Three in one

This trip is recommended, fine to do in 2.5 hours. Good guides, of course dolphins spotted and fantastic to admire the caves of Benagil so close up. And in between wonderful sailing with a fresh wind.

Sea adventure

Great 2.5 hours at sea with very knowledgeable staff who spoke Portuguese, English, French and Spanish to cater for all on board. Captain guided the 53 ft boat right into one of the caves. Our luck was out on the day as the dolphins were not seen but you are made aware of this when booking.

Good tour but things to note

The crew was very friendly and funny. They made it a good experience. The water was really choppy and they take you out on a big speed boat so we got soaked and were pretty cold most of the trip. Wish I had packed a water proof jacket since it made the experience less enjoyable. We didn’t get to see dolphins and you don’t go into the Bengali caves but the caves and coastline were very pretty from the water. The crew shared some fun facts and jokes about the beaches and landmarks.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our crew's friendly attitude, sense of humor, and the information they shared about the coastline, beaches, and landmarks. We'll be sure to pass along your kind comments to them. We're sorry that the sea conditions were rough on the day of your tour and that you ended up getting wet and feeling cold during the trip. Unfortunately, conditions on the ocean can sometimes be unpredictable, especially on our speedboat tours. We always recommend bringing a waterproof jacket, particularly outside the warmer summer months. Algarve Charters

This was a very unique...

This was a very unique experience as we had a whale sighting in the deep sea. Staff was very friendly. Our earlier ride had to be cancelled due to bad weather but the company contacted us promptly and arranged another ride later in the evening.
