About this experience
The mysterious sea grottoes and stunning rock formations of the coastline near Albufeira can't be properly appreciated from land. Witness their splendour by speedboat, and then go in search of wild dolphins on this two-hour nautical adventure.
You'll push out from Albufeira's marina in some sporty style, on board your powerful semi-rigid inflatable.
Let the ultra-manoeuvrable craft give you a unique perspective of the mesmerising grottoes, caves and caverns that have been crafted over the millennia by the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Things then head away from the shore, out into the shimmering sea in search of the pods of wild dolphins that call these warm waters home.
