Guided by an experienced crew, the excursion highlights the geological beauty and marine richness of the coastline. Along the route, guests learn about the area’s fascinating rock formations and coastal ecosystems while enjoying panoramic views of cliffs sculpted by centuries of wind and sea. The knowledgeable guides also remain alert for dolphin sightings, offering the possibility of observing these remarkable marine mammals in their natural habitat.


Weather and sea conditions permitting, the tour includes a refreshing stop in the open ocean where participants can take a short swim in the turquoise waters. This relaxing break provides an opportunity to fully appreciate the pristine marine environment while enjoying the refreshing Atlantic waters away from the busy beaches.

Booked this trip the day before and collected tickets on the day - 12.30 sailing for a 2.5 hour trip - £35 pp. I would thoroughly recommend the experience in terms of value for money. Set off to search for dolphins and were very lucky to find a small pod of bottle nose dolphins, including a mother and calf. The coastline and caves afterwards were stunning. There was an opportunity to take a quick dip at one point if you wanted to as well. The Benagil cave was impressive and the boat went into very shallow water to enable the best photographic opportunity before returning to the marina. I want to give a massive shout out to Raul, Yaron and Hugu for their knowledge, information and hilarious commentary which really added to the relaxed vibe. They were a masterclass in customer service and made the trip so enjoyable!!

Best day of my holiday!! I'm from the Netherlands and traveling by myself for the first time, so I went by myself to the Xride as well, but Raoul didn't let me feel like I was alone which I'm so thankful for! The whole crew was so nice!! We were so lucky to see the dolphins and I'm so happy that they treat them with respect and leave them in peace. We also had time to swim and that experience was also very unique and incredible!! Tips for new ppl: - You have lockers over there, to put away your bags - bring a sweater, cause after swimming it might get cold - You ALWAYS have to check in, the check in is at the back of the square(I've put a picture in the review). Even if you got a paper from the hotel. After that, you have to go to the orange flag, with your card. - If you're doubting to go by yourself: DO IT!!! You won't regret it, it's absolutely amazing and the crew is absolutely kind and caring. To the team: Thank you again for this trip, I'll never forget this trip, you all made it amazing!! 10/10

It was an incredible experience! The caves are absolutely breathtaking, and seeing dolphins was such a lovely bonus. The staff was amazing: very attentive and provided great explanations throughout the trip. We were especially impressed by Yaroslavl, who was super friendly and polite! Everyone on the team did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this experience, it’s worth every cent!
