Great trip. The captain and crew were very engaging and pointed out all of the sights. I will recommend this tour!
Great tour. The crew was very professional.
Great value brilliant crew who went above and beyond friendly and funny. Weather good will recommend anytime
We had a fantastic boat trip and would highly recommend it! The staff were amazing – especially the three Johns (yes, they were all called John!). They were incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and made sure everyone had a great experience. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins, which was a real highlight of the trip. Before we went, the team recommended that we didn’t bring our baby due to the sea conditions. We’re so glad we listened to their advice, as it was quite choppy out on the water. It really showed that they genuinely care about their customers’ safety and comfort rather than just getting people onboard. Despite the choppy conditions, we still had a brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you to all the crew!
Having been told it might be a bit choppy in parts but it is safe we set off . . The first hour was a bit choppy - what followed for the next two hours was nothing short of a nigtmare. The boat was sideways, up and down. Everybody had to come inside so the 60 people who should be shared across the boat were crammed in the little inside bit as too dangerous to be outside. People being sick in bags and on the floor. How this company can operate if they cant read the sea charts and radars ill never know. No chance of a dolphin - only thing likely to be seen in the sea was the paying guests ! Very dangerous ! Crew lovely and did their best - 12 yr kld traumatised!
Great experience. Attentive and knowledgeable boat crew. Saw many dolphins. Bar available, upper and lower outside deck as well as sheltered area
The staff from the kiosk to the boat where absolutely professional and and friendly, the boat was comfortable and very stable a great 2+ hours of high octane fun, strongly recommend.
Great crew, good space. Beautiful view. The kids were allowed to drive the catamaran, which was great stas. Taked a good time to explain and took a walk out to see the dolphins. Highly recommended! But the kids should be a little big (our youngest is 9) as there is a little slip from the boat.
Liebe/r Helene, Vielen Dank für Ihre fantastische Bewertung! Unsere Crew wird sich sehr über Ihr Feedback freuen. Es freut uns, dass Ihre Kinder die Erfahrung genossen haben, besonders das Steuern des Katamarans und das Beobachten der Delfine. Beste Grüße, Algarexperience Team
Vey nice catamaran ride. We were able to see beautiful beaches and caves. The captain Sergio and crew were very knowledgeable about the area. The only negative part was the catamaran wouldn’t fit into the Bengali cave so we didn’t get to see the cave opening.
Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the catamaran ride and the stunning sights along the way. Our team, led by Captain Sergio, takes great pride in providing knowledgeable and enjoyable excursions for our guests. Hope to see you again soon!
