    My family including my teenage son had a fantastic time in the speed boat trip led by Mr.Petro and his crew. We were extremely lucky to see the beautiful Dolphins in the sea. The coastal lines and caves were also breathtaking. Definitely recommended.

    Simply exquisite. This trip was led by the leader Pedro and his team, Dominique and Renato. Pedro is very experienced, knowledgeable and above all, he made our excursion fun with his in-born sense of humour and wit. We were extremely lucky and actually spotted MANY dolphins (however this can not be guaranteed, please bear in mind) and had a thoroughly enjoyable visit of the caves and surrounding. We would wholeheartedly recommend this. The weather in Algarve between 27th to 30th December was beautifully bright and warm compared to the UK where we are from! This activity is suitable for whole family and children had a chance to ‘navigate’ the boat!

    What a bargain for such unforgettable experience. The crew was very involved and was happy what indeed we saw dolphins. Skillful visit to many caves expertly navigated. This trip was the highlight of our Armacoa de Pera stay, they even had a toilet on board
