Absolutely brilliant experience

Published on Nov, 2024

It’s been a wonderful experience. The guides Miguel, Pedro and the third person were simply brilliant with their wit and humour too. We were lucky with beautiful weather and saw a lot of dolphins who swam with the ship for a long time ! The caves are incredible work of nature’s sculpturing ! Absolutely recommend this experience!

Xride is the best!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an awesome excursion today. The crew were efficient, organized , customer focused with safety and fun experience in the agenda. The boat was well kept, clean and reliable. We went along the coast from Albufiera to Silves area, and the crew gave good narration of the coastal sites, the cliffs, the caves. The boat was slowed down and turned around for guests to get good views and picture opportunities. Appropriate and funny songs and sounds were used to add to the fun, like playing the " We all live in the Yellow Submarine" as they pointed out the rock resembling a yellow submarine. We truly had a good view of the Bengali cave and all the beautiful caves and arches during this excursion. The boat went a little further away from the coast and we saw few pods of dolphins. Boat was slowed down and moved around for us to see the dolphins come up in groups through the water over and over, sometimes, closed to the boat. We were in awe, as we feast on the dolphin showings, and we had plenty of opportunities for pictures and videos. The 3 men crew made it all happen, they were awesome. The captain, I think his name is Pedro spoke to the different guests as he impressed us with his multi lingual ability to speak English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. He also taught some of us how to take pictures but he emphasized that best memories are not in the pictures we take but what we see and remember of the particular moment.

Pure Magic ❤️

Published on Nov, 2024

Highly recommend. 2.5hrs of pure magic. The crew were outstanding. Expecially Phillipe. He took really good care of us. He even sang Happy Birthday to me

Amazing trip

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing experience with I believe his name was Pedro and his team. We managed to have a quick swim and see the sights before going to the caves. We were then lucky enough to see the Dolphins which made my 8yr old lads day. They were extremely friendly, funny and helpful. They made the experience so much better and we would recommend or do the trip again.
