able to observe many dolphins, we went by boat to a few grottos and to visit remote beaches from the water. Definitely recommended!
