Excellent tour - worth the money!

Published on Dec, 2024

Good tour if you want to see the shore line, caves and dolphins. Marine biologist on board was very knowledgeable and gave commentary in multiple languages. Due to bad weather, our trip got cancelled and rescheduled for another day but it was really a smooth experience end to end.

Great views and knowledgable tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Guide was very knowledgeable about the caves and the dolphins. He also made an effort to make sure everyone was feeling okay and of good spirits. We saw lots of gorgeous dolphins and had such a lovely tour!

Dolphins, dolphins, dolphins

Published on Dec, 2024

One of the highlights of our trip. Great excursion out to see dolphins followed by the caves. We saw so many dolphins as they swam around the boat jumping out of the water. The caves were magnificent full of color. We went in the afternoon for the sunset cruise and it did not disappoint. Perfect end to a wonderful day.

The trip was so good ....

Published on Dec, 2024

The trip was so good . The marine biologist on board was so helpful . He was asking us all through out the trip if we are felling comfortable. We have seen the dolphins so early in our trip and they also had explained about the algarve coast .

Excellent. You MUST do this trip. Worth every penny.

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely amazing experience. The biologist was a top man and learnt a lot from him including portugal with 10 million people is the top consumer of cod in the world and also they have 500 ways of cooking cod! Also discussed how they celebrate xmas. Really appreciated his warmth. Really genuine man who has such a passion for his job. We saw dolphins and the caves were breath taking.
