Dreamer Cave and Dolphins Boat Tour Albufeira

4.4/5
76 reviews

The Atlantic waters off the Algarve are home to a multitude of wild dolphins. On this short dolphin-watching excursion from Albufeira, you'll explore the Carvoeiro sea caves by boat before heading out to ocean in search of these friendly and captivating creatures.

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.

    Der Ausflug war hervorragend, und die Crew hat sich außergewöhnlich engagiert, um uns die Sichtung von Delfinen zu ermöglichen, was auch erfolgreich war. Ein wesentlicher Kritikpunkt ist jedoch, dass der vereinbarte Shuttleservice uns zwar zum Ausgangspunkt des Ausflugs brachte, die Abholung jedoch nicht erfolgte. Infolgedessen mussten wir den Rücktransport zum Hotel eigenverantwortlich organisieren.

    Der Teilnehmer sollte wissen, dass es so stark schwanken kann auf dem Boot, dass mehrere TN sich übergeben mussten. Das ganze muss der TN 2,5 Std ertragen, das ist wie 2,5 std Achterbahn fahren. Hätte ich das vorher gewusst, hätte ich das nicht gebucht.

    Perfekt organisiert, nicht nur Delphine sondern auch einen Wal (Fin Whale) gesehen. Schiffsbesatzung (Maria, John und der Skipper) sehr kompetent. Minibusfahrer auch hilfsbereit und ortskündig. Nur ein Bißchen teuerer als ähnliche Touren vom Marina.
