Set off from Porto da Baleeira for a breathtaking 2.5-hour birdwatching experience along the dramatic coastline of Sagres. One of Europe’s most exceptional migration corridors. This region is home to an extraordinary variety of marine birds, with sightings peaking during September and October, when migratory species travel south toward warmer climates.
As we cruise along the rugged coastline, you’ll witness nesting sites, soaring seabirds, and, if nature is on your side, occasional encounters with other marine wildlife including dolphins and whales. This is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, photographers, ornithologists, and curious travelers of all ages.✨
Sagres is a hotspot for both resident and migratory seabirds. Depending on the season, you may encounter:
🪶 Common Gannet (Morus bassanus)
🪶 Cory’s Shearwater (Calonectris borealis)
🪶 Balearic Shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus)
🪶 Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus)
🪶 Great Skua (Catharacta skua)
From May to October, keep an eye out for the tiny and energetic:
🪶 Storm Petrels (Hydrobates spp.)
In October, sightings often include:
🪶 Sooty Shearwater (Ardenna grisea)
🪶 Audouin’s Gull (Larus audouinii)
🪶 Pomarine Skua (Stercorarius pomarinus)
Common late-summer species include:
🪶 European Storm-Petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus)
🪶 Great Shearwater (Ardenna gravis)
🪶 Wilson’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanites oceanicus)
And on perfect ocean-weather days, lucky guests may spot:
🪶 Sabine’s Gull (Xema sabini)
🪶 Long-tailed Skua (Stercorarius longicaudus)
Guides may also use bait on the surface to attract certain birds, allowing for closer observation and photography without disturbing natural behavior. 📸✨
