Worth it! - Longer boat ride due to distance from Benagil and the search for the dolphins. Very end of March we got to see a small group of 10-15 common dolphins but the water was so clear we could sometimes see 5 of them at a time! Maria, our marine biologist aboard, was great to narrate and explain some of their activity. Even with the mostly calm waters, this tour is not for those who get motion sick easily. The boat bounced constantly for 20-30 minutes or more for 3 different segments of the trip, especially when opposing the waves. They are not kidding if you have neck or back problems that are easily affected by constant bouncing of the boat at high speeds. The crew do have ways to manage for the handful of people on our tour that still felt/got sick but they did have to sit at the back by the loud motor to find some relief. Its clear for all tours but just in case: there is no stopping on the beach at Benagil Cave, just pulling the boat inside to look and take pictures. We were lucky with a gorgeous sunny day - but we still wore the provided windbreakers over our long-sleeve shirts and jackets because of the high speed wind of the boat.

Exceptional tour - Very good tour with competent guides. During the trip, the dolphins were given enough space and they did not feel harassed. The information from the tour guide was very helpful.

Unique experience at the Atlantic - We were so lucky because almost 20 dolphins accompanied us. Even juveniles were there. That's great. Very good boat and top crew.

Very nice! - Very nice experience with a kind and generous guide. We had the chance to observe a flock of about twenty common dolphins. We had the experience with our 3-year-old boy. Things to do for young and old!

We're a long way... - We drove far out to finally find a group of common dolphins. The tour was pleasant, small group size, brisk boat. Very informative guidance.

Great tour despite TripAdvisor booking error - It's tricky to review this properly, as the company (Bom Dia) did provide us with a tour, but not the one we originally booked. Apparently, they have lots of issues with people booking via TripAdvisor with the booking not going through even though payment has been taken and it shows up on your bookings. I would highly recommend checking with them a few days after booking just to confirm it's gone through, or (to be safe) perhaps booking direct with Bom Dia or through another company instead of TripAdvisor. The reason why I have still given this 4 stars is because, despite this, the team at the check in desk were extremely understanding and apologetic, and managed to slot myself and my partner onto an afternoon (as opposed to our planned morning) boat tour to see dolphins but also to see some of the Benagil Caves. In doing so we got to see some Risso's dolphins (albeit not too close to the boat, and the photos do not do them any justice) but a pretty magical experience either way. Our marine biologist on board also gave us a little talk as we approached the end of the tour about those dolphins, telling us that the chance of seeing that species of dolphin is very rare, so as far as I am concerned, even though this was not the trip we planned, we still got to see dolphins (rare ones at that!) and even got to go into some of the Benagil caves which were pretty awesome.
