Comfortable boat, excellent crew. - We saw dolphins! Never a guarantee, so we truly enjoyed seeing the pod of mothers and kids. Boat was comfortable, and Benagil caves very cool. Recommend: pack a jacket! It's cold heading out to see the dolphins, regardless of how warm it is back in Lagos! Worth everything though!

Seapurb - This was an amazing trip. The boat aptly named "Hurricane" is a purpose made, dolphin friendly speedboat hutling through the water at 44 knots. Saw dolphins but the caves won the day. Utterly amazing. Marine biologist on board. Superb day. Great staff. Must do when in Lagos.

Great excursion! - Great outing that allows to combine the search for dolphins (we saw a group of twenty including a baby! ) and the discovery of beautiful caves. The team is friendly, loves their job and very qualified. Thank you.

Dolphin spotting - Nice experience. Whales and dolphins seen. Sailed past and into caves. Very nice guidance on board. A sweater was needed with the way back

Very Nice Dolphin & Coastal Boat Tour - The biologist was our guide. She gave good safety tips and information about the dolphins. Everyone enjoyed seeing the dolphins, and the beautiful Bengail (sp?) Cave. We also traveled along the beautiful coastline. There were seats for everyone, and they serve soft drinks, beer, and chips.

Highly recommend - I really enjoyed the excursion. The staff were very nice/welcoming and professional. The marine biologist was a special treat; it was really cool to learn about the dolphins (their behavior, etc.) and how the caves were formed. Definitely recommend this tour and this company.

We Lucked Out! - This was so worth it. We lucked out and saw at least 100 dolphins. And we got to see the various caves along the coast from Lagos, including the famous Benigil Cave. Our boat had around 40 people and we got to go right into several caves. I was awestruck by the natural beauty and felt very fortunate to see so many common dolphins, including many young ones. The crew were friendly and great, and the look of amazement on the marine biologists face told the story. She was very gratified to see such a large and healthy population. The dolphins swam right beside our boat playfully. This was the highlight of our trip to Portugal so far and I can't recommend it highly enough. Just superlative.

A fun adventure - This excursion is a lot of fun and very worth doing. However, everyone should double check the time of the excursion. Our confirmation said it was at 9 and to be there 15 minutes early. The departure had been changed to 9:30 nd we were never notified. Also there was “ a long line” at the gas station so the boat left not until 9:50. It seemed disorganized and we were standing on the dock for an hour waiting to leave.
