Review of Albufeira’s small-group dolphin search and Benagil Caves boat tour, with practical tips on price, sea conditions, dolphins, and comfort.

“Our tour guides, Diogo and the captain, Osvaldo were absolutely the best in entertaining us along the ride with historical facts, jokes and music. Osvaldo’s ability to steer the boat at high speed made the ride exhilarating while we felt safe. Diogo was friendly and serviceable. Always making everyone laugh with his jokes and offering to take pictures of us at the Benagil cave. The views of the caves, beaches and shoreline were amazing. To top it off, we were lucky to have seen a few dolphins frolicking and jumping in the ocean on our way back to the marina. Definitely recommend this tour when in the Algarve region. It’s…”

Review of the Albufeira to Benagil cruise, with cave views, swimming, practical tips, boat comfort, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

“The picture of the catamaran that we thought we were booking was not like the for our trip. There were seats on booth sides and a few in the front and back. We had to sit on the side of the boat that was faced toward to open sea and not toward the cliffs. - not a great situation. The return trip was no better as they did not travel close to the coast. Very disappointing,”

“The sea was too rough and really the guide should have cancelled the kayak tour, but it had been cancelled the day before already, so I think he felt under pressure to take people out. We were a group of 8 including two children. It was rough getting in the water but we managed it, but one of our boats was overturned in the cave and it felt dangerous, like an accident waiting to happen. About four of our group were seasick, not the guides fault of course, but it was too rough and the guide should have called it off. Landing the kayaks was really tricky too, we were…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 380 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $78

Review of Albufeira’s small-group winery tour, Algarve wine tasting, cork trees, Silves Castle, transport, price, and practical booking tips.

“Although this is a ‘small group booking’ please be aware there are likely to be several other ‘small groups’ booked in at the venue. The tour was informative. However, I estimate there were a good fifty people crammed onto the terrace for the tasting. There was one person trying to accommodate us all . Not her fault but as a result the whole experience was very rushed. We waited half an hour to try the first wine during which time the cooked meats etc became very dry. Our driver did his best to keep us informed about the wines, but as our group could not be seated together he had…”
