Great tour, we saw many dolphins, Benagil cave and beautiful Algarve coastline. Crew provided interesting commentary and offered to take pictures. The seats on the boat were comfortable.

We travelled with 11 people, we saw dolphins and weather was lovely. Having a washroom on board was great for the little ones in our group. Everything was clean. Ride out to the caves can be very bumpy if the waves are tough.

    Waves or caves?

    Rudene_H, Aug 2026
    This tour spends a lot of time out on the ocean, which if you’re like me, you’ll love. Beautiful views of the coast w/ the added dolphin spotting bonus. As far as the caves go, it’s a quick tip of the boat entry and that’s it. If you want to see more of the caves, do the kayak tour or one on a smaller boat that goes into the caves.

    Fun outing!

    Liana_W, Aug 2026
    It was a great time! I had read reviews that someone hadn’t seen dolphins (can happen) and was a little nervous as my daughter was really looking forward to it but we lucked out and saw a family of 3 right up close. Was incredible! The caves were very cool to witness as well! FYI the front of the boat can really bounce when hitting some waves - was enjoyed by myself and my thrill seeking daughter. My young son didn’t, he was a little scared but rode back in the seating area and enjoyed the ride. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. Would recommend!!

    Fantastic experience from start to finish! The staff were lovely and shared lots of interesting information about the dolphins and the surrounding area, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see loads of dolphins, and it was great to see the boat operators keeping a respectful distance and giving them plenty of space so they weren’t disturbed. 🐬💙 The Benagil Caves were beautiful too, and the whole experience was definitely well worth it. Highly recommended! 🌊

    Wonderful experience

    Sourav_B, May 2026
    A fun filled experience overall. Watched 50 dolphins following the waves created by our boat. The Benagil cave and other caves like eyes of God we're like from dome other world.
