We had an amazing experience on this tour. The boat ride along the coastline was exhilarating- the kids loved the speed of the boat. We got in really close to many caves. There was an opportunity to stop and swim and try cliff jumping. The tour guide offered tips of what to see and where to go, as well as knowledge of the caves and coastline. Highly recommend if you like thrill seeking, but not for the elderly because of the design of the seats.

It was an amazing ride! To be honest, I had no idea it was going to be a speed boat so that scared me for second haha but overall it was a blast. We got great pictures and had a really fun time!

Captain Nick made the tour Fun and informative but not overwhelming with dialogue.
Golden hour was a perfect time to catch a bit of sunset and then see the lights come on the bridges.

We had an absolutely incredible time😍 I would highly recommend this to anyone. The guides were so good and knew so much. We learnt a lot and what a rush the boats name is definitely suited to it. Take a trip on the tornado it is exhilarating 😁

We sped out in a smaller boat (~20 people) to visit several beautiful caves for photo opportunities. Upon our return, we were able to see 4 dolphins. The staff was very nice and wanted to make sure we enjoyed the trip.

We got lucky on a perfectly flat calm day. Staff aboard was very friendly. They start at the last cave and work their way back.

Great boat ride, loved the many beautiful caves we got to see. There is quite a bit of boat traffic, so the cave stops are shorter, but you have plenty of time for photos and to hear some facts about the caves and coastline.
As other travelers mentioned, it can be cool in the speedy zodiac ride. Seafaris offers cloaks for the dolphin rides, but they will also lend you one for the Benegil tour if you ask.

Great tour! Caves were awesome. But wear a bathing suit because if the water is rough you will get soaked. Which, of course adds to the fun!

5 star experience! Dolphin seafaris is a fantastic company to book with. I had an unexpected issue occur, which caused me to need to reschedule my tour, but they were gracious enough to get us on the next boat the following day. I’m so glad they allowed us to reschedule, because the tour was amazing! Our captain Henry expertly navigated us safely and smoothly and our guide Eduardo gave great information, took great pictures of us, and did a wonderful job entertaining us. We saw a many interesting caves and even a dolphin! I can’t recommend this activity with Dolphin Seafaris enough!

The crew did wonderfull and took us on a gorgeous trip along the coast. The nature in the algarve is absolutely stunning, and a speedboat is a great way to see a lot of it in a short time. The trip itself was made exciting by the speed, and we even had the luck to spot a troup of dolphins that the captain skilfully navigated us close to. Can more than recommend.
Yelena_M, May 2024
An exiting memorable trip! Highly recommended. It will get windy so you need to have jacket or sweatshort.
Alissa_G, May 2024
Awesome 2 hour boat trip, you get to see multiple caves and travel along the coast. Definitely a must when visiting Lagos/the Algarve. I suggest bringing some warm clothes for the boat ride as it get chilly on the way to the caves and the way back.
kjkoffman, Apr 2024
We totally enjoyed the excursion to the Benagil Cave as well as the other caves along the way. The scenery along the Algarve Coast was just so beautiful and amazing. This excursion met our expectations in all areas. Thank you !
