I had a blast! I got seasick at first because the seas were rough but they did a great job making sure I felt healthy enough to enjoy the trip. Unfortunately we couldn’t go into the caves because we of high tide but it was still fun to see the baby dolphins
Thanks to the crew for this beautiful sea trip. We were able to see dolphins in their natural environment. It is a fantastic experience! The discovery of the caves is very pretty with the view from the boat of all the cliffs!
Too expensive for something that might or might not happen. They claim 96% success rate to see the dolphins but most comments prove otherwise. We did not see the dolphins and neither did the group before us. The cave tour was okay. Also told us to be at the pick up point 20 min earlier but we boarded the boat 20 min later than the scheduled time, so overall had to wait for almost one hr.
The staff is friendly. However, I have huge doubts about the announced success rate (95% success rate.) We were part of the 5%. I am aware that success cannot be predicted, I am just questioning the announced rate which makes us spend more than is reasonable. Very disappointed!
WOW, what an experience! This 2.5 hour boat trip was absolutely amazing! We booked through get your guide. We seen harbour porpois, a pod of common dolphins, a turtle and lots of tuna jumping in and out of the water (which the crew said that it very uncommon and they hadn’t seen before) There were approximately 30/35 people on the boat. The staff were incredible. Their passion for making the experience amazing but also for the sea life and the safety of the sea animals. Having a marine biologist on board was fantastic and such a nice touch and she was happy to answer any questions that you had. The tour of the coastline and the caves were truly amazing too! So fascinating to see and hear about how the caves and coastlines were formed. Overall it was a wonderful trip and I would highly recommend it.
Incredible experience and absolutely worth both the time and the investment. From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the scenery was breathtaking. The guides did an outstanding job explaining everything; we were also able to see the dolphins, which was great for our kids.
What a fabulous trip. Originally we wanted to do the caves then we were offered the dolphins and caves. It was amazing. We did the morning trip before it got too hot. We were fortunate to get the front seat in the boat. First we went to the beautiful benagil cave. It was awesome. Beautiful colours. Then we went to find the dolphins. The marine biologist on board told us to keep our eyes peeled. She explained which dolphins we saw. It was good to see them close up in their own environment .
This was a wonderful tour! The team was welcoming and taught us a lot. We were lucky to be able to see 4 fin whales and will treasure the experience forever. I highly recommend this.
What an incredible experience! Even though I went by myself, I never once felt alone. The entire team made everyone feel comfortable, welcomed, and included from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Dalila, who was absolutely wonderful to deal with. The customer service, professionalism, and information she provided were exceptional and truly helped make the experience so enjoyable and comfortable from start to finish. One of the highlights for me was having a marine biologist onboard who took the time to answer questions, educate everyone, and share such genuine respect and care for the sea life and environment. It made the entire experience even more meaningful and appreciated. You could truly feel their passion, not only for giving people a wonderful experience, but also for protecting and respecting marine life. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it — whether you’re going with others or adventuring solo like I did!
Lots of fun on a high speed boat. We saw many long nose dolphins which were magical. The benegil caves were also a great treat to see. Highly recommended.
