Magical

We went on boat trip at 2pm on Friday 2nd October 2026. We were told there may only be a 10% chance of seeing dolphins but they were everywhere such an amazing experience. The captain and the crew were all amazing but a massive shout out to Daniel he was absolutely amazing and made our trip more than special thankyou for making our experience one that we will never forget 5*

Would recommend!

I absolutely LOVED this experience — genuinely one of my favourite things I’ve ever done! Seeing the Algarve coastline and caves from the ocean was absolutely breathtaking. Experiencing it from the water gave us such a different perspective, and the scenery was incredible. We also had the chance to stop for a few minutes and swim, which was a lovely addition to the trip. The captain and tour guides were fantastic — really knowledgeable about the history and formation of the coastline and caves, but also absolutely hilarious! They were constantly cracking jokes and making everyone feel relaxed, which was especially appreciated as the Atlantic can get quite rough and choppy at times. There were also a few children on our trip who were understandably a little nervous, and the crew were brilliant at making them feel safe, comfortable and welcome. You could really tell they cared about everyone having a great experience. The boat was comfortable, and it was also handy having the option to buy drinks and snacks on board. Overall, this was one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. The scenery, the crew and the whole experience were incredible, and I would 100% recommend Allboat. I’d happily do it all over again!

Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful time on the boat trip. Our guides Gabriel and Daniel were fantastic and lots of fun. We were able to see dolphins and learnt lots of information about the local caves. We would highly recommend.
