Two hours of excitement - We saw about 30 dolphins and the caves were beautiful! Of course, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll see dolphins but we did.

Great Tour - It was a very nice tour. We were able to see a large group of dolphins. The guides went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We would love to do it again.

Best tour in the Algarve! - If you’re going to book a boat tour, book this one! Best boat tour in the Algarve. Tour guide was unbelievable, so accommodating for different languages and funny! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good tour of the caves. Would pay double for the experience.

A superb experience 🐬 - A great experience with a great team! We were able to see the dolphins and the scenery was amazing, all in a small boat, which allows us to be closer to the dolphins (unlike some companies that offer tours in big boats with lots of people). The Value for Money Award is unbeatable, we highly recommend!!

One pass! - A great experience. Tour along the coast seeing a lot of coves and grottoes that traveling by car you would not see and would take much longer. Explanations in 3 languages (Spanish ours), a work for the guide. Musiquita in the background, a little while to take a dip in the freezing waters, and then in search of the dolphins. We saw them and it was spectacular. To finish speed lap (here I missed a sweater or coat because it made an important scratch) and a couple of trunks with the boat that I thanked a lot from the pilot (who by the way spoke Spanish very well), to finish with more fun. Fully recommended!

Caves, dolphins, music and a speedboat! - Fun trip on a speed boat, lots of great singalong music. Our guide pointed out different places of interest in both English and French. Great access to caves. After seeing the caves and a few beaches we went out further to sea and found a pod of dolphins that swam around the boat for 15-20 mins.

Highly recommended, but bring a windbreaker or sweater - It was great to see the caves from the sea. Afterwards, we went to Corviero and hiked along the top to see the caves from land. We didn't get to see dolphins but dolphins have their own schedule that's but their fault! Tour guide knew a lot of languages (at least Portugese, french, spanish and English) and was great! I would suggest letting passengers know it gets quite cool at sea and to bring a sweater or wind-breaker. Even when it's 30 degrees at the dock,at sea maybe with the wind, it was quite cool. Not cold, but I'd say cool enough to be a bit uncomfortabks. Overall, great experience 👍👍
