Highly recommended, the staff is very committed to the animals. The tour took half an hour longer than indicated because the dolphins did not want to leave the boat. They were afraid of damaging a dolphin. In addition, a very nice tour along the coast with its caves that you sail into.

This was an unforgettable experience! Our guides were very informative and located the dolphins about 45 minutes into searching. I thought the dolphins would stay a good distance from the boat, but they were very curious and came much closer than I expected. Then the trip ended with a beautiful cruise around the Benagil caves, and our guides were able to share their knowledge of their surroundings. I can’t recommend this enough, I will definitely do this tour again next year.

Angela was super welcoming and very available, she knew how to take care of everyone while passionately sharing her job as a morning biologist. the children loved seeing dolphins in the open ocean and personally I really appreciated listening to him when I was "seasick". I recommend 200%
