- Restaurante Vista Rio - Hotel Riverside - This tour offers two unforgettable experiences in one: spotting dolphins in their natural environment and exploring the renowned Benagil Cave along with other stunning rock formations on the Algarve Coast, from Parchal, Lagoa to Benagil.
The tour can last up to 3 hours, with the itinerary varying based on the dolphins’ location. Expect a family-friendly, cheerful, and knowledgeable team eager to share their enthusiasm, insights, and fascinating facts about the marine life and rock formations encountered.
The most frequently observed cetacean species include the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). While this tour is subject to nature’s whims, it is a collaborative effort with other ICNF (Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation) accredited companies, enhancing the chances of sightings. Additionally, various seabirds such as the Gannet (Morus bassanus) and Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) are often seen.
During the summer, if sea and weather conditions permit, there is a stop in a bay for those wishing to swim in the tranquil and crystal-clear waters.
