Very nice experience, saw...

Very nice experience, saw many caves on this small but very fast boat, also saw lots of dolfins. Better than expected.

Highlight of our trip!

This was a highlight to our trip to Portugal. We did the catamaran option and saw breathtaking views (and dolphins!), go swimming in the ocean, and enter Benagil Cave! Bruno, Thomas, and Captain Julio were so great. They were funny and very informative. You must do this tour if you are visiting the Algarve!

Highlight of our holiday

Outstanding trip with excellent crew - Ozzy and Marti. Could not recommend enough. Great tour of the coastline and amazing dolphin spotting. Skilful crew, exhilarating ride and great local knowledge accompanied by a great soundtrack. Really good fun all round.

Amazing trip!!

Highly recommend this boat trip. We went on the larger boat. It was comfortable and an exhilarating ride across the sea. The guys on board were informative, with humour. Facilities on board and a short swim stop. The caves were beautiful and the boat got close to them for some beautiful pictures.

Enjoyable

Enjoyable cruise. The guides were very knowledgeable. Unfortunately we didn’t see dolphins. One tip would be to bring a warm layer as it gets cold when the boat is speeding

Must do!

This was a great excursion! Guess to all the caves and gave us a lot of information about them. We also were able to see the dolphins up close. They swam right by our boat. This was the perfect amount of time for everything. The rub boat was fast so we could see so many things during the 2.5 hours. The captains were great and very personable!

Prepare to be amazed. Rib boat caves and dolphin search an amazing experience!

This was a brilliant experience. We enjoyed our guide's sense of humour. We liked the sensitivity with which our rib boat driver drove when around the dolphins. It was an amazing experience at the caves - lovely to go through a natural arch. Lots of bits of information and some great fun driving across the sea. Expect to get wet if you are on one of the outside or front seats! We all loved it. We chose not to jump into the freezing cold water for the 5 minute swim stop but there was the opportunity! We had a 15 year old and 11 year old with us. We all loved it.

Great tour

Very well organised. Both guides were very informative and entertaining. We were out on the speed boat for approx 2.5hours. The coastline is stunning. There was also a chance to swim in the Atlantic. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins.
