Wow we had an amazing time.. doing the usual swim and coastal tour and the Benagil cave. All awesome with fantastic boat trip, commentary and photo opportunities. If that was not enough we then dashed to a spot of reported orca sightings. We saw 2. Such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much Dominic, Raoul & the rest of the crew. Amazing

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!!
