The tour itself was great! The guides did a nice job to showing us the beautiful spots and must see places! We saw dolphins and the caves were amazing! Staff was very friendly. The only thing is finding the tour booth in the marina was tricky...I wish we had more detail...such as...you park on the main road wherever you can find parking...you have to take the stairs to the lower level...off the street...and the registration booth is at the nottom of stairs...give yourself an hour between parking...finding the booth and getting your tickets...
We saw dolphins twice, saw magnificent landscapes, the boat entered the Benagil cave. Translation in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Nice crew, music on board and the possibility of having access to a mini bar. Little extra: 15 min of swimming in the middle of the ocean. Top!
The crew is really top-notch We were lucky to see the dolphins and to go into the cave We were there as a family, the only "downside" we didn't think about beforehand is asking about the weather conditions because it was very windy and therefore it was very bumpy on the way there against the waves and it’s not necessarily suitable for young children. But the crew was top-notch and gave us jackets to protect the children. So a very good experience
Excellent experience very informative and funny tour guides. Kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Great stuff
Fantastic experience. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We spotted dolphins and amazing scenery.
Very good crew that speaks several languages, comfortable boat. We were lucky enough to see dolphins.
Very good time with the dolphins
Thanks to the whole team for the beautiful boat trip, you were top-notch. A big plus for your playlist 😉
Fantastic trip. Miguel and Bernard were great guides, very informative in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Daniel was a great driver. All crew were friendly and welcoming. We sped out to see the dolphins first. I would recommend going in the morning as you are more likely to see them. It was an amazing experience to see a pod of around 10 or 11 dolphins in the wild. We then saw the beautiful Benagil Caves, another wonderful experience. A real natural phenomenon. I would recommend seasickness tablets if you suffer. I took these and was fine, but there were a few queasy travellers. A must do trip on your holiday to the Algarve. Definitely worth the money.
The caves are extremely beautiful and the guides are friendly, fun , and caring
