Une sortie incroyable entre grottes et dauphins !

Quelle expérience ! Nous avons pu observer des dauphins de très près, c’était magique. Les grottes de Benagil sont spectaculaires vues depuis la mer. Le guide était très sympathique et nous a donné plein d’informations intéressantes tout au long du trajet. Une activité incontournable à Albufeira !

Dolphins and caves – unforgettable adventure!

This guided boat tour was the highlight of our trip to Albufeira! We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat, and the Benagil caves were absolutely stunning. The guide was very informative and the boat was fast but safe. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
