What a phenomenal experience! - Pedro and his crew were fabulous! We had the best experience and was so appreciative of Pedro and his crew being diligent in finding dolphins for us to see. The Benagril cave tour and tour along the coast line to see other caves was phenomenal. One of the best experiences I've had on vacation! I will definitely refer others to your company!!!

Magic! - We had over hundreds of dolphins around us after jumping over the waves with the motorized dinghy at full speed for about an hour. Also the drive along the Benagil Caves was wonderful. A thousand thanks!

Highly recommended - Pedro and Ricardo were excellent guides - they took us out to see the dolphins and were very respectful of them, staying in the vicinity but not chasing after them. The caves were good and worth the trip on the their own (the dolphins were a welcome bonus) as was the tour of the coastline back to Vilamoura. A great way to see the Algarve coastline, learn about the history of tourism in the area and also escape from the heat of the day on a speedboat!!! We were 2 adults, 2 children (11 and 13)

Adventure! - We were four “young seven-tens” who decided to go on an unlikely adventure. All I can say is we loved it!!!! The high and exciting moment was when we observed dolphins in their natural habitat. On the return , the documented tour, along the coast, with a visit to the various caves, was the “ cherry on top of the cake”. I highly recommend this fantastic experience accompanied by friendly professionals and always available to help. All right!!!

Great trip with excellent tour guides! - Tour guides were great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Tour is as advertised. Small boat is excellent for getting in and near the smaller caves and tighter coastal areas. Would recommend for a perfect half-day trip to everyone!

Worth The Money, Would Definitely Recommend - The trip was brilliant. The crew were great, very knowledgable & friendly. The caves we visited were amazing as were the dolphins we saw in the wild. The crew took us off course to find the dolphins & we spent extra time watching. Definitely a good booking for a family.
