5A dolphin-day like no other
This highly professional team of captain and marine biologist (and their little mascotte dog) provided us (a group of max. 17 passengers) with a beautiful and safe ocean experience. On this sunny day in October we were rewarded with large schools pf different species of dolphins. And while we were all making videos above the water, the team used a GoPro to film the dolphins under the surface. Then we were taken to a number of caves and sink-holes along the Algarve coast line. At the end of the interesting day, we not only felt like we had been on a boat with a group of friends, but we also received the GoPro-underwater videos of the dolphins swimming around our boat in the crystal clear waters. We highly recommend this tour with this family run company!

5The highlight of our trip
Fantastic!! The highlight of our trip, highly recommend to anyone wanting to see both dolphins and the caves, lots of information, very nice captain and biologist. We felt welcome and well taken care of
5Captain nemo tours is the best!
We enjoyed ourselves so much. The captain and Ana was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We traveled on a fun bouncy ride out to sea and saw a very large pod of dolphins. Ana told us lots of information about them. We also went into the Bengil caves and a couple more. Beautiful limestone rock formations. They provided windbreakers and life jackets . We highly recommend them! So much fun!
5An unforgettable experience!
Just came back from the boat ride. Could not wait to write a review. It was absolutely fantastic! Our 8 year old daughter had the most amazing time ever. We saw dolphins swim around just beside our boat! Then we went on to see some amazing caves. Thanks to Pedro for showing us the amazing places and special thanks to Vanessa for giving special attention to our daughter, the youngest one on the boat. Highly recommended.
55 star boat tour
A truly amazing experience, would highly recommend. We saw dolphins who were swimming next to the boat then onto several caves. Tour was relaxed, informative and unforgettable. Such a beautiful part of the world. Pedro and Ana made the trip special.
