Olivia – United Kingdom

We had wonderful trip. The guide and captain was informative and made extra effort to ensure we saw the dolphins. The sights were amazing and we had a good laugh on the bumpy ride!

W
Wendy – United Kingdom

Amazing trip. We saw 5 bottlenose dolphins that played next to us and went under the boat. The caves are spectacular! The captain has amazing control of the boat given there were a lot of other boats and kayaks around the area. The guide was good too with local knowledge and a great sense of humour. Totally recommend this tour!

Didier – BelgiumMay 28, 2025 – Verified booking
For starters the boat was at 65% capacity, so more then enough room to sit down in comfort. We dirst set out to spot anything feom dolphins to whales and/sharks. And we lucked out big time! We got to see 6-7 dolphins and a couple of baby dolphins! Then we visited the caves. Beautiful to see. And the guide gave great anecdotal info about some spots. On the way back you get to enjoy the beauty of the coastline that the Algarves has to offer. Stunning! If you have a history of sea sickness be warned. It gets “wild” at times. And when you come to a “stop” to watch the dolphins and float around there is a high chance you get seasick!
