Description
Board a semi-rigid boat at Albufeira Marina for an 18 km cruise along the Algarve coastline. Led by a skipper and marine biologist, the tour visits sea caves, including the Benagil Cave subject to access restrictions, and passes landmarks such as Alfanzina Lighthouse.
Admire coastal beaches, unique rock formations, and if sea conditions allow, stop for a swim. The guide provides insights into local marine life and attempts to spot wild dolphins in their natural habitat, though sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Access to Benagil Cave is subject to change based on Portuguese Maritime authorities' decisions. Seacret-Tours is not responsible for such restrictions.
