This was great trip along the coast line and then out to sea in the hope of seeing dolphins, we were unlucky in that respect as the dolphins were hiding.
The crew were informative and entertaining and the coastline is stunning with caves and cliffs to admire.
One word of advice if you are sitting near the back and the crew offer you a jacket make sure you take it as you will get wet.
It might be a little bumpy for very young children so think hard before taking them along.
At the end of the trip just before you return to the marina there is an opportunity to go swimming.
All in all highly recommended

Brilliant. We had a 7 year old with us and it was ideal... the boat was safe and sturdy, the staff knowledgeable and professional, the guide could speak several languages. There was a toilet on board for use if needed. The boat was handled superbly and we got in to see all the caves, and we had 30 minutes or so watching a pod of dolphins close up, amazing! Highly recommend for a family..
We also had to wear facemasks and be sanitised s it felt quite safe.

Professional organisation at Gate 4 in the Marina. The Dreamwave trip on their largest jet propelled vessel was fun and safe for most. There is some jolting and bumps so let them know if this could be a problem. We were lucky enough to spend over 40 mins watching the dolphins play around the vessel. It was a lovely experience. The crew will seat you according to group size etc and they try and make sure everyone gets their photos. The caves are spectacular with colours you would swear have been filtered. They are not. A little more educational information might have nice but overall a brilliant afternoon.

Arrived at 9:30 (following the online guidance) to be told that our trip is not going to start 10 only at 10:30, because they were not enough people booking this trip…
So waited one hour to get on the boat. Seen no dolphins which is okay, because that is not guaranteed. But there was no communication from the crew regarding this. We’ve only been told that there will be no dolphin watch when arrived back to the marina.
Been to these type of trips many times in dofferent countries but this was one of poorest experience…
If there is a low budget caves and ‘dolphin watch’ then the name would fit this ‘Dreamer’.
Very disappointed in the way the crew was actually communicating with us plus don’t appreciate the idea that we are buying a tour called ‘dolphin watch’ and when the company is not fulfilling this ‘promise’ noone offers another trip or voucher for another ride…

Dear Hanna Benedek,
Firstly, I want to Thank-you for bringing this issue to my attention. We strive at Dream Wave for all our guests to have an experience that exceeds their expectations, however, unfortunately, there may be times when we are slightly off target. This is why we appreciate all forms of feedback, good or bad, so we can sort any issues in the future.
On the day of your tour we started boarding the boat at 10:20am, 20 minutes after your original boarding time. We are sorry for this delay.
We believe that we have the biggest number of Dolphin sightings in the Albufeira and probably in Portugal. We have the biggest fleet and if we do not spot Dolphins, rarely any others do. We always try our best to spot them. We are sorry this did not happen our your tour. As informed on all our advertisement and verbally on the being of the excursion, dolphins are wild animals and we cannot guarantee their sightings.
We will enforce the communication issue to our Staff.
Once again, we apologise for not exceeding your expectations.
Kind regards,

The arrangements were done well and all points covered. However it felt like the guide was in a rush to show us the dolphins and so was speeding thru the coastline view points. We saw other boats swinging between rock formations while we were only sailing by. At Benagil cave, while a boat from another company just ahead of us was forwarding and reversing in for all people to get the same view and experience, our boat barely spent a couple of minutes only entering in and we sitting at the back did not even feel that we got to see the cave well. The changes needed are very minor, but it HAS to change. "Luckily" we got to see the dolphins to our satisfaction and the guide did his best to steer to where the dolphins were and in the end we were happy.

Excellent trip (kids 3&6). Booking was simple. Crew were brilliant all round - informative and friendly. Ensured kids could see when with dolphins 🐬 The boat was fast, comfortable and not too big. Lucky with brilliant weather but it didn’t seem too busy on the water. Never felt mega crowded. Lucky to see dolphins and the caves were stunning. Kids were engaged and interested all the time. Brilliant experience. Thankyou to all the crew!! Recommended!

Brilliant trip, saw loads of dolphins. Fast ride out to sea so not for the faint hearted or those prone to see sickness but all crew were so friendly. Great to be able to go inside the Bengali cave on the boat as kids too young to see it by kayak. Really enjoyed it and your was the perfect length of time too.

My favourite was visiting Pena Palace. I do not remember our tour guide name, but he had all answers to my questions and he was friendly. As being tall person he always warned not to hit himself etc. I am very happy I picked tour instead of trying to do the same by public transport. Also our group were pretty small (only 4 people, since there could have been 8), so probably this made the tour more intimate and pleasent.

Very busy down at the Dock but very well organised especially with all Covid 19 restrictions. Very well organised. Lovely big boat and crew very helpful and knowledgeable. We saw pod of dolphin's which was great and my first time seeing them so close in the wild, then the tour of the caves was great and very pretty overall and great few hours at sea would highly recommend it.

Lovely 2 hour boat trip to the Benagil caves and dolphin watching. Got to see dolphins which was great but didn't get a chance to swim in the sea, waves were too rough. Can go at quite a speed so any one who suffers sea sickness I would not recommend to.
