This trip is a must !! - Booked this last minute and so glad we did. Boat was great. Fast, smooth and seats were comfortable. Take my hat off to to the captain who got us in really close to the caves. Best of all we seen two different species of dolphins which really made the trip. We were not rushed and spent a lot of time with them and even diverted on way back to land as captain spotted another school. Last, Our host (I think her name was Lauren) was amazing from start to finish she topped the trip all off. Would certainly recommend this trip to anyone and will be back myself in the future.

Great experience - We were warned the sea could be rough but in fact it was not at all bad. Had some great views of dolphins, some swimming right beside the boat. Wonderful coast line, and Impressive boat handling allowed us to get in really close. One of the highlights of our trip to the Algarve

A bumpy ride but lot of fun. - I was warned the sea was "agitated" but it was a fun experience. Took awhile to find some dolphins but we did see them up close. Benagil cave was spectacular to see. The trip back in was a bit rushed, but we saw some beautiful caves and beaches.

***Beautiful views and dolphin show*** - Purchase via the ALGAREXPERIENCE stand at MARINA D’ALBUFEIRA 2 adults 63 euros Thanks to the lady who sold us the tickets (who spoke French very well) for the information, advice, and the 10% discount because we also bought the parasailing BENAGIL CAVES: 2h30 of beautiful landscapes and a superb dolphin show (bring a vest) ***Good walk***

Nice little boat trip, well worth it - Nice little trip to see the caves and dolphins. The staff onboard were very friendly and provided fun commentary. Unfortunately didn’t really get to see much of the famous Benagil cave as the boat was too big and you can only really get to it by kayak or SUP. We did see the dolphins which was excellent. Make sure you take a jacket as it gets a bit cold.

A little disappointed - I was a little upset that I only got to see 3 dolphins. It would of been a little better if you were able to get to the front. I recommend you take a jacket just in case as I got very wet coming back. Taken some lovely photos of the coastline.
