Seaalgarve’s boat tour - Loved this tour by Seaalgarve! The guide and sailor both were so nice and also did a detour so we could see dolphins out in wild. 100% recommend!

2h30 of happiness - Everything was perfect, from booking online to getting off the boat. Very welcoming and very funny staff, always a little word that makes you smile; speaks several languages, no trouble following the explanations. We had the chance to see dolphins and took the time to take lots of photos. You can go there with your eyes closed😉

Recommended - Highly recommended for people who cannot or do not want to go on the fast rubber boats. Boat is not too big so the prow could almost enter the cathedral cave (near Benagil) (on the lower deck). Nice staff and drinks and a toilet on board. Very good price-quality ratio.

Great trip - The catamaran ride was smooth. The staff very accommodating and fun. I can’t believe the 2 story boat actually went into the Benagil Cave. The guide was multilingual, switched from Portuguese to English to French to Spanish without a blink. The boat was full for the 1 PM trip. The later trip went out with 13 passengers. When we come back we will try to get the less crowded one. But even with the full load it was great.

Would give this a miss - This experience involved being taken along the coastline and seeing various natural formations and then the benagil cave. Firstly on arrival, the lady at the desk who provided the tickets was plain rude and told us to come back at quarter to. Upon our return it turns out everyone had been let in to collect tickets and queue much earlier than this and we lost our opportunity to find an ideal spot on the boat despite turning up hours earlier. The boat was too big to go inside any of these ‘caves’ whereas practically every other boat could do this. We were pretty cramped with the number of people permitted on the boat. The music was painful and the tour guide kept making up things about the various cave structures such as it looking like an elephant, his face, a submarine etc. Would have been better to actually provide some historical/cultural details instead. The journey to the cave was along the coast and then the journey back just purely in the middle of the sea with no further tour guide input. There were no dolphins and when asked they said this tour had nothing to do with the dolphin feature. This was disappointing and after all of this they asked for tips which was ambitious
