Details
Join us on a boat trip that offers you the best of the Algarve coast. A visit to the Benagil Cave in combination with dolphin watching will leave you speechless as you marvel at the wonders of nature. This stunning tour is a great way to experience the area around the Algarve coast in a relaxed way.
We leave from the port of Albufeira with one of our RIBs. On board, in groups of maximum 18 people, we will enjoy the view of the beautiful Algarve coast and discover all its secrets. As soon as we are a little further away from the harbour, we will see the first dolphins if the conditions are good. Especially common are the species Tursiops Truncatus and Delphinus Delphis. If you are lucky, these beautiful animals will show themselves and perform a trick, so you can take the best close-ups.
During our boat trip, we will pass various caves and rock formations. In a quieter part of our tour, we will have a short swim stop so that you are fresh for our highlight of the day, the world-famous Benagil Cave. The special lighting through the hole of the cave creates a breathtaking atmosphere, and the beach of Benagil is a good place to relax for a moment. At the end of the trip, we return to the starting point.
