★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 10,710 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $40Start here

2.5-hour Benagil Caves and dolphin watching cruise from Albufeira with a swim stop, marine biologist, and $40 ticket.

“The whole experience was fabulous. Speeding across the ocean to look for dolphins was very exhilarating. Getting to see so many dolphins up close in their natural environment was amazing and then the caves, which were awe inspiring. Always wanted to swim in the deep ocean so the chance to jump off the boat and do so was great. The guide was very informative and friendly and the captain gave us a fantastic journey. We both had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and would definitely recommend this activity.”

2.5 hours on a small boat from Albufeira, searching for dolphins and exploring Benagil Caves with a possible swim stop.

“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…”

“Excellent seamanship in driving the boat in and around the caves! If you have seen dolphins before than go further up the coast closer to the cave such as Lagos. My only recommendation is to include the name of the company on the tickets as there are quite a few operators running tours from this location.”
