Pretty good morning trip out on a small speedboat. The scenery was good but we didn’t see any wildlife. They had jackets so we didn’t get too cold when it started to rain which was a big plus. It would be a more enjoyable trip in the summer or when the dolphins bother to turn up. Was a fair price for the two hours we were out on the choppy sea.
what a fun day trip. no dolphins today but the cave tour was really the star of the show. our boat was only 8 people and was perfect size.
Overall, a great experience, better than expected! However, the Benagil Sea Cave wasn't as breathtaking as I imagined, and unfortunately, I didn't spot any dolphins due to my poor eyesight!
This is a great tour to look at the caves and dolphins. Our guides David and Kat were great and ensures that we saw great caves and dolphins as well. highly recommended to everyone..!!
I was very satisfied. I was lucky enough to see dolphins right away without waiting, and I was able to observe a pod of dolphins swimming nearby for quite a long time. I could see amazing scenery, including coastal cliffs and sea caves.
Although the start time was a bit delayed, it was cool and fun. It was also great to see dolphins.
This tour was artistic, with nature showcasing its beauty, including dolphin watching and a visit to Benagil. It felt like I was running directly on the sea, making it even more realistic and enjoyable.
The boat trip itself was great. Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins (but the organizer can't be blamed for that). However, about halfway through, it started to rain heavily (not predicted). The rain combined with the strong headwind meant we came back completely soaked and frozen, and we weren't feeling well. At this point, I would have appreciated the option to warm up (hair dryer / coffee / indoor area). That wasn't available, so we were wet for hours in strong wind.
please avoid. i booked, made the commute and showed up at the meeting point. i found up from the counter staff that the tour was cancelled. there was no information sent prior to update that the tour was cancelled. i am still waiting for my refund.
