Thomas and Nelson were an amazing crew! We had a very nice time with complete explanations. We have seen lots of beaches ,beautiful caves and many dolphins! Special thank you to Thomas and Nelson !

I was a little upset that I only got to see 3 dolphins. It would of been a little better if you were able to get to the front. I recommend you take a jacket just in case as I got very wet coming back. Taken some lovely photos of the coastline.

Nice little trip to see the caves and dolphins. The staff onboard were very friendly and provided fun commentary. Unfortunately didn’t really get to see much of the famous Benagil cave as the boat was too big and you can only really get to it by kayak or SUP. We did see the dolphins which was excellent. Make sure you take a jacket as it gets a bit cold.

Booked this last minute and so glad we did. Boat was great. Fast, smooth and seats were comfortable. Take my hat off to to the captain who got us in really close to the caves. Best of all we seen two different species of dolphins which really made the trip. We were not rushed and spent a lot of time with them and even diverted on way back to land as captain spotted another school. Last, Our host (I think her name was Lauren) was amazing from start to finish she topped the trip all off. Would certainly recommend this trip to anyone and will be back myself in the future.

We were warned the sea could be rough but in fact it was not at all bad. Had some great views of dolphins, some swimming right beside the boat. Wonderful coast line, and Impressive boat handling allowed us to get in really close. One of the highlights of our trip to the Algarve

Really enjoyed this 2.5hr boat trip. Crew were excellent and informative. Saw lots of dolphins and then cruised the shoreline and caves with a very skilled captain!

I was warned the sea was "agitated" but it was a fun experience. Took awhile to find some dolphins but we did see them up close. Benagil cave was spectacular to see. The trip back in was a bit rushed, but we saw some beautiful caves and beaches.

great value experience! we saw a load of dolphins which was amazing and our tour guide laura was really impressive telling us all about the beautiful coastline.

We went on the morning trip along the coastline to see the caves. We were told it would be choppy, and it was. We absolutely loved it, exhilarating. We were not able to go into the caves due to sea conditions, which was understandable, but we were more than happy with what we saw. The coastline is stunning. The caves look amazing. We saw lots of little beaches only accessible by sea. What a beautiful country Portugal is.The staff on board are amazing and constantly check if you are OK. The captain was funny and witty, making us laugh. We started to get soaked with waves on way back, and he kindly brought us a large towel to lessen the impact. Absolutely brilliant trip.

All the seats had gone on the bigger boat, so we got seats on the smaller boat. I was so utterly terrified when it set off at top speed to find the dolphins, I thought I was going to die and clung in terror to my partner!!!! We didn't find any dolphins unfortunately but we understood there was a good chance we wouldn't as the sea was so choppy. We got soaked with big waves hitting us before we were offered raincoats to put on. Then it was so bad with the huge waves washing over us that we no longer looked out of the coats but just sat with them completely done up and prayed the worst of the waves would soon be over. Once we got near the coast again the journey was enjoyable. The Caves were amazing. On a good day this trip would have been worth it. Quite a few people felt seasick and were offered sick bags. The commentary was very basic and could have been so much better. Felt quite disappointed given the cost of the trip.
