Excellent tour. Expert captain handled a large boat in confined space with great expertise. Smooth ride and plenty of dolphins!
We came from Porto and we were completely enchanted with this experience! 😍The walk to the caves of Benagil with the XRide was simply magical, a moment that gave me the desire to cry when entering that supernatural cave. Seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat was an unforgettable moment, with unknown people in which all together for the same, we became in that silence of suspense and anxiety looking for such beautiful dolphins, in which we could then appreciate with joy.The story of the Beatles and the submarine was fantastic! I didn’t realize if it was a real fact or a story created to delight us, or entertain us 😅but I come home smiling because it was pretty funny! This doubt made everything even more special, between the balance of the boat and the fascination of that rocky "submarine" such Yellow submarine. The guides were always very friendly, attentive and welcoming, making the trip even more memorable.I wish you a lot of luck because you managed to make our arrival to the Algarve even unforgettable!An experience that we highly recommend!
It was a fun trip but they did not really give you an option to swim the the sea. They were very friendly and give basic information.
The crew on the boat were excellent. We were luck to see the dolphins for about 20 minutes. The views of the caves and rock formations were spectacular
The guys were very good, friendly, never intrusive, and patient. Aside from a group of "chickens," everything was fine.
Amazing experience dolphins were out in force caves were absolutley beautiful. Best of all staff made the experience unforgetable thank you to Raul Fernando and Diago just fabulous.
Incredible experience, we were advised on choosing this boat and we do not regret it at all. The entertainment on board is great, the discoveries at sea as well as swimming and the dolphins captivated us. We recommend this boat as well as its crew.
Me and my partner were on the boat ride and it was such a beautiful experience! Seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat was amazing. I’ve always loved dolphins so I was so happy that I got to see them 🥰 the tour guides were very friendly and funny too and we got to see the caves including the Benagil. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Albufeira
Memorable experience. Everything was super beautiful. The crew's treatment, especially Vitor and Rodrigo, was fantastic, very attentive at all times. Also, Captain Varela did everything he could for us to see dolphins. Recommended!!
It was great; it is something you must do, but pay attention to the safety instructions. You can see dolphins and take a tour along the coast, seeing so much that you cannot explore quickly.
