Excellent trip

Published on Nov, 2024

It was an excellent trip. The guide Bernardo and captain Pedro were very good and explained everything very well. We managed to see lots of Dolphins too. We thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Excellent trip with beautiful sights and charming staff Highly recommend .. the boat is very clean and comfortable and in our case the sea was choppy but it brought so much fun Thank you very much :)

Great experience for our family!

Published on Oct, 2024

Overall, this was a great trip that’s a must do. We didn’t get a chance to see a lot of dolphins but the Benagil cave and the coastline was amazing! We took our 4-year with us and it was bumpy on the open sea but she still loved it.

A fun and informative boat trip

Published on Oct, 2024

The boat ride was a lot of fun. The boat was very comfortable with enough room to see everything. The captain did an excellent job maneuvering the boat into the caves so everyone could get a chance for clear photos while operating very safely. He was able to find a pod of dolphins that came right next to the boat. The first mate/guide gave a good commentary on the rock formations, coastal villages, and restaurants. We would go again.

Great to see Dolphins so close!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a great time. Pedro and Chico took us out to sea and found a pod of dolphins! We were up close - it was an amazing experience. Then we headed back to explore the caves. The speed boat was able to get right into the caves.
