Guidekin's take

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.

In our comparison: #5 of 7 in Dolphin Watching, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
