Benagil Caves And Dolphin Watching Boat Tour From Albufeira

Get aboard of Insomnia and enjoy the impressive coastline of the Algarve with a view from the Atlantic on this boat tour in Albufeira. To complete this excursion, we’ll also try to find some wild dolphins.

This memorable boat trip in Albufeira is the ideal thing to do in Albufeira for the whole family. The cave and dolphin watching from Abufeira departs from the Marina of Albufeira and combines the two most popular things to do in the Algarve: dolphin watching and cave boat trips.

We invite you to come on board on Insomnia, a super fast rigid inflatable boat, for a cruise along the Algarve coast, from the Marina of Albufeira to the beach of Carvoeiro. This boat is super fast and you’ll feel the adrenaline flow through your veins while enjoying the dramatic ocean views. We guarantee you will have a fun time with pure emotions.

You will have the chance to discover stunning caves and rock formations. In terms of caves, the highlight of this boat trip in Albufeira is the world famous cave of Benagil. It is one of the biggest and most beautiful sea caves of Portugal and maybe even Europe.

Before returning to the Marina of Albufeira, the boat will distance from the coast to start our search for wild dolphins. We find dolphins on almost all boat tours, yet we cannot guarantee you’ll find them because they are totally wild and not fed. Our experienced crew will do their best to find these beautiful mammals and will count on your help.

I booked this tour for my son’s birthday and hoped that we could see the dolphins, and the captain tried very hard searching for them, at the end we could finally see them swimming around our boat. 🙌

The meeting point was easy to find following the instructions from the ticket and we checked in quite early so that we sit in the front, nice experience overall.
