Booked our tour from the water world tent next to the marina on the historic side. Excellent guide who spoke English along with boat of 12 was a good size for all to get close and inside many caves. This tour is a real value and definitely worth going!

We went on a last minute grotto trip. The guys where amazing. The route and the guide was great. Would recommend all who want a short hour trip to see the grottos and dance with the ocean on the way back :)

I booked a tour yesterday with a lovily lady at the pier. Due to miscommunication I didnt get a ticket to the Bengil caves and instead got a ticket for the Piedade boat trip. I found out when the tour was to depart at 2pm and so didnt go. Luckily I managed to find another agency who had a tour to the benagil caves that also depqrted at 2pm.
The lady was very nice and I got the refund today.

Taking the speedboat to the Benagil Cave was a lot of fun. The trip was entertaining, interesting and the coast was just unbelievably beautiful. Vincent and the captain (unfortunately I didn't catch his name) did a great job. We felt in good hands and the comments made the trip amusing. It's worth it👍🏻

The company didnt warn, for example at the Dolphin boat, that childs under 2 is not good to take, they also take babies to the dolphins on a chopey boat, also if the weather conditions are not that good.
Also the Dolphinboat is almost falling in pieces and all seats are already little damaged.

the high speed boat ride into the ocean would be worth it even if you didn't see dolphins. but they see them 95% of time and so did we . awsome! so many jumping and with the white stomachs they looked irridescent in water. captain filled us in on info of dolphins and other fish and turtles he had seen.

Our guide Josè was very informative and friendly. We did a one hour tour of the cliffs and caves, which were very impressive and beautiful. A highlight of our visit to Portugal--not to be missed.

I knew I wanted to go dolphin spotting on this holiday and stopped at many stands which line the marina. I was very impressed at the knowledge and non-pushy attitude of Phil (English guy) on the dizzy dolphins stand (about half way down the line of stands). He was totally honest about the weather and best day to see the dolphins, and didn’t try to just sell me a trip that day. He showed me the wind app on his phone and together we determined the best day to go. And boy did this pay off - so yesterday we took a trip with this company to go dolphin spotting. The boat was brilliant, only around 10-12 maximum and seats were 2 across so no one was squashed in the middle unlike other companies. There were 2 crew members and they knew exactly where to try to find the dolphins. We were lucky that the sea was calm and the dolphins were only around a mile from shore. We saw so many dancing in the water - a magical experience. We were so impressed with the tour and with Phil that we booked the grotto+snorkelling trip today. Again the boat was small - we only had our family of four plus another couple. So once again we received personal service and a brilliant guide, Bruno. He was very knowledgable and took us into even the smallest of caves. Brilliant experience. Thank you Dizzy Dolphins - we thoroughly recommend this company for it’s honesty and personal service and value for money.

Hello, if you are thinking about the grottoes and the sailing cruise, yes you can. Now, about dolphin watching, unfortunatly you can not. For dolphin watching everybody have a seat just for them with holder, and therefore such a young infant is not capable of taking a place. We have taken kids from 2 year old and thats the minimal age, depending on that day weather conditions.
