These are the dolphin trips I’d book again on the Algarve, split between fast RIBs out of Lagos and Albufeira and steadier catamarans for families. Common dolphins are the regulars, often riding the bow in big pods. On a RIB the back rows take far less slam, and most skippers won’t carry pregnant passengers or bad backs.
Discover the hidden wonders of Albufeira on a thrilling 2.5-hour boat tour. Explore mesmerizing caves and spot playful dolphins in this unforgettable adventure!
