Ticket

Itinerary

Admission included60 min

Your adventure starts as soon as you and your small group board the custom-designed boat at Albufeira marina, from where you'll jet off at high speed down the stunning coastline. Things slow down a bit as you approach the renowned sea caves near Carvoeiro beach.

60 min

Here, you'll enter the intriguing formations by boat – marvelling at the vaulting arches of the caves overhead. Then, it's back up to full throttle as you're whisked away from the coast out into the open sea – where there's a really good chance that you'll spot pods of wild bottlenose and common dolphins cavorting in the waves near the boat.

Great Dolphin Experience

The overall experience was fantastic! The only problem was information about the experience. We didn't have specific information on where to go besides to the marina. Besides that, we saw the Benagil Caves and dolphins! Great trip. Our guides, Luana, Bruno, and the captain were great. Definitely recommend it.

We saw the dolphins!

A brilliant experience, we got to see a pod of dolphins! The caves amazing and staff really friendly. The staff knew all the history. They take you right up to the caves and allowed you plenty of time to look for the dolphins .

A great afternoon

A very entertaining boat trip, the captain was very informative and we also got to see dolphins, up close. We would 100% recommend this trip. The afternoon was made even more entertaining, thanks to a group of young French men who ended up with a sing song coming back into port. Thank you lads.

Fantastic caves and lots of dolphins

A wonderful trip with many beautiful caves and a beautiful coastline. After the caves, the crew of Vires, headed by Captain Pedro, made sure we saw many dolphins. If you're in the area don't cheat yourself for this experience

Bof

How to say it tells us to be there 40 minutes before I’m not what it’s for we can’t check in before talking about the dolphins we stealthily saw them the cave and beautiful but unfortunately we can’t so swim as it is written on the site a swim of 5 minutes and still I’m wide but in another place on the site we are asked to make a choice for the language it speaks very little French we understood nothing and to close everything they pass a box to put money in but here joke we already paid 175€ shame to you

Algarve- impressive view from the sea

Simply a great experience. Along the cliffs and coast. Partly into the grottos. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, that's how it is in nature. But we got an impression from a speedboat.

Breathtaking Experience

This boat tour was amazing. We were lucky enough first to see a large number of dolphins playing around the boat. Then we visited several of the caves along the coast between Albufeira and the Alfanzina Lighthouse. The landscape along this coast is breathtaking. The crew on the boat were informative and helpful. This was a highlight of our holiday in Algarve.
