Very good! - Great option to see the rocky formations between Albufeira and Benagil. The tour also includes dolphin observation which is always a "colyrium" for our eyes! I recommend!

Great option for families with kids - This is a great tour for families with younger kids. It is not a raft, and not a speed boat but rather a comfortable ride for all ages. They even gave us priority boarding as we were with kids. Do take a sweater / cover with you as it gets chilly further in the water, the staff also offered jackets for the kiddos however being prepared is better. The guide was great and gave us a lot of good info on many rock formations. Dolphins are a plus but don't count on it! Tip: sit on the right side if you can 😊

Worth going ! - Absolutely amazing tour looking for dolphins and seeing the caves. Tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Boat ride might be a bit bumpy - those with sea sickness might need to be more cautious . Otherwise - the bumpy ride is part of the excitement

Beautiful experience! - Amazing trip! The whole journey was safe and the crew members were nice, they explained the meaning of everything we saw. We also had a stop to swim in the ocean. By the way, they also have cold drinks and snacks to buy.

Caves of Benagil - We really liked the Caves of Benagil but to access you have to arrive very early, before 11h otherwise you do not get room on the beach as it is a very small cove. You can park your car (the parking is not in the same cove) for a price of €5 for the whole day and they give you a discount to invest it in the kayaking company that is on the beach. If you are carrying your own kayak or surfboard you will need the life jacket (there is mandatory) although you can also rent it there for the modest price of 15€ each and leaving a sign of 10€ per vest also that later return you. On the date I went (late August on weekdays, specifically on a Wednesday) there were a lot of people. There's a whole business set up. They don't tell you you can't get out in the cave and stay on the beach anymore. If you carry your own board or kayak I advise you to follow the instructors and get into the caves where they go. They're wonderful. You can easily reach the Arc de la Playa Marinho (beautiful). There if you can get off since there is foot and take several pictures. Tell you that there is also a beach bar. I hope it helps you

Ride on the mantrix - The trip was very good. The tour guide spoke many languages. The tour guide explained the history and facts about the area clearly. We spent a few minutes on the boat inside the Benagil cave. We then went searching for dolphins and we were lucky enough to see dolphins on both sides of the boat. It’s definitely helpful to have a jacket for this part of the tour. In the information of the tour given on the website it said there was a swim stop but there was not. Time management of the boat could improve as we started boarding ten minutes late and came back ten minutes early. However we did have a good time and enjoyed the tour.
