Lovely Trip - The 2.5hrs was a lovely experience. Informative crew. We found the dolphins which was a bonus. What a beautiful coastline and the only way to appreciate it is from the sea.

10/10 - We went for the 30 minute cave tour, we didn’t pre book and were greeted with helpful staff at the stall. The trip itself was amazing, gorgeous views and totally worth the price. Our tour guides xperio and pedro were very friendly, smart and most importantly funny!

Fantastic experience seeing the dolphins and caves - A must do when in the Algarve. The first part of the tour is setting off on the boat to look for Dolphins. It’s important to mention this isn’t 100% a guarantee but we managed to see some and it was really nice. It is then a 45minute boat ride to the Benagil caves. Once you get there we had the opportunity to take photos from the boat but due to strong waves on the day we wasn’t able to get out. There are a few refreshments you can buy on the day too. The tour guide was amazing and explained everything so well in both English and Portuguese. Very energetic and exciting. Really made the experience so much better. A great experience.

Aggressive behavior of employee of Mara Cruise - Employee of Mara charter aggressed my family with an 8 year old child, because we did not take the right passage when exiting the boats area. He raised the voice and threatened with physical violence. A complaint has been raised with the office in Albufeira Marina, who basically told us there was nothing she could do. Official complaint sent by email as well. Avoid at all costs!!!!
