MUST DO EXPERIENCE - The Dream Wave Algarve Cave and Dolphin Watching Cruise was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the trip was seamless, fun, and truly unforgettable. The stunning views of the Algarve coastline and the breathtaking Benagil Cave were only matched by the magical moment we saw dolphins swimming freely in their natural habitat.
What really made the experience exceptional was the amazing crew – Tiago, Jonny, and Mary. They were professional, friendly, and full of energy, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere onboard. Their knowledge and passion for the region really shone through, and they went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Albufeira – it’s a must-do!

Must do trip! - Had an amazing time on the dolphin and cave tour from Albufeira to the Benagil Caves! The views were absolutely stunning and spotting dolphins in their natural habitat was such a special experience. Huge thanks to David, our skilled boat driver, for making the ride smooth and fun, and to Gabriel, our host, who was super friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in the Algarve!

Great experience. - We travelled with AlgarveExperience and 100% recommend. Tomas, Michelle and Ricardo were all fantastic. Very creative and funny and comfortable boat with great views. They really went above and beyond. They also provide a money back guarantee if you don't see the dolphins but you do need to pay around €50 but I wouldn't recommend as they do try and get the closest I've seen compared to other boats.

Beautiful speed boat but no dolphin watching or deeper cave entry - The speed boat was exciting. Unfortunately, the boat did not go deeper into Benagil cave, so we couldn’t see the open roof fully. Also, the tour did not stop for dolphin search either and did not inform us that they were not doing that. Given that one half of the trip was dolphin watching, I felt cheated. It seemed the driver of the boat was in a hurry, since the tour only took 2 hours in total, although the itinerary said 2.5 to 3 hours. Kindly look into this and provide refund of atleast some part of the money.
