Vertigem Azul started its activity in 1998 and in 2000 moved its offices to Tróia, inaugurating a brand new space in the Tróia Marina in 2011 for a better hosting of groups and visitors. The main purpose of Vertigem Azul, since its embryonic stage, is to create a tourism company, with prestige and quality that will raise the public awareness about the conditions of the resident community of dolphins in the Sado river.

Vertigem Azul is a pioneer company in the observation of the Sado dolphins With the same spirit of its origins, Vertigem Azul has developed an extensive experience in organizing events and programs in the Nature, providing great moments to its visitors. Focusing on the clients, individual or business, the company bets on different programs, contributing to the quality of the national tourism.

From the different available programs we highlight the Wine Sunset Party, an on board event consisting of tasting of oysters and white and pink wines of the region; the tour and wine tasting in the cellars of José Maria da Fonseca or Herdade da Comporta (by all-terrain vehicles).

Aboard the Hei Matau, a semi-rigid boar or Esperança, a sailing ship, the two vessels of Vertigem Azul, you can experience and enjoy the activities organized in these three protected areas: RNES Natural Reserve of Sado Estuary, PNA, Arrábida Natural Park and PMLs, Professor Luiz Saldanha Marine Park. The rule is the preservation and enhancement of the environmental qualities, as well as the preservation of the dolphin population and its ecosystem.
