5Worthy!
Great crew, fantastic day out on the water.
5Dolphin Delight
Great experience with MATRIX Power. Morning tour starting at 10:00. We travelled out to sea and were lucky to see a pod of 12-15 dolphins. We then saw the caves along the coastline and stopped to swim for those who wanted to. Staff were friendly and fun, making sure the children were put at the front for a good view. Sensible price for 2.5 hour tour. Throughly recommended.
5Great experience
Great boat ride along the coast, quick dip in the ocean and highlight was Bengali caves. We didn’t spot any dolphins but not for lack of trying! Crew was excellent with lots of interesting information. Good sense of humor as well! Great day!
2Dissapointing
The trip and the boat were perfectly fine, and the staff were friendly. However, we were informed that the trip had been cancelled just 1.5 hours before departure (and only 1 hour before we were supposed to meet), by which point we had already taken the train from Tavira to Albufeira specifically for this trip. The reason was that there were too few bookings, which is understandable, but I do feel that cancelling with such short notice is disappointing. A significant number of the seats on the boat are in the shade, including the seats we were given, so it can get quite cold In the wind. Didnt see dolphins either.
5Super few hours
Super trip and even saw the dolphins - guide and boat was great as well
5Great experience

About Albufeira
Albufeira is a former fishing town on Portugal's Algarve coast, with whitewashed old streets, sandy coves below red cliffs and a long summer season.
Albufeira was a fishing town under Moorish rule, its name coming from the Arabic for a lagoon, and its old town still climbs a hill above the water in a tangle of whitewashed alleys and arches. A tunnel leads down to the Fishermen's Beach, where boats once landed their catch, and the clock tower and parish church stand in the centre.
