Feel the rush of the Atlantic breezing by as you set sail along the coast of the Algarve in search of wild dolphins. A marine biologist will join your cruise, helping you spot common and bottlenose dolphins in their natural environment and sharing insights about their playful behaviour. Then, set your sights on another natural wonder – Benagil Cave. Carved into the coast over thousands of years, this iconic cave has a natural sunroof in the ceiling that frames the blue sky above. Make sure you get plenty of photos, then add to your Insta-worthy footage at Ponta da Piedade, where limestone arches and towers litter the sea. Stop for a relaxing swim before you sail back to Lagos Marina.
