Review of Albufeira’s Benagil Caves and dolphin speedboat tour, including stops, guides, swimming, value, sea conditions, and practical tips.

“I had a great morning on the sea caves and dolphins excursion, and I was lucky enough to see dolphins almost straight away! We had Ruben as our captain and Ana was our guide; and what an exceptional team they made. Ruben made sure to take us where the dolphins had been spotted and then kept a good distance as to not scare them. Ana was simply amazing, she spoke in both English and French and was incredibly knowledgable. I’d recommend this trip to everyone, even without the dolphins the views are stunning!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,008 reviews · from $38

Review of Albufeira’s dolphin and Benagil Cave cruise, with practical tips on boats, sea conditions, value, safety, and what to expect.

“This experience was amazing. We got to see a mother duck and her little ducklings, and seeing the cabes was just WOW. Learned alot about the caves and when we was just about to give up on dolphin spotting, we saw them. A big group of them. I love how careful the tour guides/captain were when approaching the dolphins. Every one else was just pushing in but the guide said something that stayed with me ‘ they are living, we are working’ and this sentence really shows how much they care to protect the dolphins but still care to give us this opportunity as safe for us and for them.…”
