Our experience was during a rough sea day, so although we couldn’t enter the cave, we pulled up close to Benagil Cave. The landscape was still breathtaking. The ride on the raft was really fun, but definitely not for anyone with back problems. Our driver and guide were mildly hospitable. It would have been great to hear a bit more about what we were seeing though. Overall a good value.

What a perfect tour, Nuno and Gonzales were superb, I had such a beautiful time and it was great to hear about the history of the different places we went through and to see the absolutely astounding sites. Would highly recommend.
Marie and Nunu were wonderful! They showed us around the different caves (not just Benagil), and also pointed out various villages and landmarks along the way. The boat ride was a lot of fun!
Excellent moment, friendly, affable, and competent crew. Beautiful local that I advise you to visit.
Muito obrigado pelas suas palavras! Ficamos muito felizes por saber que teve uma excelente experiência e que apreciou a simpatia e o profissionalismo da nossa tripulação. Esperamos voltar a recebê-lo em breve para mais uma aventura!
Amazing experience! Be ready for a bumpy but incredibly fun boat ride. Gonzales and Nano were amazing—friendly, professional, and made the trip even more enjoyable. The views of the caves and coastline were absolutely spectacular. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the exciting boat ride, the spectacular caves and coastline, and the company of Gonzales and Nano. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
Such a fun experience! The team at Dolphin Seafaris made our boat trip fun & enjoyable while also being informational & offering to answer questions. It was a bit of a rough ride, definitely would not recommend for kids, people with limited mobility, or older folks as you really need to be able to hang on during the boat ride. Our guys also spotted large groups of dolphins on the water twice & made sure to stop so we could watch! It seems like a lot of the 16hr (4pm) rides get canceled because of rough waters later in the day (ours did) but they were able to rebook us an earlier time at 14hr (2pm) which was great because we were available & didn’t need to miss it! Overall great experience!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the trip, our team’s explanations and, especially, the opportunity to see two large groups of dolphins. Sea conditions can sometimes make the ride more adventurous or require schedule changes, as safety is always our priority. We’re glad we could rebook you for an earlier departure so you didn’t miss the experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you aboard again!
A 10 out of 10 experience. We chose the boat tour to visit the beaches and the caves of Lagos, and we could not have chosen better. Our guides, Barratas and David, were very nice from the very first moment. They explained the entire history of Lagos and the caves in great detail, making the visit very interesting. In addition, they were very kind, friendly, and had a great sense of humor, making jokes throughout the tour and creating a very pleasant atmosphere. Without a doubt, a totally recommended experience. Thank you very much for everything!
¡Muchísimas gracias por su reseña tan detallada! Nos alegra muchísimo que Barratas y David le hayan atendido tan bien desde el primer momento y que disfrutara de sus explicaciones sobre la historia de Lagos y las cuevas, además de su simpatía y sentido del humor. Trasladaremos con mucho gusto su comentario al equipo. ¡Esperamos recibirle de nuevo a bordo pronto!
We had an amazing experience on this tour. The boat ride along the coastline was exhilarating- the kids loved the speed of the boat. We got in really close to many caves. There was an opportunity to stop and swim and try cliff jumping. The tour guide offered tips of what to see and where to go, as well as knowledge of the caves and coastline. Highly recommend if you like thrill seeking, but not for the elderly because of the design of the seats.
Thank you, Jennifer, for such a detailed review! We're delighted the kids loved the speed of the boat and that you got to try cliff jumping and get close to so many caves. We really appreciate you flagging the seat design too - it's useful feedback for guests planning their trip. Hope to welcome your family back to Lagos soon!
They canceled the activity for me twice, and I missed the best tour. I do not recommend them. They also did not lift a finger for the refund. I had to follow up with Getyourguide myself.
Lamentamos mucho su experiencia, Marcela. Las cancelaciones solo se producen cuando las condiciones del mar no son seguras para nuestros pasajeros, pero entendemos perfectamente su frustración al ver la actividad cancelada dos veces. Lamentamos especialmente que no haya sentido el apoyo necesario durante el proceso de reembolso a través de Getyourguide; eso no es lo que queremos para ningún cliente. Nos gustaría revisar su caso directamente con nosotros para asegurarnos de que quede resuelto. Gracias por hacérnoslo saber.
What an adventure! Our group of 11 (ages 7-76) lucked out and got the Tornado boat all to ourselves and had a super fun day at sea! It was a fast and bumpy ride out to the caves - we all shrieked with joy as our boat hit the waves! The caves were stunning, and our captain and crew gave us lots of great history and insights into what we were seeing. We all had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour!
What a group to have aboard - thank you for sharing this! We love that all 11 of you, from age 7 to 76, got the Tornado boat to yourselves and had such a thrilling ride through the waves. So glad the caves and our captain and crew's insights made it extra special. We'd love to have you all back for another adventure!
