Amazing! - We went on this trip a couple of days ago and loved it. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Some of the children on the boat became seasick and they really looked after them, ensuring they were comfortable on our return journey. Absolutely loved the 80s tunes on our trip, too! Did we see any dolphins? We did indeed! Right at the last minute, before we had to return to the Marina. Very enjoyable trip and the highlight of our holiday!

Ačiū, Vitor!!! :) - We went with this travel agency to see caves and dolphins. It was fun, the crew was really nice, one of them was Vitor he was really funny always helped when needed and he spoke about dolphins really well. We saw two types of dolphins and we saw really gorgeous caves, as well as, famous “Elephant” and “Yellow submarine”.

Excursion caves and dolphins - We came as a family with our 6 year old daughter, the staff was very welcoming and attentive to our communication needs.
A very good atmosphere on the boat during the visit, and finally, we could observe dolphins offshore which could delight young and old alike!
A very good time, thank you all!

Family friendly, professional, fun - I only write a review when I am overtly impressed. Miguel and his crew could not do enough for my wife and our two young children ( ages 6 & 2). More over it was apparent very early into our experience that the crew really enjoy what they do, take care of passenger safety and respect the environment they knowledgeably work within… particularly with regard for the dolphins… keeping good distances away while still manoeuvring to afford all passengers a good view. Multi lingual, upbeat, professional, competitively priced …. Our kids havent stopped telling us how much they enjoyed this trip and our daughter quite possibly wants to become a captain now thanks to holding the wheel and observing the dolphins from up high. Best activity of our holiday. Thank you guys!

Good tour, but not lucky enough to find any dolphins. Will try again in the summer. - The tour guides were Ok, they manage between three of them to cover English, French and Spanish languages, in order to present the nice caves along the shore.
Unfortunately we couldn.t find any dolphins.
The tourists, from kids to older people, found the cruise being OK and most of them thanks to the guides and the Captain.
Will try again an other time, maybe will be lucky to see some dolphins.

Fantastic afternoon with XRide! - We (husband, sister, myself all retired) had the best afternoon with XRide tour! They were so accommodating, we were originally booked for Monday afternoon but they had to cancel our boat so we took Wednesday at 3pm, but the morning of I asked if we could change to 12:30 and they said yes and took care of us instantly, it was fantastic! We had a great day on the boat, it was extremely comfortable for us slightly older folks and we saw Grampo dolphins which was super lucky!! We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend, it does not disappoint!
