Fantastic trip - don’t miss it!

We had a wonderful trip with Julio and Daniel. They were funny and informative. The caves were spectacular but unfortunately the dolphins weren’t coming out to play.

Fab experience. 100% recommend

Was 100% worth the price we paid for this experience. Meeting point was easy to find. This tour is the perfect amount of time, a lovely morning on the sea, we took the rib boat and was the highlight of our holiday. It was thrilling as we sped across the waves, also we saw dolphins!!! They were swimming alongside our boat and it was such a magical experience. The captain knew exactly where to find them and we spent a lot of time just gliding the boat alongside them. The caves were beautiful and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Dolphins, swimming & vomit

Does what it says on the tin. A bit too many references of how to kill your spouse or mother in law by pushing them off the cliffs, but a kind and caring crew non the less. They went out their way to accommodate everyone, even us that were sea sick and didn’t leave a sensible time between eating and boarding. We managed to see a school of Dolphins - most satisfactory.

Great value. Great experience. RIB was our preferred choice and allowed us to get close into the caves. Recommended.

If you’re in two minds whether to go - don’t be. Go - great fun, relaxing. Very good value. Staff helpful and knowledgeable.

Brilliant Experience

The whole experience with ALLBOAT was 10/10. From Claudia in the office to captain Julio the whole trip was fantastic. Let’s not forget the English interpreter who was brilliant. If you are looking for a wonderful experience on Albufeira Marina this is the company.
