great family experience
Great clifss, coast and caves..the animators were great to recognise the type of birds, explain how the cliffs were formed...we were lucky as we managed to see a group of about 20 dolphins and a tortle. The staff provided rain jackets (to cut the wind on the boat) and were very helpful with the 2 kids that were unfortunately sea sick.

Flippers didn't disappoint
The idea to create a boat tour for watching a colony of dolphins in Atlantic Ocean, it was a brilliant idea. I took the tour because everyone young or old love the dolphins. And I lovend it. The boat was a light, safe boat. The tour guide was knowledgeable about what we are going to watch. It was a sunny day, clear sky, a perfect day to enjoy watching Flipper and his brothers, sisters,cousins playing. And we're lucky to watch a big colony of dolphins swimming along the boat, under the boat,flipping, twisting, giving us a free ,unforgettable show. All of us took lots of pictures. Unfortunately we had to go back to the marina, but I can say to everybody: take this tour and you will never regret being on the boat for 1 hour and half.

I am very picky about what company’s I pick when it comes to animal activities. But this company seemed like the right one, and that was absolutely true. The biologists were very kind, professional and fun. They could tell us alot about the different species that live in the water, and it was amazing to have someone on board that knew alot about orcas. When we found an pod of dolphins they kept an respectable distance and gave the animals the choice to themselves to approach us. They didnt but I did not mind at all. We stayed with the pod for the 30 minutes that was allowed. Awesome to see these amazing animals in the wild!
For the boat. It was comfortable and even when there were big waves I felt really safe. The employee steering reacted so quikly to unexpected waves.
Loved it :) thank you
If you want to do a sightseeing tour while respecting the wildlife, go for this one!

Amazing experience!
Amazing!!!! Pedro, Ana, and Popcorn (Ana’s sweet little puppy) showed us minke whales and bottle nosed dolphins. Their enthusiasm, knowledge, and patience made this experience the highlight of our entire vacation. I would highly recommend them and if I ever return to the Algarve, I will definitely book a tour with them again.

Great experience - not to be missed -- good value -- time well spent
Did not disappoint -- we explored more caves than we expected -- good close exposure to interior of caves - great opportunities for photos. One observation - sitting on right side of the boat provided better opportunities for photographs of the shoreline on return trip to the marina. Company/staff focus on safety was noted and appreciated.

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!

Excellent experience!
Amazing dolphin experience! The guide was informative about what we would see and helped us locate the dolphins once we got to where we spotted them. I was a litte skeptical on if we would see any dolphins but we saw a lot! The ride out into the ocean was thrilling and fun too! This was so worth it!

Captain Steve and Carol boat trip
My family and I boarded the boat with captain Steve and Carol and what an incredible afternoon we had. They gave us a personalized history about the town of Lagos and took us to a gorgeous area around the sand cliffs where we could paddle in and around the caves, swim and snorkel. We loved the nibbles and our weather was sunny..so much fun!!! This trip was a little pricey but well worth it if you want a vibrant speed boat tour to yourselves! 🥰5 Stars!

Great trip
Highly reccomend, great trip. We were lucky with the weather as was nice & calm (keep an eye on the wind forecast)
Little bit tricky to find the meeting point (couldnt see a crane or pear as in directions?) Maybe add these 3 words to the meeting point

It’s a great experience....
It’s a great experience. The caves are marvelous and the boat is very comfortable which makes the ride enjoyable. Both Rubene & Mary are amazing. They not only seemed knowledgeable about the tour but also gave us a lot of other recommendations around the Algarve area.
