Description

Combine two of the Algarve's highlights in one boat trip from Lagos. First, head out to sea in search of wild dolphins, accompanied by a marine biologist who explains their behavior and the local marine ecosystem. When dolphins are found, the skipper slows down and follows a strict no-chase policy, so you can watch them without disturbing them. Then cruise east along the golden cliffs to the famous Benagil Cave. Pass hidden beaches, sea arches and grottoes along the way, and enter Benagil Cave when the sea conditions and the number of boats inside allow. Under local rules, landing on the beach inside the cave is not permitted. Return to Lagos Marina after about 2.5 hours at sea. Dolphins are wild animals, so every trip is different and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
