      Got to see lots of dolphins!
      My sister and I went on the Dreamer tour and it was money very well spent! We began the trip with going off the coast to go dolphin watching and we were not disappointed at all. Once we found the dolphins we were able to watch them for about 15 minutes before heading back to the coast. We were able to go into many caves including the most famous Benagil cave and our crew, Diogo and Filipa were very informative about what we were seeing! We had a chance to jump in the water as well. Our captain Pedro also made the boat ride as comfortable as possible. Overall it was a great afternoon and I would most definitely recommend!

      Great boat trip and stunning views
      My family and I had a great time on the caves and dolphins tour! While we didn’t see any dolphins, the caves and coastline were stunning and our captain Filip and guide Tomas were very engaging and made the trip so memorable! Thank you both ☺️

      Disaster
      I recently went on a boat tour that was a complete disappointment. After arriving early, we were told to stand at the back of the line while a larger group was given priority. As a result, we ended up with the worst seats on the boat. To make matters worse, the boat itself had two metal bars at the front, making it nearly impossible to take decent photos. It felt like a complete tourist trap. We also questioned whether dolphins were actually spotted frequently, as it seemed more like a gimmick to attract tourists. Save your money and opt for a smaller boat with fewer passengers instead. I highly advise against buying tickets for this tour.

      It was such an experience! The young sailors Pedro, Filipe and Diogo were great guides. Seeing the dolphins and the caves was surprising. I recommend it.

      Worth the price & more
      Fabulous trip, well worth the money however we only spent 2 minutes with the dolphins which was disappointing as that was the main appeal of the trip Captain and co. very friendly, funny and considerate people

      10/10
      A fantastic activity for while you’re visiting the Algarve! The boat ride is fun, the music set a great vibe. Bruno, our tour guide, was 10/10 - he made the tour super fun and was very attentive to everyone on board. Sadly, we didn’t see any dolphins due to the weather letting us down, but it was still great. Muito obrigada por uma ótima experiência!

      A must have experience 10/10
      The Dreamer Boat trip was a wonderful experience and I would thoroughly recommend. The crew were having fun with all tourists on board and riding the turbulent waves was really fun. We would have had a great time regardless if we saw any dolphins or not; we saw around a dozen and it was such a magical experience seeing the graceful creatures in the wild. The caves were also a wonderful natural beauty.

      Caves and Dolphins
      We had a fantastic caves and dolphin trip with Bruno and the team. We were so lucky we saw so many dolphins, it was amazing. Bruno and the team were great. We wish we were there longer to do more trips. I would definitely recommend, unforgettable memories made. Sorry I have no pictures of the dolphins, but we have amazing videos of the dolphins which I can’t upload.

      Nice tour
      It was a very nice trip, we also spotted dolphins. Thrilling as well but safety was considered. Only thing is that it was very less time at the benagil cave , would have been better if we could spend 5minutes more there. But overall it was very informative, good tour. our tour guide was also very careful about how everyone is feeling onboard.

      Wonderful trip with beautiful views and we were so lucky to see dolphins, we were the only boat there! Great effort from Rafa, João and Silvestre to find them! They were also very nice and helpful. Really enjoyed it!

    We've been on this jet boat before and loved it, so we were really looking forward to it again but this time I'm sorry to say was not as good.
    Firstly the driver was very nice and friendly.
    It was definitely not the full 30 min. It nearly took 10 min to leave the harbour area slooowly and 10 min to get back in sloooowly. We had 4 sudden turns and that was it. No sudden stops like previous times which were so much fun. Not sure if it was because there was a 7 year old on board who wasn't enjoying it and afraid?
    Having paid over €100 for 3 of us it was disappointing.Having spoken to another couple they said same 😒 they said they'd thought it would be better!

    Easy to book and find the boat, all staff very well organised and pleasant. The jet boat really is some bit of kit, awesome power and manoeuvrability creating a high adrenaline adventure. Very skilled captain getting us all soaked but absolutely howling in laughter. Would highly recommend!

    The boat trip was amazing, and our guides daniel and Tom (??) we’re fantastic, thank you. The trip was a little bit pricy given it doesn’t last long, but if you want to spend the money, this is a fun half hour on a boat.

    Tom and Daniel were brilliant on the jet boat! They were funny and informative about our ride! It was a great experience! We all loved it! We did the jet skis as well, don’t know the instructors name but he was great too! Definitely recommend Dreamwave!! Lovely area to sit in the shade with food and drinks whilst we waited for our time slots! They were also very accommodating and let us swap times as we arrived a bit earlier and they had space! Also something to note, you need to take ID to take part in the activities but you can just take a photo of your passport to save you carrying it around with you.

    1hr Jet boat Tour with Daniel & Tomas. First class! Was a laugh from start to end. I was very nervous but put to ease with the professionalism of the boys. We had the best time. My only point would be, Please tell customers at the time of booking to wear swimwear & take a change of clothes 😆👌🏼 xx

    Brilliant experience! Tom the guide and Rodriguez the skipper were brilliant, making sure everyone was safe but also having fun. We had a couple of quite small children on our trip, so they tonned it down a tad and made sure everyone was happy before and after each manoeuvre.
    It is quite an extreme ride, particularly the power brakes, but its totally worth the experience.

    Exciting trip indeed...
    But checking in was a drama. The lady behind the counter clearly didn't understand IT. Constantly asking to check my email to see when we had booked. And don't do anything with the QR code we received by email.

    Finally she asked us to come back at 2pm and report so we could get on the boat. The boat was at sea at 2 p.m. We were accused of checking in too early (1:15 PM as requested in the email) and that they asked her to come back and report at 1:30 PM, not 2 PM. This was quite a lie but after protesting we were able to go with the next one.

    Not reported again with this (slightly older-looking) lady, but with another.

    However, once in the boat it turned out to be a 30 minute ride. Nice experience in itself but shorter than booked. We had booked a 1-hour ride online! Back on shore we had other things to do so we couldn't do the one hour drive and no time to demand a refund. Management should take another look at the handling of online bookings...

    Although this wasn’t what I expected, myself and my partner had a blast! Get ready to be soaked, so listen to them when they tell you to protect your belongings 😂 The guides were absolutely phenomenal, we had captain Daniel and I can’t fully remember our other guides name but it was like Pietro or Pedro, long hair, lovely guy! They made sure we were all okay after every trick and kept us laughing the whole time 😁 As someone who is terrified of the ocean, I can honestly say I went in scared as hell and left feeling so joyful of the experience I had! I highly recommend it 😍

    Brilliant if you like fast boats being the sun and getting wet. When you are told you will get wet that means soaked soaked soaked yes three soaks. Best £25 I’ve spent on a fast ride

    The ride (Full 30min.) is highly recommended for water lovers. The tremendous power of water in full braking. The short drive to the rocks/caves was great. The well-coordinated team also leaves with very few passengers.
