Accessible Outings and Excursions

Zoo Marine
The big attractions at Zoo Marine are the spectacular presentations. The dolphins are perennial favourites, with a breath-taking demonstration of the dolphins’ agility, intelligence and the special bond they have with their trainers. The Wonderful World presentation features seals and sea lions, sailors and lost treasure. This show gets lots of laughs from the audience and is definitely one that the kids will enjoy. The Enchanted Forest presentation with tropical birds is entertaining while at the same time promoting environmental awareness – always a priority at Zoo Marine. The birds of prey presentation is dramatic and awe-inspiring, and allows you to get closer to these majestic creatures than you ever thought possible.
Ramps, bathrooms adapted and wheelchair available.

Slide & Splash
Slide and Splash is one of the leading Algarve attractions and should be on your list of things to do in Portugal. It's a day of sliding down the Kamikaze or the Black Hole and splashing in the Olympic-sized pool. The park is good for children of all ages, particularly excellent for the little ones.
Ramps, bathrooms adapted and wheelchair available.

Aqua Show
Aqua Show family park is set in large grounds with plenty of grassy shaded areas for relaxing. There are several kid’s play areas with slides and swings scattered throughout the park.
