What are people saying about Albufeira

Eamonn_W, Jun 2026

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.

Benagil Area Kayak

Andrew_W, Jun 2026

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.

Dolphins Search and Benagil Caves from Albufeira

DAVE_B, May 2026

Flipping Gucci Experience

What an experience! From start to finish, this Algarve boat trip was absolutely brilliant. The highlight was definitely seeing the dolphins in the wild — such an unforgettable moment and something I’ll remember forever. Watching them swim so close to the boat was incredible. The coastline itself was stunning too. The beaches, dramatic cliffs and huge caves were even more impressive in real life. Entering the large sea caves by boat was visually breathtaking and made the whole trip feel like a proper adventure. The crew were excellent throughout — professional, polite, informative and great fun. They really helped create a relaxed atmosphere on board. It was also my birthday, and they got the whole boat singing Happy Birthday, which made the day even more memorable. Top recommendation for future travellers: avoid sitting next to the “Pink Ladies” hen party if possible… unless you enjoy beer-swilling chaos and surprise puking incidents 🤣 All in all, an amazing experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting the Algarve.

Albufeira: Benagil, Algar Seco, Marinha & 7 Hanging Valleys Tour

SUSANA_W, May 2026

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.

Catamaran Cruise: Caves and Coastline to Benagil

deborah_l, May 2026

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!

Great day in the western Algarve

The tour was comfortable and Benny, our guide, knew a lot of history about the Algarve. We liked the itinerary, wished we’d had just a little more time in Lagos to look around, just have enough time for lunch. We’d recommend this tour to get a good look and background for the western Algarve.

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 very good trip down the coastline from albufeira to the caves passed many lovely beaches one of which we visited the very next day. Very good staff and an excellent captain of the boat who made sure we went all the way into the cave to see the fantastic view inside even though we were on a much bigger boat than the other boats there at the same time as us. Thank you all very much for a fantastic trip and on meeting my sons double lol xxx

Excellent tour to see caves and dolphins.

This a must-do if you are in algarve. It is an excellent way of seeing the caves. Our guide. Raphael, is the best, He has a good sense of humor, very helpful, and has lots of good information. We saw dolphins in addition to touring the spectacular coastline. Our captain. Diego, is excellent, made the ride a bit more thrilling. Highly recommend Seacret for this tour.
