TOP excursion
Today's tour with Thomas and Daniel was super great. High-speed out to sea, encountered dolphins there, and then drove into the caves, brilliant tour. Thomas took very good care of all participants in 3 languages.
Everything was very friendly and competent. Would love to do it again.

Breath taking views and picturesque!
We had an incredible rib boat tour to see the caves and the dolphins. Our original date was cancelled
Due to the sea conditions, but they were very accommodating in letting us change dates to a day and time that suited us. We had Tomas and Daniel and they were both fantastic! The information given was impressive and Tomas even shared some other recommendations for other things to do and see! The caves were breath taking and picturesque and we were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins in their natural habitat! We had a brilliant time and I would recommend anyone to do this trip!
Operator response

Jewels are worth more than money
Very nice tour, small boat of 18 people so you can go a piece into the cave. We took the morning tour so that there were only quiet people on it (no drunk English people) and we saw enormous dolphins. The guides Tomas (and captain Daniel) were very pleasant. Their explanation was adapted to the age of the children, which they found very nice.
Operator response
Heel erg bedankt voor jullie fijne review! Wat leuk om te horen dat jullie genoten hebben van de boottocht, de grotten en de vele dolfijnen! We geven jullie complimenten zeker door aan Tomás en Daniel. Fijn dat hun uitleg ook goed aansloot bij de kinderen. Hopelijk tot een volgende keer!

What an incredible experience!!
The dolphin and cave experience was incredible! We wanted wanted to do something exciting having two young boys and this really lived up to everyones expectations. The speedboat was fun, the caves were beautiful but being so close to the wild dolphins was mind blowing. Thank you so much to Filip and Daniele Felix for making the trip so memorable. I also want to note that I could believe that we had that entire experience for just €140 for the 4 of us. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled that the whole family enjoyed the speedboat, caves and especially the dolphins! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Filipe and Daniel. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

We recommend it 100%
My family and I wanted to take a trip to the Algarve, but without ending up on a big boat, in a crowd.
So Seacret's smaller boats charmed us.
Big favorite for our guide Francisco, who is passionate about his work. He took the time to chat with all the boat passengers.
The landscapes in the south of Portugal are magnificent. Plus, we were able to see dolphins at the very end of the excursion.
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique témoignage ! Nous sommes ravis que nos petites embarcations vous aient permis de profiter de l’Algarve dans une ambiance plus intime. Un grand merci également pour vos mots sur Francisco, nous lui transmettrons avec plaisir ! Quel bonheur que vous ayez aussi eu la chance d’apercevoir les dauphins !

Terrible
It was terrible how much water splashed on us for a long time; we suffered more than we enjoyed it.
