Detailed description

Dolphin Safari in the Algarve: wonderful sea animals from Vilamoura

The Algarve is a natural and unspoilt coastal region in the south of Portugal, directly on the coast to the Atlantic Ocean. The species-rich and colourful flora and fauna impress and enchant as well as the diverse terrain with green hills, long sandy beaches and steep cliffs, in which mystical caves and ancient rock formations are hidden. But also the lively cities belong to the impressive landscape panoramas. A multitude of possible activities round off the package for an unforgettable holiday, which is why the Algarve is a popular tourist destination. Vilamoura with its beautiful marina is an ideal starting point for many of these activities.

This event offers you a dolphin safari in the Algarve, where you can take a boat trip from Vilamoura out into the Atlantic in search of these beautiful and graceful animals to watch you in your natural habitat while playing. Many boats communicate sightings with each other to give you the best chance of a successful safari. Driving across the waves of the ocean is also a relaxing experience due to the peaceful sound of the sea. Sit back and enjoy the tour. Following the dolphin safari in the Algarve, the boat will take you to some of the most beautiful caves in the cliffs near the beach of Galé near Albufeira. Listen to the almost meditative sound of the sea in these mysterious grottoes, where the stones play with colour on their walls. On the way there and at the end back to Vilamoura, the beautiful coastal town in the Portuguese Algarve, you will see some of the beautiful rock formations along the picturesque coastline. This excursion offers fun and relaxation, but also excitement and delight for the whole family. So come aboard!

Dolphins, sea, Algarve, and caves at Galé near Albufeira: Recommended excursion!.

Must have done. Really worth it and the dolphins actually come very close to the boat. What beautiful little animals.

Delfine, Meer, Algarve, und Höhlen bei Galé bei Albufeira: Empfehlenswerter Ausflug!.

Muss man gemacht haben. Lohnt sich wirklich und die Delfine kommen tatsächlich sehr nah ans Boot. Was für schöne Tierchen.

On a dolphin hunt with the whole family – thumbs up

We could watch the dolphins closely. Just hope you didn't feel disturbed by us. The picturesque cliffs on the beach rounded off the whole program. But there was nothing going on because of Corona, which was of course great for us. Recommended!

Auf Delfinsuche mit der ganzen Familie – Daumen hoch

Wir konnten die Delfine genau beobachten. Hoffen nur, sie haben sich durch uns nicht gestört gefühlt. Die malerischen Klippen am Strand haben das ganze Programm noch abgerundet. Wegen Corona war aber nichts los, was für uns natürlich super war. Empfehlenswert!

Good

Unfortunately we didn´t see that many dolphins. Still nice. The caves and cliffs were impressive!

Gut

Wir haben leider nicht so viele Delfine gesehen. Trotzdem ganz nett. Die Höhlen und die Steilküste waren beeindruckend!
