Great experience and fun! Excellent value - A great trip. The crew were friendly and professional and did everything to ensure a wonderful trip along the amazing coast. The RIB is stable and although fast the ride was exciting and we always felt safe. We are an older couple and we were treated with kindness and respect. Although the sea conditions meant we could not enter the Bengali cave there was so much to see so we were not disappointed. We did not see any dolphins despite an extensive hunt but the trip was great value for money and fun!

Worth a trip and value for money - The trip was well worth the money. Due to weather conditions, they informed me that they couldn't proceed with my booked time slot and offered alternative options. The communication was excellent. We booked a later trip and were out for the full advertised duration. Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to see dolphins this time, but it is something that is not always guaranteed. We would certainly try again next time we are in Algarve. The crew provided us with valuable information about the various locations along the coast and also had a good sense of humor.

Bucket list dolphin watching - ticked! - Absolutely incredible - it was calm with blue skies, the caves were amazing. We eventually found dolphins after about 30 min and it was worth the wait - they played around the boat for about 8 minutes - up really close! I would definitely recommend wrapping up though it is very chilly and the boat was flying - which was great on a flat sea.

Scenic views of the... - Scenic views of the Algarve Coastline. Not educational, but fun nonetheless. We did not get to see the dolphins. The tour is the full 2.5 hours. Good value for money.

Really enjoyed the tour.... - Really enjoyed the tour. We got very lucky and saw a large pod of dolphins what jumped and swam next to our boat as we cruised long for 10-15 minutes. It was awesome. The caves were cool too but the dolphins were the highlight. Only issue is that the seat cushions must had a lot of water in them from the night before. The seat surface looked dry but after sitting on them for 20 minutes, our family’s pant seats were quite wet and it definitely did not splash from the ocean while touring.

Loud music, got soaked - Don’t go if you don’t want to experience a fast and reckless boat ride and don’t want to get wet. Driver Seemed more focused on providing a “thrill” ride and playing very loud rock and club music than showing us the caves. We barely stopped at the caves and got only a brief explanation about them.

Health and safety, over loading boat, no dolphins - The speed boat was really small and we were squashed in because there was far too many people in the boat. Clearly overloaded. Saw the caves and then straight back, as they said there were no dolphins to see, even though the description is to see dolphins! I complained to Viator, but they simply said the company refused part refund! An absolute joke, ignored my grievances, so I have take to putting on a poor review, which I really did not want to do.
