Amazing boat excursion

Amazing family experience aboard the little speedboat. It's a little unusual in that you sit on it like a motorbike, but that was actually convenient when the ride got bumpy, as you could hover your seat. The kids really enjoyed the boat ride, watching the dolphins and seeing the amazing range of caves visited. Would highly recomment. It's a long ride, so you definitely need to be sure to use a bathroom prior to going. The smaller kids actually fell asleep on the ride back. We were lucky with the weather, but I can see it being uncomfortable if the sea wasn't as calm. We left from the Sagres harbour. Our skipper was Paulo and they explained about the dolphins and caves as we visited with enough detail.

See beautiful sights and learn a thing or two!

This was such a fun boat tour! It was great to be able to see dolphins and the Benagil caves on the same tour. There was a swell in the area when I was there so the tour was slightly modified and we left from a different location. I was glad to know that the company takes safety very seriously, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Definitely an amazing experience to see dolphins so up close, and having a marine biologist on board greatly enriched the experience for me. I ended up learning a lot about dolphins in addition to getting to see them. The caves and coastline were stunning and the boat ride itself was a fun time. I definitely would recommend this experience with Salema Tours.

Amazing tour but not for everyone

The swells were quite high and the boat driver was continuously jumping the waves and landing very hard. We were required to stay seated on the boat for safety reasons, but a woman two rows in front of us experienced a back injury and was reduced to tears by the failure to slow down to avoid further injury to her. The dolphins were amazing, however. They came right alongside the boat and we were able to get some excellent photos and videos. A marine biologist accompanied us and told us quite a bit about the dolphins. The water was too rough to go very far inside the Benagil cave, but we got closer enough for some nice photos. All in all a nice day, but do not recommend this trip for older people, pregnant women or those with back or knee issues. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
