The boat cruise was excellent. We were lucky and saw several dolphins. If you suffer from any motion or sea sickness, consider carefully whether this cruise is appropriate for you. If you are booking it when you are in Albufeira, take the time to contact Dream Wave and ask them about the sea conditions in the next few days. We booked a month ahead (group of 9) and two of our party ended up at the back of the boat with major seasickness. This is not Dream Wave's fault. This was bad luck for us unknowingly booking for a day that was on the rougher side.

It was overall a good experience, however it should not say 2.5 hours when it really is 2 hours. We departed late (17:20 instead of 17:00) and still came back at 19h20… The view of the caves is beautiful, wish we could hear the comments of the guides better. The benagril cave is extremely touristic, I’d advise going off season to fully appreciate it. A bit disappointed we did not see the dolphins despite our captain’s best efforts to find them. Maybe don’t publicize dolphins watch on your tours as they are wild animals that can not be controlled and therefore it is not guaranteed to see them. But dolphins are a cash grab especially with tourists hey? The guides were okay but shame they don’t treat all tourists the same.. especially when they put more attention on a group of girls… We will be back one day because it was still a nice experience. Hopefully we’ll be lucky enough to see the dolphins next time!

Highly recommend! We were on the 9am tour (it is better to go later bc the chances to see dolphins are higher then) but everything went perfect. We saw a group of around 100 dolphins and we couldn’t be happier. Also the beaches and caves were beautiful and the team gave everybody the chance to take good pictures. The team was very friendly and answered every question.
