Great day between land and sea 🥰
🌟 An unforgettable day full of adventures and smiles! 🌟
We chose the combined 4x4 formula in the morning and boat in the afternoon... and what HAPPINESS! No false rating, only stars full of eyes 🤩
In the morning, Carla picked us up from our apartment with her 4x4, to the delight of our children (who thought they were in the middle of an expedition!). She made us discover the hidden wonders of the Algarve hinterland by taking crossroads worthy of an adventure film. We loved it! We keep preciously all the good addresses to share with family and friends 🗺️💚
In the afternoon, head to the sea with the ultra friendly team of XRide! Relaxed Mood, guaranteed bursts of laughter, and icing on the cake: dolphins at the rendezvous 🐬 as well as the majestic cliffs that we never tired of admiring... 😍
In short: a MAGICAL day that we are not about to forget!
A huge thank you to Carla and the whole XRide team 🥰👏

A day to remember
Instant recommendation. Our day started with being picked up at our hotel with a very friendly greeting from the host. And after some other pick ups, we could start our tour. We were shown some historical places and some important parts/ places to the Portugees culture. We got to taste a local drink and were brought to a local bakkery with some tasty treats. The host taught us a lot about the history, the buildings, nature and really made us think for our selfs.
We also had the boat tour, which was so much fun. We were so lucky to see a group of dolphins with some juveniles. After that we got to see the caves. An amazing sight. And we got a picture of our group that was taken on the boat that we could buy when the tour was over.
Everybody was so friendly and it was such an amazing experience.

Wholesome Experience
Had an incredible time touring the countryside with Carla. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the traditions local to the area. All in all it was a busy day packed with information and personality. Carla is an incredible woman, she made us feel very welcome and she educated us on local traditions. We also had the pleasure of visiting a beautiful organic farm and tasted local produce.
After the countryside tour we had an immersive experience searching for dolphins. We were quite lucky and spotted a pod of Risso dolphins! 10/10 would definitely go on another trip with Zebra Safari

Good intro to the Algarve
Great tour for someone on a tight schedule. Bit of countryside and boat tour to the caves. Boat tour could be shorter though.

Wonderful day!
We had a great day with our tour guide Jorge (hope, I wrote the name right). We could tell that he loves his job and especially driving off-road. During the tour Jorge provided us with interesting facts about portuguese history, traditions and local habits. He has been such a lovely person all day long and made time fly by!
What you should know before booking: The jeep ride really is quite wild, but we loved it! Jorge had everything under control and drove us safely to different locations in the Algarve. It was a great way of seeing more than the usual beaches.
At the Second part of the day, while in the boat we had the great pleasure of seeing a few dolphins which clearly was our highlight of today. All in all we can highly recommend the tour. We're surely happy, we didn't miss this chance while on holiday over here. Thanks for this great day!

Amazing and wonderful day
The trip as a whole was absolutely amazing from learning about the areas and how different countries has influenced the growth and development of the land, to seeing how various jams and honeys are made. This was made all the more fun thanks to Carla Silva, who used both her craziness and knowledge to make the trip all the more fun and engaging, to top it all off the boat trip was magical as not only did we see dolphins in their natural habitat we also saw the beautiful natural cave formations, so we would like to express our thanks from the group today as it was a 10/10 day.

The tour was very enjoyable and covered a lot of the more rural side of Algarve. Learned some historical facts from our guide Carla Silva and enjoyed a extensive boat ride by the caves.
