Sea trip from Albufeira with Oceaneye - We spent over two hours at sea, seeing dolphins from the boat, and visiting the Benagil Cave and the coast. Superb time spent in the company of Diogo (our guide who speaks French very well), and Justo (our excellent pilot). We highly recommend.

Idyllic landscapes with local and friendly staff. - Superb moment. The guide was friendly, the navigator calm and delicate in his navigation. We had the chance to see dolphins from the start of the crossing, we had information on the different caves and names of the coast and magnificent photos. And for a little extra you can have a more professional photo of your getaway with your loved ones. Superb company, nothing to complain about.

To do - Awesome and beautiful!! To do more than 2 hours of visit with explanations, we saw the dolphins, we were able to capture beautiful moments with dolphins in their natural environment. The caves are splendid. To do without exiting. Special mention to our guides Diego and Justo who were great.

Delighted with this excursion - We took part in an organized excursion and were delighted by the experience. Our guide was exceptional, he was clear, precise, funny and patient, which greatly contributed to making our day memorable. We were a group of French people and he was able to adapt to our needs with ease. Additionally, we had the incredible chance to spot dolphins at sunset, which added a magical touch to our day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an unforgettable experience!

Magical moment to share with family - We had a great time as a family (2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 10). The crew was very attentive (we were able to board first) and the speed was controlled to avoid water and my son being afraid. They made the effort to speak in French and English. We saw the dolphins (magical moment) and the caves are incredible. I really recommend the walk.

Interesting experience - Coast is beautiful, we saw lot of great cliffs and caves and ocean has so nice colours. We did saw dolphins, but they were far away from the boat. To make good pictures, it was needed to have big zoom on the camera. The boat is fast. I normally have problems with sea sick, but here I didn't. On this boat there is no going up and going down feeling in the stomach, feeling is more like you are in a car on an unpaved road. As boat is very fast it was very windy, and it is great that I read before the trip recommendation to bring jackets. Before stepping on the boat we were in short sleeve t-shirts, putting on a sun protection creme. We really needed jackets on the boat, all of us, although it was sunny and 23 degrees Celsius. Generally it was a very interesting experience. All 4 of us enjoyed.
