About this activity
EXCLUSIVE VILAMOURA: Dolphin Search & Benagil Cave Catamaran goes looking for dolphins offshore with a skipper who works this water most days of the year. It leaves from Vilamoura area, so you are close to the marina and the flat coast towards Quarteira before anything starts. Departures are in the morning, when the sea is usually at its flattest. It uses a small boat, so it can go into the narrower gaps in the rock. Prices start at €46 per person, and we list every seller carrying it side by side so you can see who is cheapest today.
Common and bottlenose dolphins live off this coast year round, and the boats that look for them work a wide search area rather than a fixed route.
The activity itself runs for about 3 hours, and you should allow roughly 3 hours 5 minutes in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Vilamoura area. It is run in English and Portuguese.
It suits families, low mobility. The pace is moderate. Most people manage it comfortably. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.
Morning. Mornings only; 3-hour tour.
