    Wonderful experience - thank you so much!!
    I would highly recommend this company. We all had an absolutely fantastic afternoon. The whole experience was very well-organised and professional. The staff on-board were very friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure our children (the only kids on the boat) felt welcome and comfortable, that they got a great view and enjoyed the best experience possible. We also went with my mum, who uses a wheelchair, and the staff were really helpful with her, too, giving her plenty of time to get on first without being rushed. (My mum can walk a little, so she got out of her wheelchair once we got to the boat, and walked to her seat. There is a step from the pontoon to the boat, and the ride was bumpy at times, so I don't think you'd be able to take a wheelchair onboard.) My husband has some experience driving smaller power boats, and he commented on the excellent boat-handling skills of the drivers, and how they managed to safely manoeuvre the boat into and out of caves in choppy seas. My husband is not easily impressed, so this is saying something! I also thought the driver was very respectful of the dolphins, giving them a wide berth and slowing down so we weren't "chasing" them, and we still got a really good view. Communication and info about the dolphins was also great. I was really pleased we chose this company (it was pot luck - we hadn't had any recommendations and hadn't done a trip like this before) and will definitely use them again if we come back to the Algarve.

    Amazing experience!! Highlight of my holiday
    Parasailing with Leo and Ricardo was amazing!! Definitely a highlight of my trip These guys were great fun they made sure we felt safe at all times and new what we were doing or what to expect. They played music on the boat which was great fun. You don’t need to take anything with you on the boat is a great trip you don’t really get wet either. The photos they took were great value for money €25 and we got access to all the photos and they were emailed over within 5 minutes I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area on holiday

    An amazing trip out
    The check in is a bit crazy. Not really sign posted well. We booked via an booking agent but when we arrived there are loads of travel companies in this area. It took some time to get in the right place. However our trip out was amazing 2 hours on a speed rib. We where lucky enough to see some dolphins and other amazing wildlife and the caves were great too. Ive seen some 1 star reviews on here regarding not seeing any wild life. They make it clear that these are animals. And they might not be out there during your trip. They are not caged in and its a big ocean.

    Fun people, informative
    Boat tour was really nice and so much fun! We booked the Tour on Halloween so there was a fun guy with a scelettoncostume. Unfortunately the tour only went about 1.5 hour instead of at least the promised 2-3 hours. This was very sad

    Worst experience ever !!!
    I was able to experience one of the worst customer care . We booked a trip with this company for my little one birthday . Booked in the morning for a 12pm trip. We were 6 people group including 2 grandparents. On the arrival, we were advised that the boat would be available for that trip as there aren't big waves, and it's not allowed . We have to move to a bigger boat that will depart at 12:30. We wait until 1 pm without any information about the delay . At 1:10 pw, we were called to gather together under the rain and wind to make lines¿? 15 minutes under the rain and wind, small children and older people. After the non scenes of those blue, purple, and red grups , we were told that there would be no trip🤣. We have to queue for a refund for 30 minutes. They managed to ruin the day of 6 people. No apologies were given. No empathy . That is what you get from that joke company!

    Amazing dolphin and cave viewing, highly recommend!
    Fascinating tour of the caves and we managed to be there on a day when all the dolphins were out and about so we really appreciated seeing them. The boat operators didn't talk much so we were a bit confused on what was happening at the beginning when the boat was moving really fast out into the sea but then realized it was to see the dolphins that are on their own schedule. They also allowed people to jump in and swim however we were not told but it was great for my family. All in all a great tour and highly recommend.

    Fun and informative but no dolphin or whale sightings
    Would try a different one next time. Great to be on the water but not "wow" factor. Nice guys but not worth it but all and all glad we saw the caves etc

    Not the best experience in bad weather
    I think we must have been on the same trip as Kmarta who has also left a review. The weather wasn't great and the sea rough. I don't think it should have taken place either. Many people were sick and other than travelling along the coast seeing some caves at mostly low speeds which made the boat rocking in the strong waves worse it was more like killing time than anything else which is unfortunate. We did look for dolphins but it had already been discussed by the crew that it was unlikely there would be any sightings because of the bad weather. Unfortunately we didn't experience anything positive except the crew were professional. It was a costly experience for what we got.

    Excellent boat trip to see the caves and dolphins
    We went as a family of 7 (four adults and three kids aged 12, 10 and 3) and loved the Dreamer boat trip. Very well organised for check in, boarding the boat and information from our host along the way. Great views along the coast, amazing caves and we saw dolphins! Highly recommend this trip.

    Boat trip
    Fantastic trip out to visit the beautiful coast line. We took our 4 and 7 year old, although the water was choppy at times, they always felt safe and had a great time. Highlight of the trip was seeing a pod of wild dolphins. Great guides. Highly recommend

    Do not recommend
    The experience was quite scary, as we were in a small, rubber raft type of boat and went quite far into open ocean. There were weather warnings along that coast, so I wonder if the excursion should have taken place at all with such high waves. We didn't see any dolphins, and it seemed that the crew did not try very hard. It was very disappointing. The tour along the coast looking at caves was a bit interesting, but just looking at them from open water doesn't give you the perspective of the pictures shown in the advertisements. I would not recommend this tour.

We all really enjoyed our trip out on this 'pirate themed boat'. The two sailors were good fun and were interesting characters (Miguel sang and danced to Bob Marley). It was overall a fun trip and our children enjoyed it. My only issues after reading other reviews is our sailors didn't dress up as pirates at all nor did they provide any outfits to our children. That would have been a nice touch. Safety wasn't fantastic on the boat, the two men as lovely as they were were rather careless and carefree. They did chain smoke in our faces (not great) so this could be an issue. If the pirate theme is consistent on all trips and the men didn't smoke it would have been the perfect trip!

We did the 16:30-18:30 Captain Hook adventure sail from Albuferia marina. It was very relaxed and not a booze cruise so ideally suited to families. The captain and shipmate were very friendly and fun but also gave information about the local area ….. there was also plenty of time for a sea swim. Highly recommend for families.

A very disappointing and concerning boat trip. Have considered reporting to relevant safety authorities, but not being Portuguese, I wouldn’t know who to contact.

A small child nearly fell down the side of the jetty due to zero supervision from staff when disembarking, by a slippery and rickety set of steps. I note that the advert says it is wheelchair / buggy accessible - I’d be interested in how that can possibly be!

I understand the need to sometimes have dangerous items on board, but a sharp looking knife, very clearly visible and accessible by the helm of the boat is not exactly wise or acceptable with kids around.

The crew spent the whole time chatting to each other and playing on their phones. Hardly gives you much trust in their abilities on what proved a pretty choppy trip on the water.

There was absolutely nothing to do with pirates, any chat or commentary from the crew - not even just some music to break the boredom. Drinks were not offered at all during the trip. Just a total lack of interest on their behalf. Avoid like the plague!

We went on the two hour 4.30pm daily trip.
Given the advertising and some previous reviews. I was expecting the staff on the boat to be dressed as pirates and engaging the kids. This wasn’t the case.
One captain and a helper. Helper told us about features we passed but didn’t have a lot of detail. More gave the Portuguese name and the English translation.
There were a few tatty bits of pirate dressing up and two broken plastic swords that the kids could play with.
As such the trip didn’t really meet what we expected and in my opinion a bit of false advertising.
That said it was a pleasant ride along the coast with a 15 min stop for people to get in the sea and swim if they wanted. If that’s what you want, fine but don’t expect a ‘Pirate’ cruise.

Full day out at sea on a boat with real history. Highlights were boat itself and the BBQ cooked on beach. Delicious food and sardines! The cove was a special experience. The staff work SO hard- to get everyone on and off the boat safely. I think it’s really good value for money

We had a great time me my partner and our 4 year old son. He had a sword fight with one of the crew and even got to be captain and steer the boat. We enjoyed a lovely swim stop and was taken into the caves on a small boat. Great trip and great value.

It was an awesome experience and I strongly believe this is the best way to see one of the most amazing beaches in the world avoiding the usual crowds you normally see in the nice beaches of Algarve. The entire beach all for the group of the tour. In top of that you have great bbq with sausages, grilled chicken, fish, salad and drinks.
Is worth every single Euro!
