Awesome afternoon boat cruise to the Benagil Caves and Dolphins - The crew on the boat were very engaging. We saw several groups of dolphins. That’s where I’m all around the boat somewhere so close you could almost touch them. And the caves are spectacular. A couple of folks decided to have a swim. Brrrrr! Not for me thanks but they said it was invigorating.. (March 5, 2026)

Well worth it. - This was such a good trip. The staff were very knowledgeable and fun. We went on a day it wasn’t sunny so got a bit cold. Take a jacket if it’s winter time.

Boat trip on Atlantic Ocean - Boat trip with cozy music. Went to sea looking for Dolphins, but unfortunately not found. Back along the rocks of Algarve sailed with explanations for each rock. Most rocks have names. We skipped the swim stop on December e1😉.

Great experience - It was a great experience seeing the cliffs and the Algarve caves. We have also went to look at the dolphins and we have managed to see them. The crew was very knowledgeable and could speak 4/5 languages which was impressive. Highly recommend

Amazing tour loved every minute - This was a fabulous excursion to see the sights of some of the Portuguese coast. Some absolutely stunning views and we saw the dolphins. The staff were really great and friendly and were attentive. There is a swim stop which would be great in the summer months- 1 boy did do it though! Dropped one star as we'd pre booked the day before and when we turned up there wasn't space for us so we had to wait 2 and a half hours for the next one.

Fantastic crew - Fantastic crew, not their fault the weather was cold and we did not find dolphins, which made the trip to the caves very long
