Cave entry depends on the sea, and the RIB is closed to pregnant travellers and spine problems. 4.9 from 5424 reviews at €28 per person. - **Benagil Caves Visit with Dolphins Watching from Albufeira** — A semi rigid boat that gets close to the water and into the Benagil caves between Albufeira and Alfanzina, with a crew that talks dolphins and other species. No refund if none appear, and children under three and pregnant travellers cannot board. 4.91 from 907 reviews at €35 per person. - **Albufeira: Dolphin Watching and Caves Cruise** — A cave and coastline cruise with live commentary that ends with a swim beside one of the beaches instead of heading straight back. Children under six are not allowed and dolphins are searched for, not guaranteed. 4.7 from 194 reviews at €35 per person for 2h 30m. - **Benagil Caves and Dolphin Watching - 2.5h** — A big power boat that goes inside several caves along the Galé, Senhora da Rocha and Marinha stretch before Benagil, then heads offshore to look for dolphins. It carries a large group, so this is a cruise rather than a small boat, and there is a booking minimum. 4.67 from 263 reviews at €32 per person. - **Dolphin Watching and Caves Cruise** — A coastal cruise with live commentary that reaches the Benagil cave and stops to swim off the beaches, with a dolphin search rather than a promise. If the port closes the caves there is no refund, and swim stops depend on the sea. 4.67 from 1410 reviews at €35 per person for 2h 30m. - **Caves and Dolphin Watching Cruise from Albufeira** — A steady cruise from Albufeira marina to Carvoeiro and the Benagil sea cave with a dolphin search on the way, on a boat that takes wheelchairs. Sightings are not guaranteed and drinks, towels and hotel pickup are on you. 4.58 from 1521 reviews at €40 per person for 2h 30m. ## Other collections in Albufeira - [Family Tours](https://guidekin.com/portugal/albufeira/family-tours/?format=md) — 8 tours - [Boat Trips & Caves](https://guidekin.com/portugal/albufeira/boat-cave-trips/?format=md) — 7 tours - [Jeep & 4x4 Tours](https://guidekin.com/portugal/albufeira/jeep-4x4-albufeira/?format=md) — 3 tours - [Luxury & VIP Tours](https://guidekin.com/portugal/albufeira/luxury-tours/?format=md) — 2 tours - [Quad & Buggy](https://guidekin.com/portugal/albufeira/quad-buggy-albufeira/?format=md) — 1 tour ## FAQ **How many dolphin watching tours in Albufeira are available on Guidekin?** 7 dolphin watching tours are available for booking in Albufeira on Guidekin.
