This was very the high light of my trip in Portugal! The crew was amazing and the atmosphere brought out intense emotions. We had the chance to see the daulphins for long, the explanations et visits of the caves was amazing. Jumping in the ocean off the boat was also a crazy first time experience for me. The duration of the trip was perfect. So worth the money!!!

Excellent day. Comfortable boat, no obligatory life jackets like all the smaller boats we saw, still able to get inside the (very crowded) Benagil cave. The coastal cave tour was amazing as were the dolphins and dolphin chasing. Great day, great tour company and guide. Bring cash so you can tip and purchase beverages on board if needed.

We had lots of time to see the dolphins (in fact, we stopped longer than we should have done, which meant we didn’t get much time to swim, but that’s okay - how often do you get to see wild dolphins in huge pods?!) and seeing the caves both up close and far away was very enjoyable - the caves are amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we were very impressed with the way she switched between English, French and Portuguese so easily. She checked on us often. The boat itself was fine - you expect these kind of tours to be busy and fully booked. But if you have to sit at the front, try and sit on the left as the right was a bit awkward, having to turn around a lot, etc. There is also very little shade on the boat so take sunscreen and a hat (that you can tie tightly to your head!) Overall, a great trip. The description for the activity is exactly as stated. Thanks for a nice afternoon!
