Set sail on a dolphin-watching adventure off the Algarve coast. Cast off from Albufeira Marina, zipping along the coastline to the Carvoeiro sea caves – they're some of the most famous caves in the Algarve. There's time to get a good look at the rock formations and natural skylights these caves are known for – and snap a few photos – before jetting out into open water. You'll be in with a chance of spotting pods of wild bottlenose and common dolphins as you zoom over the waves. Then, as you return to the marina, you'll tuck into a tasty lunch with Albufeira's scenery as your backdrop.

Really enjoyed the trip; the caves were amazing. Sadly we didn’t see any dolphins which was a little disappointing but you are reliant on nature so cannot be helped. The meal afterwards at Lemon Drops was also very nice. Good value for money.

Enjoyed the dolphins, got quite a bit sea sick as other people and that was accommodated. Food only had 2 choices for starter and mains I meat, one vegetarian.maybe a little more choice
