We took a small boat with Catarina who was our guide and Ruben who was our driver. Cat was so lovely and informative. It was a small boat so just our family and another couple which was nice. Toured many caves and some history was given of the coastline. I didn't attach our Benagil photo as my family was in it but was beautiful! No dolphin spotting on our trip but was still a nice experience !

Our boat tour was very well organised and the tour guides (Ana & Maria) were also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We also saw dolphins thanks to Tiago our sailor who did his best to get as close as possible while still keeping a safe distance. There were lots of chances to take pictures and also go for a swim! Definitely recommend & would book again!

From the start, we were warned that the weather conditions did not allow us to enter Benagil cave. We went offshore to see the dolphins. We stayed 15 minutes with other boats and saw dorsal fins The boat was going very fast - sometimes too fast and we took a wave a little too strong. I would still have appreciated if we had parked a little longer in front of Benagil, impossible to take a photo - we took time in front of other caves. In summary, I was a little disappointed but happy to have taken a family walk

Superb experience!! Our Luana Guide was perfect, she spoke several languages and made the effort to translate into all languages every time!! Thanks to her. Thanks also to Nicky the escort and Pedro our driver. The places visited are SPLENDID and we stopped to see the dolphins, we had the chance to see many and very close!!!😍😍 We did this activity in early March, dress on the water there is wind 😄 I recommend 100%!! 🤩

Great sight seeing the caves and dolphins. Friendly staff, incredibly skilled boat captain (Pedro) - but no "marine biologist" as the advertisement says. Basic information, but still a pleasant experience. Would recommend, just temper your expectations.

Great excursion with nice musical entertainment and very friendly guide Ana! And of course, the opportunity to see dolphins in nature!

We went on the 2,5 hour Benagil Boattrip and it was beyond amazing, thanks to Pedro, Liabi and Luana! They make sure in advance that you are comfortable (we were asked 3 times if we have any backproblems so we could sit in the back of the boat to prevent further backpain), and tell you many interesting facts about the Algarve. We were even so lucky and saw a group of dolphins on our tour! Pedro drove so good, we had always the best views on them, at some point they were literally right next to us One thing to mention in general is that you should bring a warm blanket or jacket with you since the drive back is a bit faster and it gets cold pretty fast if it‘s a bit cloudy.

Just a boat ride NOT a boat tour. Tour guides barely spoke. Didn’t tell us we were looking for dolphins first or explain that we weren’t swimming. Literally rode out then turned towards the coast and arrived at Bengali cave. No communication from the tour guides. There are a lot of other places so book with another company down in the marina.

It was a fantastic experience, shared in family. Visit the coast and caves with the luck to see also dolphins. A team of 5 stars Dany and Bia make the ride magical. Thanks.
