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.

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful day today and our tour guides were really friendly, helpful and informative. Seeing the dolphins up close in their own habitat was an amazing experience, as was the visit to the Benagil cave and the other caves along the spectacular coastline of the Algarve. We Highly recommend this trip to anyone!
If you’re looking for an ethical experience with the added benefits of biology and a smaller tourism experience then this is perfect. Boat was perfect and the tour operator. Saw dolphins, beautiful coastline and the caves and beaches. Highly recommended! Thank you from Canada!

I liked that the tour took place in a small group, it was very personal and the team was professional. Highly recommend.
The tourguide Daniele was smart, funloving and friendly. She had some fun facts and we succeeded to see dolphins! On the boat the crue didn’t offer water, but we had snack - biscuits and grapes. I highly reccomend this tour!
Not only did we get to see the beautiful Benagil caves, Pedro stayed out in the ocean far longer than any other boats around, we saw loads of dolphins, baby ones included, a fantastic tour, would highly recommend and will definitely do again, sea swim was also lovely little extra ❤️

Thank you :) and hope to see you again!
Fantastic boat trip, great skipper and friendly staff. We saw a family of dolphins. I would have liked to have stayed longer with the dolphins or looked for others but for those that haven’t already seem them, the rest of the trip was a great tour of the caves and some time to jump in and swim.
It is very much worth it. Do it. It is only 3 hours and a very beautiful experience. The best part was seeing how social the dolphins are

It was great. There was plenty of time to watch the dolphins. The trip to the caves was also a very great experience.

Excursion exceptionnelle avec l'observation du jeu des dauphins autour du bateau. Captain Nemo et la biologiste qui accompagne l'excursion, expliquent avec patience les habitudes des dauphins et font découvrir les différents oiseaux observés (les fous de Bassan et les sternes). Le petit chien du capitaine détectait les dauphins par leur échange d'ultrasons!!
L'excursion s'est poursuivie par la visite des fantastiques grottes et algarves de Benagil.
Le capitaine Nemo et sa biologiste sont plein de gentillesse et aux petits soins pour leurs passagers (petits gâteaux, boissons...)
Excursion à recommander absolument
Wat een fantastische trip: langs de mooie rotsachtige kust, in diverse donkere grotten en de mooie (maar erg toeristische) Benagil grot. Daarna op zoek naar dolfijnen en wat was dat prachtig! Wel 20 tuimelaars zwommen en speelden langs de boot, volwassenen met babies en pubers die vooral het hondje van de schipper erg interessant vonden. In een woord geweldig!
De gids Daniella was enthousiast en heeft een gezonde dosis humor en de kapitein is uiterst vriendelijk en heeft groot respect voor de dolfijnen. Echt een aanrader!

ontzettend bedankt :)
Super moment inoubliable passé avec capitaine Nemo. Tout y était génial, que ce soit les paysages avec un mélange de détente et de culture, la tendresse des dauphins qui suivaient le bateau, le fun du pilote ainsi que ses petites attentions, et l'humour de Daniella qui parle très bien le français. Pour tout ça, MERCI
Réservation passée via le site le viator à 45€/pers.

Merci beaucoup :)
Lieve mensen en mooie boottocht! Zeker een aanrader! Veel dolfijnen gezien! We hebben ook gezwommen in het oceaan
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Bedankt :)
Juste incroyable! Sûrement une des meilleures activités à faire dans les alentours! Le personnel sur le bateau était exceptionnel, communication avec tout le monde en plusieurs langues en français en portugais en anglais! Très accueillants, ils nous on servis du melons et ils avaient des bouteilles d’eau à disposition! Sincèrement rien à redire, on a pu voir des dauphins pendant un moment, un arrêt pour une baignade pour ceux qui souhaitent, des visites des grottes et beaucoup de bonne humeur!
