About this experience
Our tour combines two of the most sought-after experiences in the Algarve in a single trip: the iconic Benagil Cave and wild dolphin watching. Our boats let us get closer to the dolphins than many other vessels, offering a closer, more thrilling view of this unique encounter. Unlike many similar tours, we always have a marine biologist on board, sharing knowledge about dolphin behavior and the local marine ecosystem — making the experience as educational as it is unforgettable. Our experienced team ensures a safe, respectful, and responsible encounter with wildlife, always prioritizing the dolphins' wellbeing in their natural habitat.

Itinerary and highlights
At Seafaris, we invite you to join us at Lagos Marina for a boat trip to Benagil and dolphin watching, one of the most complete experiences in the Algarve. Along the coast, we explore golden cliffs, hidden beaches, and several sea caves, including the iconic Benagil Cave, accessible only by sea.
We then head out into the Atlantic Ocean in search of wild dolphins in their natural habitat, such as bottlenose and common dolphins. On board, a marine biologist always accompanies the trip, sharing knowledge about dolphin behavior and the Algarve's marine ecosystem — a unique feature that makes this tour even more educational and memorable.
Guided by our experienced team, our passengers observe these animals up close, always with full respect for their natural habitat. At the end, we return to Lagos Marina with a complete Lagos experience that combines breathtaking scenery, marine life, and memories to treasure forever.
