What people are saying about Lagoa

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!

An amazing day out, great value for money! The onboard marine biologist was very knowledgeable and friendly! We got so lucky with the weather and also very lucky to see dolphins in off-peak season with less boats spotting! Would 100% recommend to anyone else visiting Algarve! I should add that it would be a great idea to wear waterproof trousers and a coat! thanks and hope to see you again!

Dolphins located as soon as we left the harbour...PERFECT. The tour of the Bengil caves/coast was immense. English speaking guide was informative overall very good. Would recommend this tour if your in the Algarve. November 25th 2022.

Great guide. Good fun, no dolphins which was a shame, but can't be helped. coastline was amazing to see

Good ride down the coast and caves, the crew managed to find the dolphins for us. Great trip.
