nice Benagil boot trip - It was fun... A quiet boat trip with professional explanations now and then but as expected no dolphins

Highly recommend this excursion! - Amazing opportunity to ride the ocean waves, see a pod of dolphins in their natural habitat and explore the costal caves. Our captain seamlessly combined both fun and safety as it was a wavy day on the ocean!

Wonderful sites and experience - This is probably the best way to see the beautiful coast around Albufeira. The team was great. We visited many caves in addition to Benagil. The sequence was well timed so we didn't bump into too much traffic from other boats. We went out to sea and saw a pod of dolphins. Bring a sweater and windbreaker, since it's fresh on the water and the boat goes fast!

Friendly, fantastic trip - We did this tour 2 years ago, seeing lots of dolphins, so went back to take my son and parents for the same great experience. The people running this small business are so friendly and caring with a high regard for passenger safety and satisfaction. They would rather lose trade than take passengers out when it is too windy. They guided the small boat into caves with expert precision and told us all about local landmarks before taking us away from the shore to look for dolphins. They kept a close lookout and we were lucky enough to see large tuna leaping out of the sea - a rare sight and a real privilege. I'd really recommend this trip - great value and a wonderful experience.

Amazing afternoon on the water - This was a fantastic afternoon out with a great crew who were funny, engaging and entertaining. Our guide could speak multiple languages and kept everyone informed. We went to all the hot spots and managed to get in Benagil cave for some great photos. We then went out to sea and found a dolphin pod which was the icing on the cake. The guys did say that we don't always find them but we did today. I would throughly recommend these guys for a super afternoon out.

Great experience! Highly recommend! - The team were brilliant, very funny and engaging! We had an amazing experience, and the sights were spectacular. The guide was super informative and gave really interesting stories and history about the spots. We also got to see the dolphins up close, one of the most magnificent experiences. Highly recommend! The size of the tour was great, not too many people so we had a nice view to see everything.

Beautiful and fun boat tour - I loved going into the caves and getting the full boating experience! We floated and watched the dolphins for a long time which was great. Overall a very fun boat trip, a must if you’re in Albufeira. Only downside was our tour guide was not very interactive or engaging
