What people are saying about Albufeira

We have seen the dolphins and caves with a short history behind the caves. Tour was planned for 2.5hrs initially, however we were searching for the dolphins 1h15mins before we get message from another bout who found them - we immediately have turned to that way and were lucky to see them. very cooperative boat drivers - thank you for that. then we spent around 15 minutes with dolphins and in order to respect their privacy - turned to the caves and left the place. it is awesome experience to see the real nature and it's life. overall tour took 2h45min and definitely worth the money we've paid. highly recommended!

It was an amazing experience with such wonderful views! The tour guide was lovely and always happy to help, telling you all about the surroundings! I would 100% recommend this tour it’s not one to sleep on! You’ll definitely enjoy it.

2.5 hours (roughly) going all the way upto the Bengali caves which were amazing and everything in between. 30 min drive back. Sights and staff were great. Only downside was choppy waters (January).

Activity which worth the money I've paid. very friendly driver and cool views of the Algarve coast. recommended

An amazing experience if you go to the Algarve you need to do this tour! Friendly staff and great facilities
