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!
Amazing trip yesterday morning on the RIB. Fantastic scenery and seeing the dolphins was truly amazing. Customer service was first class, the team were informative, knowledgeable and looked after us so well. They provided water and snacks, checked everyone was ok and explained everything that was going on, they even provided underwater videos of the dolphins for free. Highly recommended, thank you for an awesome trip!
Excellent experience! The boat ride to the caves was simply amazing, with stunning landscapes and very interesting explanations from the team. The most special moment was undoubtedly the sighting of dolphins in their natural habitat — exciting and unforgettable. The crew was extremely friendly, professional and attentive, always ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone. I highly recommend this tour to those who visit the region. A unique experience that I would repeat without hesitation!
The Dolphins & Benagil Caves experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The hosts were amazing — so friendly, warm, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The knowledge they shared throughout the trip was fascinating and made the whole experience even more special. The trip itself was out of this world. I was honestly lost for words and completely blown away by the beauty and atmosphere. The hosts also found out it was my birthday, and they went above and beyond to make it special by singing and celebrating with me. I was truly touched by the love and kindness they showed. An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend!
The whole family loved this experience! Thank you Anna and Pedro!
Fantastic experience! When other boats turned and drove back, we continued and found many dolphins! Excellent 🙏
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.
Nice trip! Got to see lots of dolphins, even right next to the boat. We didn't go into the caves since it was risk for rockfall. Kind crew. Can recommend.
Absolutely amazing experience with Pedro and Anna! Passionate and very kind professionals. Pedro didn’t give up: he spent more than an hour and a half searching for dolphins until he found a large group, very close to our boat — a magical and unforgettable moment 🐬💙 Then we discovered all the caves of Benagil, with clear explanations, interesting and full of historical details. Mood was relaxed, kind and very friendly. 👉 I highly recommend this excursion: perfect organization, beautiful landscapes and team at the top! Thanks again to Pedro and Anna for this exceptional experience ❤️
Merci Beaucoup Une plaisir de vous connaître ☺️
What a tour!!!! I have travelled extensively around the world and this has to be the best run trip ever. Our tour master exceeded all expectations to ensure that everyone got the most from the day. Nothing was too much trouble and the knowledge that he had of all aspects of the marine and coastal geology were tremendous.
