An outstanding boat trip

I am not usually a fan of boat trips but this was was outstanding. We followed the beautiful Algarve coastline and the guide popped up often to point out the relevant highlights. There was a little bar on board, and lots of opportunities to take photos and to even take a dip in the sea.

Operator response

Many thanks for your lovely review! We are very happy you enjoyed the coastline and a dip in the sea and took a lot of photos to remember!

Must do!

Epic coastal beauty!! You must go! Tour could have been better if guides wore microphones so they could speak to everyone rather than just several people at a time.

Operator response

Many thanks for taking the time to review us and we are pleased you had an amazing time with us, we do like to keep the personal touch speaking to small groups in various languages, but we will dicuss with our team how they would feel about the microphone idea. Kindest Regards from us all here at Ocean Quest

Once in a life time experience. 🐬

What an amazing experience which a great company, the guides were lovely, friendly and knowledgeable.. We head straight for where the Dolphins had been spotted earlier that morning, and we were not disappointed, 45 minutes we sat watching them while other tour operators spent 5 minutes and left. We then head for the caves. What an experience and memories made for a life time.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful words abour our company and our staff! We are happy that you saw dolphins and had a lot of time to observe them in their natural habitat and also visited the caves!

Recommend the boat tour to explore Benagil caves!

The Benagil cave tour with the Ocean Quest company turned out to be a memorable experience. the boat is bigger than others - our boat had 50- 70 people approx. They had seats all around the boat periphery, and in the center under a covered canopy. The cabin had a snack and drinks counter that you can pay for. When entering the boat, they offered a welcome drink - nice mango and orange juice combo. When returning back to the dock, they offered two separate Portuguese sweets - both of which were so good. We saw the Benagil caves from the boat - the boat goes in as much as possible and this is the best way to see the cave and the hole in the top. You are not able to see much when hiking on top of the cliff near the same cave. No one is allowed to step onto the beach under the cave anymore. The boat entered the cave area, backed up, and then reentered. So incase you missed out on the photo op, you can take some more. The boat stopped at a spot if people wanted to go swimming -the water was as they say -refreshing (code for very cold). We saw some dolphins from far on the way to the caves. Overall, recommend this tour if you are looking for an option to take a boat ride. Can check the smaller boats with fewer people on, and they are able to take some time to pursue the dolphins further, or go further in Benagil caves maybe. On the other hand, smaller boats don't have room to walk around, lounge on the seats, and don't have a bathroom like the bigger one (the one we were on) did.
