Really good trip. This was the first time that we have been out to try to see dolphins, but this is first time we have seen any. There were over 100 in the pod and we spent about 15 minutes with them before going to the famous Algarvian caves. The commentary by Katrina was very helpful and amusing. Well worth the money.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. And the guides gave plenty of information about the coastline and kept things interesting. Seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat was lovely however a bit difficult to see at times since they show up in different areas for brief moments at a time. We also had a chance to go for a swim in the ocean so be sure to bring a swimsuit. As well as a jacket since the wind when the boat is going at faster rates can get a bit chilly.

It was such a nice experience. We were able to see dolphins and a very nice guide gave us a brief explanation of them. The atmosphere was amazing and it was not only because of beautiful views but as well because of amazing staff working there. Thank you! :)
