Traveler reviews
Fantastic experience! I...
Fantastic experience! I recommend it fully. Great itinerary and atmosphere during the whole trip. True adventure
Great trip out
We had a fantastic trip out on the catamaran. The boat was lovely and clean, with an excellent crew, who were all very friendly and professional. The first part of the trip was a search, to see if we could spot any dolphins. We were lucky enough to find quite a large pod of dolphins, and they were beautiful to see. We then cruised over to the cave, and after a short wait in the queue of boats, we managed to get some great pictures from inside. The boat then followed the coast back towards the docks, stopping at various places, where our great guide, Bruno, pointed out various points of interest. There was finally a short stop for anyone wishing to take a swin off the boat, before finally heading back to the marina. The boat itself is well equipped and has a bar, should you with to have a drink. We were blessed with great weather conditions, and very calm seas. Both of these can affect the chances of dolphin spotting, and entrance to the cave, so it's worth looking at forecasts for the day you are looking to book. They also recommend you book the morning trips. Overall, in our opinion, this was a great little trip out, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Amazing !!
It was a great adventure. It was me and my friends first time here in Portugal and this trip was the best thing on the whole trip. The tour guides were very friendly and were passionate for us to see the dolphins. We also got to see many caves and drove into one. And lastly they made a stop where everyone could jump in the water and swim if we wanted to. Overall we had a great time!!
A Must Do
Highlight of my week in Portugal. 2 ½ hour round trip straight out to sea to the wonderful dolphins followed by the caves and rock formations along the coast. Boat then stops for those who wish to swim in the sea. The guides are multilingual and inject a real sense of fun. I would recommend!
Brilliant tour
We managed to get really close to the dolphins however the caves were closed due to weather conditions which could not be helped. Our tour guide Gabriel was very entertaining throughout. We got to go into the sea for a swim aswell.
