Stunning views of the caves - The views of the caves were incredible and so beautiful. We got fortunate and managed to see some dolphins, which was a jaw dropping opportunity. There's a large element of luck as to whether you see dolphins or not, but regardless this is a must do when visiting the area

Happy! - The crew members were amazing and fun, and turned the trip even better. We went on a lucky day, we were able to see not only one, but two species of dolphins! Hope I get to see whales next time, which is more difficult to see.

Best experience we had our whole trip! - THE BEST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD! Let alone in EUROPE! me and my sister absolutely loved this boat cruise. We went on the 2-hour cruise to see dolphins (which we did see)! Only thing upsetting was we didn’t get to step OUT of the boat like we thought and walk around the caves/take pictures.. but the experience was still amazing. Staff Rui and Manuel were so funny and kind! Kept checking to make sure we were safe and happy!! Recommend it.

Great time in boats. - Superb experience.
2h30 by boat or you can see the entire coast from albufeira to carvoheiro.
Visits to the caves, swimming in cool but super clear water.
The atmosphere on the boat is great, a super Dynamic team, full of humor ( Victor is great!! ) speaks good French.
Music also to accompany the ride.
We haven't seen the dolphins but I guess it must be quite a rare event.
Great time with the family.
We paid 130€ for 2 adults and 2 children.

Its a must do!!! - We took the first trip of the day and was lucky enough to see a large Pod of dolphins.
As the are wild animals this part of the trip is not guaranteed, so be repaired. The day before there where four trips and only 2 of them got to see dolphins. That being said trip was great, boat ride smooth, even in slightly rough seas. I'm not able to put into words how fantastic the boat crew were. Their priority is looking after children on the boat and ensuring that adults have a great day as well. They are very informative and knowledgeable about and truly love the area, the sea and its wild life. Its a must do !!!!

Perfect trip, boat goes inside cave, got to see dolphins and crew were fantastic. - Fantastic trip, and lucky enough to see the dolphins.
Cruise experience was unreal due to the captain and crew, loads of info and fun, highlight of my trip was the captain advising that if we were lucky enough to see the dolphins we should treasure the moment, he kept saying parents forget about taking photos and videoes, first share the experiece with your kids, share the moment and soak it all up...wise words. Highly recommend this company.

Good couple of hours out on the water. - Professional outfit and felt safe and looked after at all times.
Completely at the mercy of mother nature as to whether you get close to dolphins. We were lucky to see a few. Kids loved it.
Caves were… caves.
