5.00For the value (cost vs. experience), it is probably the best tour I've ever taken. The marine biologist we had (Sofia), is well-educated, intelligent, enthusiastic, and she interacted with the entire group and gave the tour in 3 languages. She has a wonderful smile, and one can tell that she really likes her profession. Since dolphins are wild animals, sightings can't be guaranteed, but the operator knows where to look. We twice saw a group of about 20 playful dolphins and probably spent about 45 minutes with them. Sophia explained the behaviors we observed. We took a tour down the coast and saw many natural cave formations. There was a short stop for people to swim if they desired. The operator will seat you as you arrive. You can view everything from either side of the boat. However, if you are into photography, the left-hand side or the very front of the boat works better for shore photos because the trip is one-way on the coast then a return through open water. Meet the operator at a small booth beside other operators' booth near the beach. It is right by the fort and the shopping complex. There are restrooms in the complex. We walked from the cruise terminal. The terminal has free wifi so you can get directions on your phone. Basically, hang left until you get to where the docks are, then take a right, follow the docks, pass the fort, and you will see the booths. The walk is not shaded so it will get hot in the summer.
I highly recommend this tour!

5.00This Benagil Cave and dolphin tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. We were lucky enough to see plenty of dolphins during the tour—there were at least 30 dolphins swimming and playing in the area, which made the experience unforgettable. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours, and the time flew by because there was always something exciting to see. The Benagil Cave and coastline were absolutely beautiful, and getting to experience them from the water was incredible. A special shoutout to our host, who did an amazing job throughout the tour. She spoke in four different languages to make sure everyone on board could understand and enjoy the information being shared, which was very impressive and made the experience feel welcoming for everyone. Overall, it was a well-organized, fun, and memorable tour. If you’re visiting the Algarve, I highly recommend this experience. Seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat and exploring the caves was something I’ll never forget. Would definitely do this tour again!

5.00My husband and I recently enjoyed the boat tour from Portimão. It was fabulous. The crew were very knowledgeable and made the boat trip a lot of fun. We saw a large pod of dolphins. The marine biologist explained about these dolphins and other marine life. Then we headed for the Algarve coast and explored a bunch of caves. It was a beautiful day and the water was pretty calm. It was amazing to see the view of the coast from the water.
Brilliant boat trip

4.00We had a fantastic tour! The boat experience was amazing, seeing the dolphins was absolutely breathtaking, and the caves were a really fun addition. My only issue was the seating arrangement on the boat. As a solo parent with three children, we were split up, which didn’t feel necessary. There was space on a longer bench where we could have sat together, but instead my 12-year-old had to sit separately next to strangers, which made her very uncomfortable as she’s quite socially anxious. It was especially frustrating as another group of five adults were seated together 👎🏼 it would have made much more sense to keep a parent and children together. That said, it was still a memorable experience overall, and with a bit more thought around seating, it would have been absolutely perfect. Highly recommend though. Tip- Take a drink and jacket/blanket
Magnificent excursion on the Algarve coast to meet the dolphins.
