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…”
