About this experience
For those seeking a closer connection with nature and a good dose of adrenaline, the Dolphins & Benagil Caves – RIB tour is the perfect choice. Aboard a fast vessel with capacity for 12 to 18 passengers, you’ll have easier access to the caves and get even closer to dolphins in the wild — always with full respect for the marine environment, ensured by the presence of a marine biologist on board.
This format offers an immersive and intimate experience, ideal for those who enjoy strong emotions and direct contact with the natural beauty of the Algarve coastline.
The closeness to the sea, the speed of the boat, and the privileged access to the caves create a fully immersive experience — more intense, more thrilling, and more memorable.
The most commonly sighted cetacean species are the Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus).
