Review of Albufeira’s dolphin and Benagil cave cruise, with boat comfort, dolphin sightings, pricing, safety, timing, and booking advice.

“Exciting boat ride to view the caves...hard to believe how close we got inside the caves...a very memorable experience. The ride out was bumpy, not ideal for folks that are afraid of the water. On the way back, we did get to see a pod of dolphins feeding. That was an amazing plus on an overall great experience.”

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!”
