Amazing Benagil Tour - We went on the 2,5 hour Benagil Boattrip and it was beyond amazing, thanks to Pedro, Liabi and Luana! They make sure in advance that you are comfortable (we were asked 3 times if we have any backproblems so we could sit in the back of the boat to prevent further backpain), and tell you many interesting facts about the Algarve. We were even so lucky and saw a group of dolphins on our tour! Pedro drove so good, we had always the best views on them, at some point they were literally right next to us One thing to mention in general is that you should bring a warm blanket or jacket with you since the drive back is a bit faster and it gets cold pretty fast if it‘s a bit cloudy.

Good experience, would recommend it. But no marine biologist on board - Great sight seeing the caves and dolphins. Friendly staff, incredibly skilled boat captain (Pedro) - but no "marine biologist" as the advertisement says. Basic information, but still a pleasant experience. Would recommend, just temper your expectations.

Reasonable - It was beautiful, but the boat was very full, there was a lot of Muslim without respect for anyone, they vomited the entire boat, were unpleasant with the other travellers as well as with the crew. The crew did everything they could to minimize the problem.

Not a boat tour just a boat ride - Just a boat ride NOT a boat tour. Tour guides barely spoke. Didn’t tell us we were looking for dolphins first or explain that we weren’t swimming. Literally rode out then turned towards the coast and arrived at Bengali cave. No communication from the tour guides. There are a lot of other places so book with another company down in the marina.
