Dolphin Safari and Cave Tour in Vilamoura

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 342 reviews · 2 hours · from $47

2-hour Vilamoura dolphin safari and cave cruise, searching for bottlenose and common dolphins plus Benagil caves by sea.

“The boat tour was brilliant and guide very friendly, we didn’t get to see the dolphins but this is expected as they are wild animals and can’t guarantee that although the boat trip in itself made up for it going through the waves was an experience in itself and of course the cave was beautiful. Anyone else planning to go I would advise to wear something warm and waterproof as there is a lot of splashing on the boat and can get quite cold”
