★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 704 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48Our pick

Portimão dolphin-watching with a marine biologist plus Benagil Caves views, Algar Seco, lighthouse and Praia da Marinha on a small boat.

“Amazing experience! To start, Rubin Paulo & Joao were the best guides. It was very impressive to hear Rubin speak many languages & teach us about the dolphins and Algarve. And we felt we were in expert hands with Paulo & Joao driving the boat and taking care of us. Our group of nine truly enjoyed the dolphin search (lucky us to see 2 types!!) the quick swim, the rock formations, the caves, the history and stories and the joking with a pirate ship! And we were pleasantly surprised the seats were comfortable with cushions, a nice bathroom & snacks/beverages available. One of the most memorable experiences ever. Highly recommend…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 75 reviews · 3 hours · from $82

3-hour Atlantic safari from Parchal, Lagoa. Wild dolphins with a biologist onboard, responsible rules, and real chances for whales.

“Great trip with friendly and knowledgeable guide and captain, they had brilliant language skills that allowed them to communicate with everyone on the boat in their preferred language. They had refreshments on the boat and ensured everyone knew what to expect. We saw more than 150 dolphins and two whales, which was a real surprise. Both guide and captain were obviously passionate about animals and conservation and ensuring all customers had the best experience. I’d highly recommend.”
