Review of Albufeira’s Benagil Caves and dolphin speedboat tour, with practical advice on price, sea conditions, swimming, guides, and what to expect.

“guide was LOVELY! she had the best personality and made it engaging. we didnt get to see any dolphins unfortunately but nevertheless a worthwhile trip for the sights! she gave us the option for a short swim, our crew didn’t want to so we had more time looking for dolphins/tour. they also took pics with a camera and we purchased for €10.”

Top tip: go out on the first tour at 8:45am and you will be the only ones out there. As we were coming back it was packed with boats, kayakers, tourists etc which would have spoilt the whole feel. Would totally recommend this very professional company and guides.”
