Fantastic experience great day out with them 100percent recommend Shane/will and mj
The trip to the Benagil caves turned out to be one of those experiences that stays with you. The caves were even more impressive than the photos, and seeing dolphins glide alongside the boat added a bit of magic to the whole trip. Yaro, our guide, brought the journey to life — funny, enthusiastic, and full of stories about the coastline and its hidden spots. His energy made everyone feel relaxed and excited, and it genuinely felt like he turned a beautiful excursion into something memorable. Thank you 😊
Went to the Benagil caves and dolphin spotting with Dremwave tours at the bottom of the marina and we all said it was the best day of our trip! The guides and captain of the boat were so friendly, the music was fab and the guide was very knowledgeable. The dolphins were absolutely out of this world, so awesome to see right up beside the boat! The Benagil cave was actually stunning! We went in a bigger boat and still managed to get right inside the cave! Thank you for making our trip an awesome one! This is a memory we will treasure as a family forever!
Superb experience, superb team with Pedro and Ugo who shared beautiful landscapes with us and took care of us, all in a good, warm atmosphere with superb music at every event during the excursion. We highly recommend them to you 1000000% we were amazed. We were also able to see the dolphins, whose environment the crew respected.
Superb experience, great discoveries and good atmosphere
Was a great experience! We had a great time! The staff was very friendly. It is open boat - which is great! You will sail along the coast for visiting the caves and sail a bit out to sea to spot the dolphins! We were very lucky to see them!
What a lovely experience! We were so lucky to see dolphins jumping in the water. The guides were caring, competent and very friendly. Caves and rocks were stunning. Would come back any time. 🫶🏽
Great experience with João! Highly recommended sightseeing tour.
A big highlight of our vacation! The music on the boat adds to the experience. Perfect duration. Respect for the animals (maximum of 3 boats near the dolphins).
Don’t be late, this company does not wait for you although they called and you told them you will be only 2 mins late!
