Caves and Dolphins
About this experience
Start your experience cruising around 18 km along the stunning Algarve coastline, from Albufeira Marina to Alfanzina Lighthouse. Along the way, you’ll pass beautiful beaches, dramatic rock formations, and explore several sea caves, including the world-famous Benagil Cave. If sea conditions allow, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy a refreshing swim in the ocean. We then head out into the open sea in search of dolphins in their natural habitat — one of the most exciting and unpredictable highlights of the trip. Our priority is always to respect marine life and their environment, allowing encounters to happen naturally. You may also spot other wildlife along the way, such as seabirds, flying fish, and occasionally even sharks.
