We were able to see wild dolphins and learn a bit about the local history of Portugal. The boat ride was so much fun.

Entering the caves and seeing the beautiful scenery. Staff were excellent! I would recommend the trip.

The scenery and cave were great. It would have been better if we were able to get out to see the cave up and close. The long ride in the ocean to find dolphins was not great and could have been skipped. I’m sure more times than not, no dolphins are found so time would of been better spent if we would of gotten off at the cave.

Started in Albuferia. Got on a boat. They were good about giving children life jackets. Most of the time is spent in transit on the speed boat (people on the ends got quite wet with all the splashing). Had some caves pointed out along the wave. Stopped for about 10 minutes for an optional swim. The water was quite choppy, so not too many people did that. Then you finally get to the Benagil cave. But we spent just a few minutes there, and turned the boat around. It was disappointing not to be able to go further in the cave (probably because of the boat size) or spend more time there... then the long transit back home. Bonus was they did stop for us to see some dolphins. But otherwise, if you want a little more of a benagil tour, probably book a kayak trip or small boat trip.

Jamie and David were excellent! Very funny and informative. This is a must while in Albufeira! The boat throws you about a bit but it's a smashin trip and the views are outstanding!

Great outing the guides were knowledgeable. Saw some awesome caves and a view like no other. Even though we didn’t see any dolphins it was a great tour!

I booked through trip advisor and was told quite promptly that they had not reached the required numbers for the trip I booked. I was given the choice of going later or moving to the Insonia trip. I chose Insonia so this review is mostly for that however I was very happy with the staff I encountered and how the situation was handled. The Insonia trip was nice, it was lovely to view the caves and shoreline but (February trip) we were not allowed off the boat which I was expecting from the description. After viewing the caves we went out to sea to look for dolphins. Our experience declined from here as there were no more stops for the crew to explain the situation (no dolphins could be found) nor to check on passengers - definitely green around the gills! Although it was advertised for all ages, I would suggest a catamaran style cruise for younger kids unless they are very used to sea travel! My 3 and 8 year olds didn't enjoy it after the caves bit. One woman caused a bit of a stink because they hadn't seen dolphins but its pretty obvious, you can't control wild creatures, especially in February!

We enjoyed the tour to the cliffs and caves. Because my wife has mobility and back issues the crew ensured that she was seated in the back where the wave impacts were more tolerable for her. They were very considerate. We didn’t see any wales or dolphins on this trip but the caves were spectacular. They actually steered the boat into two of the caves. A word of caution. The Atlantic Ocean is very cold at this time of year so bringing warm clothing makes the trip more enjoyable.

It might have been better in a smaller boat but with choppy seas, this larger boat was fine and the captain was able to maneuver it wonderfully in some tight places. Crew were nice

ellenf545

The boat was comfortable; the staff very nice and the sights, of course, were stellar. We did the tour on a very warm November day (bring a jacket either way). Seeing the dolphins was a high point; although we were told we'd probably not see them. It was fantastic.
