    A wonderful boat trip to the Benagil Caves and to see the dolphins. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the marine biologist’s commentary is a nice bonus. We had to look around for a bit, but eventually found a beautiful pod of dolphins frolicking around the boat. A visit to the Penicill Cave is also definitely worth it. From the water, the coast and the cave are a spectacular sight. Everything was organized perfectly by Algar Experience. Highly recommended!

    A bittersweet experience. The photo of the boat didn't accurately reflect the real thing. The link for the meeting point leads to the wrong site. There are no directions there. As a result, I missed the boat. However, the ladies at the booth were kind and understanding and rebooked us on another boat. Statistically, you’ll see dolphins on 19 out of every 20 trips, but this can’t be guaranteed and isn’t part of the criticism.
