Bom dia & Seatrips is a Lagos-based marine tour operator offering a variety of coastal boat experiences from Lagos and Faro.
The company specialises in dolphin-watching tours, cave and grotto explorations including Benagil and Ponta da Piedade, sunset sailing, and combined sailing-and-lunch cruises. Many departures leave from Lagos Marina and the fleet includes traditional Portuguese sailing boats and the fast "Hurricane" speedboat used on several grotto and Benagil trips. Marine biologists guide specific dolphin-watching departures, providing educational commentary about local marine life and behavior.
Smaller, intimate boat options are available for cave tours, with some vessels accommodating up to 10 guests for personalized Ponta da Piedade excursions. Tours emphasize coastal scenery, wildlife observation, and safe, responsible cruising along the Algarve coastline, including visits to Algar de Benagil and Praia da Marinha. Guests can expect opportunities to swim, sunbathe, and enjoy onboard refreshments on selected cruises such as the Baia de Lagos sailing and lunch trip.
Sunset Sailing departures include a complimentary bottle of chilled Prosecco and require no sailing experience. Booking information and schedules are available through the operator's official channels online and onsite.
