2 adults and 5 brave kids on rough waters! we did get soaking wet and cold and had a lifetime experience 😊 the guide and captain did their best during the tough conditions to make sure everyone was ok! We visited some caves, but didn't find any dolphins. (tip, bring waterproof jacket! we didn't 🥶)

Amazing time, we even got to see some dolphins!! Joel (I think this is how you spell it sorry!!) and the captain we’re amazing. They were funny and kind. They even went above and beyond and took some photos of us! They avoided caves which were dangerous, for everyone’s safety which was very appreciated. Amazing trip, definitely recommend.

Hi. It was the best experience. I had so much fun, learning things about caves, and beaches and discovering Portugal. The guide was explaining everything well, she was calm and respectful towards us. I will repeat this experience in the future. Thank you so much to our guide, captain and Portugal for having us there.
