5.00We had the tour at 5 p.m. It was really an experience. The crew made the greatest effort and took into account children/families and sensitivities when allocating space. Throughout the journey, they inquired about welfare and there were repeated explanations. Unfortunately, we could not discover any dolphins - but even there the team and the captain were very anxious. The atmosphere on board was really good from start to finish. I would book this tour with this provider immediately again and can recommend it without restriction.
Not to be missed

5.00It was fab. My wife was unwell on our original trip day, so they moved us to the following day which meant we could go. Crew were really good fun, multi lingual and very informative. The caves and coastline were stunning and despite being a bigger boat than some others, we got really close into Benagil cave which was quite a sight. Then away to find dolphins which they duly did. So good to see wild dolphins out at sea! Great experience and I would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone.
Great 😍
