“3 hours well spent. We went with a catamaran along the coastline to the Benagil Cave. Afterwards we had some time to swim in the ocean and went back. Really recommended to pay an extra fee of 10€ for the top deck (possible to lay down there) and you have a panoramic view instead of a one-sided view.”
2-hour boat trip from Albufeira to Benagil Sea Caves and dolphin watching, with a small semi-rigid boat and close-in cave access.
“This was a great tour. Good sized boat that could go in the caves, fun music, and friendly guide. My kids loved jumping off the boat into the water to cool off mid-trip (optional) but the dolphins were the real highlight! While there is no guarantee to see them we got lucky and saw many and they were so beautiful I teared up. When we got back to the dock everyone clapped and cheered as we all had a great time. Highly recommended!”

“We enjoyed the tour to the cliffs and caves. Because my wife has mobility and back issues the crew ensured that she was seated in the back where the wave impacts were more tolerable for her. They were very considerate. We didn’t see any wales or dolphins on this trip but the caves were spectacular. They actually steered the boat into two of the caves. A word of caution. The Atlantic Ocean is very cold at this time of year so bringing warm clothing makes the trip more enjoyable.”
