It was really really amazing experience!! Our guide Rui was great, caring about all passengers well being, also knew his stuff, so his guiding was really great, informing about all. Kapitan Daniel must have good sense about ocean, because he sensed that it was a good wind to see dolphins, so we first went to see them and we really saw a lot of dolphins🤩😍. Then we were reaching to the coast to see caves which was also amazing. Thank you, it was worth the money.

Super Ausflug mit nettem Guide (Ruiz, nicht John 😉) und Captain Daniel. Wir haben zwei Delphingruppen gesehen. Genügend Zeit für Fotos und Videos. Anschliessend zur faszinierenden Steilküste und der Höhle von Benagil. Sehr entspannt im November. Zur Hauptsaison sieht es bestimmt etwas anders aus. Kann ich vorbehaltslos empfehlen.

Una experiencia genial! Vimos muchos delfines y fue muy emocionante. Ver las cuevas desde el mar fue sin duda una experiencia increíble. El bote muy adecuado y nos encantó que el grupo fuera de solo 12 personas. Nos faltó más información de parte de la guía. Ella podría haber enriquecido mucho más la experiencia. Compartió muy pocos datos sobre la vida de los delfines, conformación de las cuevas, vida marina del lugar, etc.. Supuestamente el tour es con un biólogo marino y eso fue lo que echamos de menos.
