Do this boat tour! Dolphins! beautiful! - This tour was amazing! I 100% recommend this tour. There are many companies to choose from in the area. Why I chose this one (and I'm glad I did!)—they do the caves, which we loved, but they also make a special trip to where they know the dolphins hang out, and you spend time just being with the dolphins. The first group we found wasn't so interested in interacting, and that was fine, so we moved on to a group that wanted to interact. The dolphins came to us and swam all around, swam under out boat when we moved along, etc. The marine biologist they put on the boat was wonderful as well. You should do this super fun trip!

Great dolphin and cave experience! - The boat trip was fantastic! We were with our family with two children under 13 and could not ask for a better captain and guides like Pedro and Ana (and their doggy popcorn:) They are super friendly and make it a real experience! They talk passionately about the different species of dolphins we have seen and the many caves, where we have sailed in and along. We have seen two different species and groups of dolphins, what an amazing experience that was! They swam under and along the boat, we were able to make a lot of videos and photos. Overall, it was a great adventure! If we go to the Algarve again, we will definitely book another boat trip with Captain Nemo!

AMAZING! - I can’t tell you how amazing Pedro and Ana are! Nothing is too much trouble. Amazing with children and so attentive to everyone. You even get to cuddle popcorn the dog on the boat. The trip itself is breathtaking, they do not give up until you find dolphins. Very professional and informative, you can tell they love what they do and to finish with caves is icing on the cake! I’ve been on other boat trips and I’ve been with Nemo twice now and will never go with anyone else as nothing comes even close!! Don’t waste your money on anything else even if cheaper as you honestly get what you pay for here and worth every penny. Even a video sent by email of the excursion and it’s a joy 🐬 👏🏼 Lloyd and Alex

Amazing experience - We had an amazing experience with Capitao Nemo! We saw many dolphins and were so lucky to also see a whale! The captain extended our time at sea considering our lucky encounter. The team was great and friendly and provided good explanation during the activity. We recommend it 100%

Unforgettable - We had an incredible experience on the dolphin watching and cave seeing boat tour. Our group consisted of four adults and a three-year-old, and it was perfect for all of us. The boat was an adapted rescue boat and felt extremely stable, our daughter even had a sleep on the way back! Captain Pedro and Biologist Ana were absolutely fantastic. They were both very approachable and happy to answer all of our questions, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere on board. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was magical, and the cave tour was breathtaking. We even managed to get a glimpse of a minke whale. We couldn't have asked for a better experience – highly recommend this company.

Happy family trip - Excellent trip with two teens - 14 & 15. We saw bottle nosed dolphins including a little baby! The guides are clearly very knowledgeable and are happy to talk and answer any questions. The tour is very respectful of the dolphins’ environment and wellbeing which we liked. Caves were awesome too. Definitely go do it

Awesome! - Amazing 😻 highlight of our trip. It’s a must to do when visiting Portimão. We’ve had a lot of fun on boat and it wasn’t for sure one of the boring guided tours- interactive and devoted to make the best memories ☀️🌊
