Itinerary and highlights
Your adventure starts as soon as you and your small group board the custom-designed boat at Albufeira marina, from where you'll jet off at high speed down the stunning coastline. Things slow down a bit as you approach the renowned sea caves near Carvoeiro beach.
Here, you'll enter the intriguing formations by boat – marvelling at the vaulting arches of the caves overhead.
Then, it's back up to full throttle as you're whisked away from the coast out into the open sea – where there's a really good chance that you'll spot pods of wild bottlenose and common dolphins cavorting in the waves near the boat.
