Salema Tours was founded in 2018, inspired by a deep connection to the sea and the unique beauty of Salema. Our mission is to provide authentic nature-based experiences, allowing visitors to discover marine wildlife — including dolphins — while admiring the stunning Algarve coastline from a privileged perspective.
Paulo Lourenço, an expert on Salema and the Vicentina Coast, combines the knowledge of a seasoned shellfish harvester with a genuine passion for the ocean and cetaceans. As owner and skipper, he is dedicated to creating memorable experiences, always placing passenger well-being, comfort, and satisfaction first. With an in-depth understanding of every corner of this coastline, he ensures tours that are engaging, safe, and truly unforgettable.
