Dolphin Watching and Cave Tour Algarve Coast from Albufeira 2-Hour

• On this 2 hour boat trip you will travel see the Algarve coast in all its beauty. The boat trip offers a different perspective of the coast since you'll be out at sea looking inland rather than the usual standing on land looking out to sea. You will visit the beautiful caves, grottos, and rock formations of the area as you travel between Albufeira Marina and Carvoeiro beach. You will also, hopefully, be able to watch playful dolphins in their natural environment - A dream come true for anyone lucky enough. A knowledgeable guide will be onboard to tell you facts about the area and what you are seeing, pointing out flora and fauna and discussing some history of the area as well as sharing the local folklore stories. There's an opportunity for swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear water so be sure to wear your swimsuit and pack your snorkel equipment.
