Our children couldn’t have been more thrilled - We booked a 3-hr jet boat tour to see dolphins and explore the coastal caves for 13 family members across 3 generations, with 5 children (including a 2yo). Our guides were Lorenzo & Marcello and if we hadn’t already got lucky being paired with them, the 20 minutes we had to ourselves with a pod of common dolphins made our week. Our kids squealed as the dolphins played and swum under the boat, close enough to give everyone a really good look. Even though we had to go a long way offshore, the boat was fast enough to ensure we still had time to explore many of the incredibly caves. The boat was small enough to go through many of the caves and natural tunnels, inaccessible to bigger boats. L&M were full of stories about smugglers and the provenance of the names given to the various spots we explored. The highlight of the trip, for our younger boys at least, was the chance to drive the boat. Core memories logged.

Fabulous time - My husband and I booked to do the Dolphin and caves. Wasn’t sure what to expect but we had the best time. The captain and co-captain were very knowledgeable and explained everything and explained about why the Dolphins visit these parts of the waters. Then they explained about the different caves and meanings. We very much enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting this part of Portugal. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Speedboat ride to caves and dolphins in Portimão - Excellent speedboat guides. Discovery of numerous sites near the caves. An exceptional landscape and the magic of rocky settings. The dolphins were not there that day but some people we spoke with later saw them up close! However, we enjoyed the 2 hour walk and always received a warm welcome like the weather for this season.
