1.Combo Dolphin and Benagil Tour with Marine Biologist

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,352 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $63Our pick

2.5-hour Lagos tour with marine biologist dolphin spotting and a Hurricane speedboat visit to Algar de Benagil cave, from $63.

“We booked the dual activity: dolphin watch and Benagil cave and we were not disappointed at all. Every crew member was friendly and funny and made our experience even more enjoyable. We departed from Lagos Marina at 9:30 and stayed for almost 3 hours on the water. We got to see the dolphins within minutes of being on the water. The marine biologist was extremely cautious of delivering informations in multiple languages so that everyone on board would understand. The sight of the caves and cliffs was probably my favourite part, which surprised me. We were to get deep enough the Benagil cave and explore many other caves along the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 313 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48Top rated

Small-group dolphin watching from Lagos Marina with onboard marine biologists, fast boats, and respectful viewing in Portugal’s Atlantic.

“We managed to see a few dolphins at a distance, but these are wild animals and today they weren’t very interested in us.. it the trio was wonderful! The guid was lovely and even amusing, they tried everything they could to find more for us. The boat was fast and very comfortable and we ended having a sightseeing tour near the grottos. I will be booking again this week to see if I have better luck seeing the dolphins a bit closer. I would also recommend taking a jacket or jumper as it got quite cold out to sea! (It’s October guys!)”

Dolphin watching from Lagos on a small RIB with marine biologists, live commentary, and close-up searches for common and bottlenose dolphins.

“Very interesting boat ride - we never been on a boat like this where you sit like you are riding a bike. The biologist on the boat was very helpful in identifying species. The sightings were amazing and the boats around even from different companies were very helpful to finding the dolphins. The boat ride was very fun and we saw quite a few dolphins! One even came to the side of our boat. The time goes by very fast when on the boat and excited at the dolphin spottings. Views from the front of the boat was best but you have a great view from all angles and seats…”

90-minute dolphin watch by speedboat from Lagos. Wild bottlenosed dolphins, expert skippers, small groups, and an Atlantic ride.

“Het was een prachtige ervaring, na 45 minuten zoeken hadden we dan toch een groep dolfijnen gevonden die vervolgens een hele tijd met onze boot mee zwommen, echt heel bijzonder, de boottocht zelf is ook een ervaring, met 60km per uur over de oceaan is op zich al een uitje! Super uitstapje!”
