Not disappointed ... at all!! - The whole tour was so well organised, from start to finish. We did book via our tour rep (Jet2), which made it very easy. The ticket collection was very easy to find as well, we simply ordered an Uber, and it pretty much dropped us off at the ticket office. Easy to board boat and felt safe from a H&S perspective. Boat was very cool ... quite fast. Whoop!! The biggy ... we (eventually) found a pod of around 100 Common Dolphins. Wow! The fact there was a Marine Biologist on board made it all the better. After that, a cruise along the cliff caves, starting at Benegil. Awesome. Highly recommended!

Unique experience - As a family it was an amazing and memorable experience because we had the opportunity to see the dolphins in the wild. The staff were amazing, starting with the lady from where we bought the tickets and finishing with all the crew from the boat; top marks!

Amazing - Thank you to the entire @5emotions team🙏 I highly recommend this experience only. I felt a lot of emotion when viewing the my boys in their natural habitat 🐬 It was a trip full of information and good mood. The marine biologist, in addition to speaking four different languages, is also a super friendly person and full of good energy. ☀️ We ended the tour with a little adrenaline. I'll be back soon 🤞🍀

Great value, great experience - Excellent trip and great value. Seeing the dolphins was an unexpected bonus. Very minor comment, the wine served at the end of the trip was poor - disappointing as e are soma y excellent wines in the Algarve.

Amazing experience - I’m so glad me and my husband booked this sunset boat trip. We went in all the different caves, got to see dolphins close up to the boat which was AMAZING! and enjoyed a glass of wine on our way back watching the sun set! The staff are so friendly, the marine biologist on board is great. I would suggest bringing a jacket or blanket because it can get a bit chilly towards the end of the trip, but they do give out thin waterproof jackets on the boat if you don’t have one. If you are thinking about whether to book this trip or not go ahead and book it! My favourite day in the Algarve.

Highlight of our trip - Such a special & memorable experience, the highlight of our trip! Felt quite emotional when we found the dolphins, and the cliffs & caves were beautiful. The boat felt clean, comfy & safe. You might get a little cold and wet but they offer you waterproof jackets if wanted. The music was a nice touch too. Very highly recommend!

Perfect 3 in 1 tour - The experience was really great. It combined everything we were looking for - dolphins, caves and sunset. The team on the boat was super nice and spoke 4 languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, French). Atmospheric music played during the trip. The tour guide was competent and was able to answer our questions about the dolphins. The cave tour was probably a bit shorter than other tours, but there have to be compromises on a 3 in 1 tour. At the end there was blue wine for the sunset :) If you're still a bit cold, the team also offers jackets. All in all, the tour was very well thought out and highly recommended :)

Could have been more comfortable - The windy and rainy conditions made the trip slightly uncomfortable. If we would have known it to be such a bumpy ride, we would have canceled the trip and definitely gone on another day. We got to see some dolphins which was of course nice, but no sunset in sight due to the weather. Hopefully, the crew reconsiders to cancel next time if the weather is like this since I don’t see it giving full value to what the description of this trip promises. On a sunny, less windy day, I day I see this trip being amazing. Thanks to the crew and good energy which was appreciated.
