The sea opens like a door as the RIB punches through dawn light — spray and salt on your face, cliffs sliding past in bands of ochre and honey.

Beyond the caves, pods of dolphins arc and thread the wake, curious and quick.

No — dolphins are wild and sightings can’t be guaranteed; guides aim for areas with frequent activity but sightings depend on animal behavior and sea conditions.
Children are allowed but operators set minimum height limits (not available for children under 110 cm) and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult; check the provider’s age and safety rules before booking.
Trips run subject to favorable maritime conditions; if canceled you’ll be offered an alternative date or full refund — operators prioritize safety.
No technical skills or experience are required; briefings and life jackets are provided and the crew manage navigation and safety.
The Algarve’s coast has long supported fishing and small-scale maritime trade; many sea caves were formed by centuries of wave erosion in the region’s soft limestone.
Operators work under regional guidelines to minimize disturbance to cetaceans; avoid throwing food or trying to touch wildlife and follow crew instructions to reduce impact.
