I’d 100% recommend this trip, with it being a misty day in December we didn’t see any dolphins - but I still had an incredible time. The coast is unbelievable and the guys on the boat go above and beyond to make your trip good. One even sent us all a list he’d put together of the best spots, really good to have from a local and very thoughtful. I’d do this exact trip again.
Fun, informative, exiting!

The boat tour and caves were a wonderful experience! Very great value for the price. Tomaz was quite funny and the boat driver threw in a few exhilarating turns. I think this boat size was beneficial for going into some of the smaller caves. This time of year there was no boat traffic or waiting times. No dolphins on this excursion but the ride back was nice and not too long. Highly recommend walking some of the Hanging Valleys trails to see the other side of the beaches and coves.
Great experience despite mass tourism handling

Able to see all the caves …. Great maneuvering, scenery, and sense of humor. We didn’t see dolphins, but they definitely tried.
Amazing seeing the caves and dolphins!

We had such a great time. James Bond and Pablo Escobar were informative, funny and knowledgeable. They made sure our kids were comfortable. We were able to see dolphins which was so exciting for us. Bring a jacket! Thanks for a great time!

Very satisfied with this visit. The crew was friendly and informative. We had booked in advance, so, no problem (only day when the weather was not nice, but, that, it is not orderable). Despite the team's efforts, unfortunately we haven't seen the dolphins but that's the game. It would have been the icing on the cake, but dolphins are wild animals, so that, too, can't be ordered. Anyway! I recommend this excursion, needing more than, thanks to its small size, we were able to enter (a quick round trip but enough to take some pictures) the cave of Benagil, while other companies can not.
Great trip

The price point seems to reflect the expectation of spotting dolphins, which could be a bit misleading. While we didn't see any—since they're wild and sightings are random—the overall experience was excellent and entertaining
