Benagil caves and dolphin watching

5.00I had never done this tour before and it was absolutely amazing! Such a great experience. The skipper never gave up until we found the dolphins, and then he took the time to tell us more about them and explain everything along the way. We also visited Benagil Cave, and throughout the whole trip he was friendly, attentive and always willing to help. The explanations were excellent, and it’s a memory I’ll keep forever. Thank you, Nuno and Gonçalo🚤
