This ride was the highlight of my entire Spain and Portugal trip. We saw tooooo many dolphins and the caves were so majestic. We saw a lot of the Portugal coastline as well which is stunningly beautiful. What a great tour! They underpromised and over delivered!!!

Fantastic Tour and an Amazing Guide!
This Jeep Safari was one of the highlights of our time in the Algarve and was absolutely worth the time and money.
Not only do you get to visit a variety of beautiful and interesting places, but you learn so much about the region, its history, culture, and local traditions along the way. The scenery in the Algarve Mountains is stunning, and the off-road portions added a fun sense of adventure without being too strenuous.
Our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining, and clearly passionate about sharing the Algarve with visitors. He made the day enjoyable from start to finish and helped turn a great tour into a memorable experience.

Great tour & we seen the dolphins!
Bruno, our tour guide, was great fun - he kept us entertained with plenty of conversation and stories about the villages along the coast. An added bonus was seeing the dolphins. They're not guaranteed, but we were lucky enough to spot them several times, and they even swan alongside our boat. Bring an extra T-shirt, as it can feel quite cool if it's windy.

Fred made our day!!!!
Fred, Fred, Fred!!!! He definitely made our experience exceptional. Fred was so knowledgeable of the area and you can tell he absolutely loves the land and nature. He respects the land and it was really passionate about his work. The adventure was amazing and the 7 hours flew by. The lunch was excellent. pick up and drop off were on time and perfect. I really recommend this adventure.

Excellent trip, safe and fun
The crew were fantastic, very friendly and encouraging with our children. Local knowledge was excellent and we all felt very very safe on this trip. The boat was great and we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking in and out of the famous caves. We’ve never kayaked before and as novices found it very reassuring that two powered ribs and two guide on kayaks supported us throughout. Good value for money and highly recommended.

Good day but a hike
Ricardo was a good guide. Showed us all the hot spots for good pictures. We recommend this tour but if you are not steady on your feet it might not be for you. There is walking on uneven rocky hilly terrain but you also have a second option to meet the van up ahead without walking the whole 2.5km. The washrooms at the top of marihna beach we're nit working so we took the steps down to the beach area and used the one down there. Its a bit of a walk down. We never did the secret beach because the opening inside the cave was too tight but got a good picture at the front of the opening. It was fun. Fit to see some cats that live there. The municipality built them a shelter which is nice.

Exceptional Experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise! Large enough boat that we felt safe, and I could not believe how the captain maneuvered into the caves! It was too cold for swimming so we went for an added bonus of finding dolphins. Everyone really enjoyed the day. Take a jacket, it gets cool out there.

Fantastic experience!
Beautiful scenery! Very helpful & kind crew. It was great to have drinks available for purchase & a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Three hours was the perfect length of time for the trip to the Benagil cave. We chose this catamaran as it had a bathroom and comfortable seating. We would highly recommend this trip to all ages!

Amazing views and commentary
We went as a stag party and thoroughly enjoyed the trip, 1 person in our party of 9 was sick but that was his own fault.
We unfortunately didn't see dolphins but the experience and informative guide "Kat/Cat" made up for it.
I would recommend the tour and will definitely go again.

A great day in the eastern Algarve
A fantastic way to see the Eastern portion of the Algarve! The vehicle was comfortable with only 4 people. There was 1 stop to pickup another traveller outside of Albufeira which made the day a little longer. Our Guide/driver André was kind, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was only too happy to share. We had lots of time to explore the towns with tips about what to look for and how to maximize the experience.

This was definitely a...
This was definitely a highlight of our holiday to Albufeira! The boat went much faster than we were expecting and was great fun as we surfed the waves to seek out dolphins. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins. Our guide Miguel was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the coastline and caves, which were stunning. I had taken some travel sickness tablets beforehand but I did still feel a little queasy, more so when the boat stopped to look at the dolphins and caves, so would recommend if you’re liable to sea sickness!

Lovely boat trip
This was a very fun boat trip! The staff and crew were terrific. The scenery was fantastic and the lunch on the beach was delicious. The drinks were also flowing. We had a ton of fun. The only thing that was a bit of a negative was there were a lot of people so it took a long time to shuttle everyone to and from the boat to shore and back again. Plus there were no tables set up on the beach so we had to eat our lovely meal on our laps while sitting on the sand. It was slightly awkward. Otherwise it was wonderful!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
It may be hard to leave behind Albufeira’s beaches for a day, but if you do, you’ll be rewarded with a whole host of attractions and experiences. Head west to discover Silves and its Moorish castle, Monte Fóia (the highest point in the Algarve), and the cliffs of Sagres and Lagos, or journey east to Faro, Olhão, and Tavira. Albufeira day trips showcase how much more the region has to offer aside from its beautiful beaches, whether you want to explore sea caves by boat, the countryside by Jeep, take a pilgrimage to Fátima, or hop across the Spanish border to Seville.
