Seafaris Tours
Experience the emotion of our most celebrated boat:
Tornado
The largest passenger transport inflatable boat in Europe equipped with two 440 kW turbine engines. The turbine propulsion system minimizes the impact on the dolphins’ natural habitat, making the boat quieter and avoiding the risk of collision with the propeller. This boat allows us to navigate the ocean safely and to maintain a dolphin watching success rate of approximately 95%. The vessel has a capacity of 28 passengers plus the crew.

It’s wildlife but we had luck so we saw a large group of common dolphins. We had an amazing experience, the captain and the crew were nice and helpful.
This trip was so beautiful. We were enjoyed from the beginning till the end.We saw many dolphins and at the and there was a surprise: the whale 🐋.
I had a really great time with Seafaris. I did the benagil tour and ponta da piedade tour with this company. two days in a row. Very nice and great sailing. It was worth it.
Visiting Benagil caves with their boat was amazing experience.The speed boat ride itself for getting to caves was so nice. Benagil caves is a must visit. You get to see many caves in different sizes including secret or unexpected ones. Appreciate rock formations and cliffs. To me, it was unforgettable experience and i think, it is worth for every penny.I thank you the team, the guide and the captain.I definetly recommend this company.
They were very punctual and professional! The guide communicated greatly in English. The only bummer was that we only saw a group of 3 dolphins and not an entire hoard. That's not in their control but beware!
such a great team. very professional, funny and experienced. from the ladies behind the counter to the gentlemen on the boat, they together made for an amazing experience. If we go to Portugal next year, we will not skip this boat trip. And most importantly saw beautiful dolphins up close. Thank you for a amazing ride! Abrigada
Experienced a fab 2 trips this week with Dolphin Seafaris, the first the Benagil Cave and some surrounding caves, and the second on a dolphin tour. Staff were lovely, very informative and the views were great. I would highly recommend this company and the tours.
What an incredible experience. Ran by a friendly and helpful team at both locations. The meeting point was easy to find. The boat ride itself was glorious, cruising along the coastlines with the sea breeze blowing cool air. The caves were magnificent, the guide provided information on each stop. I’d recommend sitting at the front right for the best views. Benagil cave is a must visit.
We went on a boat tour with Seafaris from Lagos to visit the Benagil Caves — and it was a fantastic experience!The tour was well organized, and the boat ride itself was beautiful. Our guide (Thomas) and skipper, Tom and Jerry, were excellent — both spoke perfect English, were super friendly, and made the trip fun and informative.The caves are absolutely stunning and a must-see when in the Algarve. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and boat adventure. We highly recommend this tour with Seafaris!
This tour was amazing! We got the chance to see dolphins after a long search about 20 minutes on the sea. We even surprisingly spotted a Sea Parrot, which is seldomly found in south Portugal, according to our guide. We met one family of dolphins and got so close to them. So excited. And I give great compliments to our dedicated guides. They gave us a detailed explanation about the species we saw. They’re very knowledgeable and helpful. Before we got on board, one staff also chatted with us so talkatively. We appreciate that. A very nice experience! Thank you!👍👍👍
Huge thanks to Sam, our fantastic guide, for making this experience truly unforgettable! We saw dolphins and explored the amazing Benagil caves — it was magical. Sam was super friendly, funny, full of good energy, and totally professional. The whole team was great, and the boats were great. I’ve no doubt this is the best agency to book this kind of excursion with. Definitely a highlight of our stay, highly recommended!
Our last day we came by the Seafari counter in the marina to book our boat trip.We were luck to have the boat just for ourselves of course together with Marco and Tomas, the guides. What an awesome trip with the guys as the kindest tour guides.Tomas was in control of the boat this time around and man he can maneuver through the smallest spaces around and through the rocks. What a great sight, so 5 stars for the staff and the sites during the Ponta da Piedade tour 👍
Highly recommended! We did the Ponta da Piedade tour and it was a unique experience. From Lagos we took a small boat along the coast to Ponta da Piedade. The landscape is simply impressive. Our guides were very nice and funny and knew what they were doing. We also sailed through many arches and into small caves that other boats just passed by.Really a 10 out of 10 experience and we were very happy that we ended up with this provider.
Highly recommended,Excellent experience,Top professional team,Thanks to Ines, Sally, Sam & EdwardoKeep up the good job.
Best trip ever with Marcos and Thomas. We had a lot of fun and learned much about Lagos. I can fully recommend the tour with them.Thank you for the great experience.
The speedboat ride was so much fun and we saw a really big group of dolphins. We booked via Getyourguide but it can also be done easily on site.
I had booked this online from India and communication throughout the process had been really easy and prompt. They have their 25 year anniversary going on so they also provided a discount for the trip.In Lagos, you just cross over to the Marina from the old town using the foot bridge, and there are a cluster of shops to the left. Theirs is shop no 5 and that’s where you meet for your trip. They provide you warm/wind resistant jackets for the trip.The tour itself, though very bumpy for the first 15 mins (expected at this time of the year) was a good one. They take approx two hours and cover 5-6 key caves, ending with the gorgeous Benagil caves. Given the size of their boat they could take us inside the caves we got some time inside Benagil to take our photos as well 🙂
No racists here! We joined this tour in August. It was a perfect tour as staffs are friendly and helpful. They didn't discriminate people from any part of the world! Staff can speak English fluently. We took many nice pics during the tour as we are arranged to seat in the best position of the boat as per our request! The boat is super fast but safe! I strongly recommend this tour to Asian people !
We did one dolphin tour in the afternoon without luck so the wonderful lady ( I think Sofia was her name) rescheduled us again for early next morning. Sam and Bruno took us out and success! We saw a group of dolphins and could observe them a long time. We got many explanations about their behavior and how to protect them. Thank you for an awesome experience!
The caves were top of our list of places we wanted to see while visiting the Algarve. The tour exceeded our expectations by seeing so many caves on one trip, after seeing Benagil Cave, and so awesome that the “Tornado” boat was small enough to be able to enter tight areas Enrique and Eduardo were experts at navigating through tight spaces with other boats around. They were personable and knowledgeable about the area. Thank you for our best day in Lagos.
5 star experience! Dolphin seafaris is a fantastic company to book with. I had an unexpected issue occur, which caused me to need to reschedule my tour, but they were gracious enough to get us on the next boat the following day. I’m so glad they allowed us to reschedule, because the tour to Benagil cave was amazing! Our captain expertly navigated us safely and smoothly and our guide Eduardo gave great information, took excellent pictures of us, and did a wonderful job entertaining us. We saw so many interesting caves and even a dolphin! I can’t recommend this activity with Dolphin Seafaris enough!
