I had a great time on this trip. It was amazing to see The Benagil caves so close. We got lucky and did see a lot of dolphins too. It never felt intrusive as it was up to the dolphins to approach us. The guides on the boat were excellent, and really funny. I highly recommend this trip

Very friendly captain and crew. Great boat trip. Make sure you have enough warm clothes and are ready to be sprayed by water. The ride was very choppy and we had to hold tight. It would not be advisable to eat before the trip. Most enjoyed the trip - lots of "Whee! Woah!", one passenger was ill though. We did not see any dolphins and due to sea conditions could not go near enough to see caves. This was in February. Overall a great experience.

Bon accueil et prise en charge à quai et sur le bateau,un des accompagnateur o top,il parlait bien français, C'était "sport"! De bonnes vagues pour aller o large,on a bien vu les dauphins et longer de très belles falaises et grottes ( pas trop à l'intérieur pour d raisons de sécurité sûrement car houle...) Petit bémol : la pollution de ces bateaux que l'on empreinte, surtout l'été avec 1000personnes à transporter par jour....) A quand une énergie plus responsable pour les bateaux touristiques..,...?!
