The crew were very nice and welcoming. The catamaran was comfortable even when we were speeding in the ocean and hitting the waves. Okay, it was not a smooth ride by any means because of ocean waves but we were not leaving with sore behinds. The caves were a very quick stop and were nice but not mind blowing. We saw no dolphins this day. Dolphins are wild animals and seeing them is not assured. The ocean trip looking for dolphins was rarely boring. Nothing to see but ocean and far off shore. Altogether, not a highlight of our Portugal tour thus far. Ponte de Piedada was a nicer tour, in our opinion.

The boat driver was great but there was no information about what we were seeing. I could not hear the girl when she did speak. We did see dolphins but it was truly just a boat ride. Not worth the $

Great crew. Very informative. The ride was smooth and no issue for my husband prone to motion sickness. Saw lots of dolphins who were putting on a bit of a show. Caves and cliffs are a must see. We were glad we chose this boat over some of the smaller ones. Got just as close but enjoyed the stability of a larger boat.

Seems shorter than it is because of all the great spots to take pictures and to admire. The boat stops to give people time to swim, the water was cool but refreshing.
