Thrilling ride to Benagil Caves! - Our tour was 2.5 hr Benagil Cave and Dolphins Boat tour. While a large portion was spent unsuccessfully searching for dolphins, the final destination of the cave was well worth the trip! The gorgeous blue water, striped limestone cave with its circular opening to the blue sky makes for fabulous photos!! The tour continued as the coastline stretches with additional caves, arches, formations and beaches. It was a photographic delight!

Magical Trip - Wonderful morning out. Knowledgeable,entertaining, informative staff. Had great fun. Caves & cliffs were amazing & great info from staff. Lovely to go into caves & skilled manoeuvring from the lads! Tides weren’t really with us so it made things awkward! Then we went to find the dolphins & find them we did!!!! Lots of dolphins very nearby, jumping & twirling & seemed happy to entertain their guests!!! It was beautiful, amazing, wonderful, memorable! Thanks soo much, we three really loved it!!

Exceptional trip - Absolutely amazing experience. The dolphins were so close we could almost touch them. Gave us a splendid performance jumping high out of the water in pairs. The caves were spectacular and able to go right into them. It was truly a magical few hours. Both guides were funny and knowledgeable and a good group of people to share the experience with. Had a wonderful time.

Well worth the trip! - Wow.. what an amazing trip! Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our trip where we saw a pod of dolphins up close and personal, including some baby dolphins. Breathtaking experience! We could not fault the two guides on the boat who were very knowledgable about the caves and beaches we saw. Constantly stoping to explain the history of the area. We was able to actually go in the caves due to the size of the boat and an experienced driver. Already recommended this trip to friends and family!

Fun boat trip - Great trip and the two guides friendly and polite. Unfortunate we didn’t get to see the dolphins and the waves were too big to actually go into some of the caves. Great fast boat!
