Combo Benagil Caves + Dolphin Watching with Marine Biologist
Description
Our tour combines two of the most sought-after experiences of the Algarve in one trip: the iconic Benagil Cave and the observation of wild dolphins. Our boats allow us to get closer to the dolphins than many other boats, providing a closer and more exciting view of this unique encounter. Unlike many similar tours, we always have a marine biologist aboard, who shares knowledge about dolphin behavior and the local marine ecosystem — making the experience as educational as unforgettable. Our experienced team ensures a safe, respectful and responsible encounter with wildlife, always prioritizing the welfare of dolphins in their natural habitat.

Rigid-inflatable boat with 14 people, ideal for tours. The boat allows you to go into a few caves. Driver and guide very friendly and attentive. Going back up the coast after Benagil was top-notch.
This was the best tour, boat had engine more friendly to dolphins. Kids loved the kind of saddle seats the boat had.
Nice guides (marine biologist and skipper), we saw amazing dolphins and they actually came up close to us! And also saw some amazing caves up close. Definitely a must do while in Lagos!
Great experience to see dolphins in their own habitat. The boat trip to the open sea was also impressive. Blast at full speed over the waves. Keep in mind that you can get quite wet. Begali caves are beautiful to experience from the sea. Would have personally liked to spend more time watching dolphins.
We loved it! We managed to see the dolphins and the cave tour was excellent, you don't just go to the Benagil one, you also see others nearby and the coast.
I am going to post my review on Tripadvisor since Google is not publishing it! It makes you think that mixed reviews are not published! The provider sold us the trip with a 99% chance of seeing dolphins. Too bad we were part of the 1% who didn't see them! And we are not the only ones. You really have to be lucky to run into them! And yes, dolphins don't show themselves every day.... The guide did not speak French, contrary to what we had been sold.
We left early at 9 (definitely wear a jacket). Saw dolphins in three places, we were thrilled. The route from Benagil along the coast was also very beautiful. Our skipper got everything out of the boat 😉.
Top tour with a super tour guide and captain
Very lovely time discovering the Benagil caves in the evening. Taking photos is essential, the colors are magnificent
Very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly staff. They took us around caves that one could experience only aboard small boats.
