Dolphins & Benagil Caves: A Double Discovery on the Algarve Coast
Unite the thrill of wild dolphin watching with the wonder of exploring Portugal’s most iconic sea caves—all in one unforgettable catamaran adventure.
Set sail from Albufeira Marina on a 2.5-hour journey that blends two of the Algarve’s top coastal experiences. First, venture into the Atlantic in search of wild dolphins—graceful, playful and often seen swimming alongside the boat. The most frequently spotted species include the sociable Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the intelligent Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), offering an exhilarating encounter with nature in its purest form.
Then, cruise closer to the shoreline, where dramatic cliffs, secret beaches and sculpted sea caves await. Highlights include Arch of Triumph, Captain’s Cave and Submarine Beach, as well as other stunning formations carved by centuries of wind and waves.
Travel in comfort aboard the spacious Belize Terceiro catamaran, featuring a restroom and free Wi-Fi. Throughout the experience, the expert crew will share insights into the marine wildlife and geology of this breathtaking region.
