It was an incredible experience. Everyone was very friendly. The boat was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins up close. The cave was impressive. I loved this excursion.

Tina and the team were great! The tour was fantastic! However, I might recommend booking a ticket on a smaller boat to get the most out of it :) But the experience was still really cool!

Sail out from Lagos on a 2.5-hour dolphin-watching cruise led by a marine biologist for distinct commentary on the unique species you'll likely spot.

Visit the stunning Benagil Caves along the way and look out for marine species like the common and bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat.

Your guide speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish, ensuring you miss out on no detail whatsoever.

We did the dolphin watching and Benagil Caves tour on a catamaran, and we didn't know beforehand that we would get soaked to our underwear. The boat went so fast and so much water splashed over us. They did hand out rain ponchos, but they only helped to a certain extent. Unfortunately, I also got motion sickness and threw up, but I was well looked after and they asked me several times how I was doing. And we were lucky enough to see dolphins, and the caves are also impressive. So, the tour was a bit of a mixed bag.
