Dolphin Watching & Benagil Caves Boat Tour from Portimão
Overview
This boat is super fast and you’ll feel the adrenaline flow through your veins while enjoying the dramatic ocean views. We guarantee you will have a fun time with pure emotions. During this excursion, you will have the chance to discover stunning caves and rock formations of the Benagil area. In terms of caves, the highlight of this boat trip is the cave of Benagil. Benagil is one of the biggest and most beautiful sea caves of Portugal and maybe even Europe. Before returning to the Marina of Portimão, the boat will distance from the coast to start our search for wild dolphins. We find dolphins on almost all boat tours, yet we cannot guarantee you’ll find them because they are totally wild and not fed. Our experienced crew will do their best to find these beautiful mammals and will count on your help. Are you ready?
