A very enriching activity. First you visit caves and then you go see the dolphins (if you're lucky). We had it and it was an incredible experience. I wanted to highlight the guide Maria, who offered us a very friendly treatment. Thank you!

Description

If you want to see the most beautiful rock formations of the Algarve and the wildlife of the Atlantic, join us on this dolphin-watching activity in Albufeira. This is an adventure you'll never forget!

Dolphin Watching in Albufeira

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Albufeira Marina and begin a very special boat trip. Prepare to meet the friendliest creatures in the Atlantic!

We'll sail along the coast aboard a speedboat, heading to the Faro de la Alfanzina. During the tour, we'll enter some beautiful sea caves like the spectacular Benagil Cathedral, where you'll see some of the most amazing rock formations! Also, if the weather is good, you can jump off the boat to enjoy the crystal Portuguese waters.

Afterward, we'll go out to sea in search of the wonderful Algarve dolphins jumping out of the waves. Not only will we have the chance to see these beautiful mammals, but we're also likely to spot sea birds, flying fish, and some sharks. We'll be accompanied by an expert biologist who will tell us about the characteristics of the cetaceans and the animals we'll meet.

After 2.5 hours, we'll return to the starting point and say our goodbyes.

Llegamos 30 min antes,mi grupo fue bastante puntual y salimos a las 12.05. Dejo foto del punto de encuentro. Parking junto al puerto,no es caro. Lancha rápida con asientos, se va cómodo. Dejan bañarse en el mar antes de llegar a las cuevas. En las cuevas no dejan bajarse, fotos y verlas bastante cerca. Seguidamente fuimos en busca de delfines, vimos bastantes muy cerca! La chica muy amable va dando información tanto de las cuevas como de los delfines. Fuimos al tour de las 12.00. Lo recomiendo! Translate this opinion into English.

We arrived 30 minutes early, my group was quite punctual and we left at 12:05. I'll leave a photo of the meeting point. There is a parking lot next to the port, it's not expensive. There is a speedboat with seats, it's comfortable. They let you swim in the sea before reaching the caves. In the caves they don't let you get off, so you can take photos and see them up close. Next we went in search of dolphins, we saw quite a few very close! The very friendly girl gave information about both the caves and the dolphins. We went on the 12:00 tour. I recommend it!
