Overview
Get ready for a double adventure on this unforgettable 2.5 hour tour from Lagos! Your journey begins at the Lagos Marina, where you’ll be welcomed by our friendly team before boarding one of our powerful speedboats. From there, enjoy cruising along the Algarve’s spectacular coastline. First, we’ll head offshore in search of dolphins, free, wild, and playful in their natural habitat. Keep your eyes on the horizon as we glide across the open sea. On selected departures, a marine biologist shares fascinating insights into dolphin behaviour and the Algarve’s marine ecosystem. Next, we’ll head back toward the coast to explore the iconic Benagil Caves. Along the way, you’ll pass stunning grottos, golden cliffs, natural arches, and unique rock formations. This tour combines wildlife spotting with coastal exploration, two unforgettable experiences in one.

Ponta da Piedade
1 hour
Set out on an unforgettable search for dolphins in their natural habitat. With the help of our experienced skippers and spotters, we navigate the Atlantic in high-speed, covering large areas to increase our chances of finding these incredible animals. While sightings are not guaranteed — as the dolphins are truly wild and free — we maintain a high success rate, respecting all marine life and following responsible observation guidelines. Along the way, our crew will share curious facts about the different species of dolphins commonly seen off the Algarve coast and the rich marine biodiversity of our waters. It’s a thrilling and respectful encounter with nature at its most spontaneous.
