    We did a morning tour (10 am - 1pm), on 1st Oct 2020. Would recommend sitting on the right hand side of the boat when you get on to get the best views/photos. The two crew members were great. There is an indoor cabin/shaded area if the sun gets a bit much and a toilet on board. There’s so many tour companies to chose from, we chose Algarve Charters for the price & time on the boat (£25) A glass of bubbles was provided for the sail back to the marina.

    We took a Sunset Cruise on the Catamaran Mara with my parents. From the very second that we stepped onto the jetty until the second we disembarked, we experienced the best Customer Service I have ever seen 🌟 The captain and his crew went above and beyond to help my parents who have some mobility issues. They made sure that they had the best experience possible and I am forever grateful 🙏 The boat was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the crew served us a great selection of drinks on board. The Albufeira coastline is just breathtakingly beautiful, we visited the stunning caves and had a chance to swim in the cool turquoise waters 🌊As we sailed back to shore to the sounds of reggae music and the sun beginning to set, I couldn't help but be grateful for being given such a precious memory with my family. Thank you all so very much ❤️

    Great day out and charter was really enjoyable. Boat and facilities all great seeing the caves well worth the visit best part was the swim off the boat and diving into the water good times. Great company and easy to book everything ran on time. Can walk from Albufeira out which took 40mins along the coast

    Great and fun day on the boat! We saw a huge dolphin pod and went through several caves. We the were asked if we wanted to swim! About half of the people on the boat jumped it in! Was cold but refreshing!

    Has to be our favourite thing we did on our holiday. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The caves were amazing and we seen so many dolphins.

  • 5/5 Kirsty B. 10 months ago on Google
    Went on the matrix boat trip 2 day ago and it was fantastic. The staff were amazing and made sure everyone got to see everything but more so my young daughter. They put her in a prime location to see the dolphins and caves. We saw a huge pod of dolphins who’s jumped out of the water for us all to see - not going to lie I cried. We then had a man propose to his girlfriend - I cried again! Just a gorgeous moment I felt so lucky to see and experience it all. I’ll never forget this day. Can’t recommend this company enough. They were just perfect. Thank you

    I had a very good trip with Matrix. We saw many dolphins, pretty ones. The crew was very kind and always asking after the people's well-being on the boat. Thank you for a funny afternoon and thanks to the dolphins for showing up. You made some German tourists happy.

  • 5/5 David L. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely trip out the Matrix boat. We saw Dolphins as promised and then sled up to see the caves. Really great way to stay cool on a hot day.

    Beach BBQ cruise- Nice way to spend the day and see the beautiful coastline and caves. Chilled atmosphere. Friendly crew. Nice bbq on the beach with time to swim too. Would definitely recommend it.

  • 5/5 gerry o d. 11 months ago on Google
    Thanks for a fantastic experience seeing the Benagil cave, among all the others, and the added bonus of watching a pod of dolphins play. Staff very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend them.

    June 1st 2023 we went on a Matrix trip and it was absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw so many gorgeous dolphins! The sea caves were stunning and we were told lots of interesting information about the area. Would highly recommend! Thank you xxxx

  • 5/5 hey h. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely boat tour! Great views of the different cave formations, tour guides always happy to explain and help. They made sure we saw every bit on the tour even though there were queues of other boats clogging the way. Explanations in english, Portuguese, french and Spanish. Lot of waves crashing in and in combination with the speed you will get very wet so expect that. No dolphins but we saw wales :))

  • 5/5 Gherman A. 1 year ago on Google
    The guys are very friendly, we saw very close the delphins , a lot of beautiful caves . I would recomend 10000%

  • 5/5 Paul P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great team Matrix! We've had a lovely time, with lots of caves to visit and plenty of explanation over Portugal's history 😊 We'll be back to look for the dolphins 😁

  • 4/5 Daniel H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good morning out on the boat with these guys. Some great views and also amazing to see Dolphins in their natural habitat. Got to have a little refreshing dip too. Great service and quality.

  • 5/5 Indiemand B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic crew and transport on board the Matrix. Good prices for family of 4, two adults and two children. Daniela and the captain and crew were very welcoming, friendly and took time out to talk to you individually. The cruise down the coast to see the caves was beautiful but most of all we sailed along side the dolphins. What an experience. Thank you to the team! Hope to do it again some day soon.

    I went on the boat trip to see the dolphins and the caves. Unfortunately I was very seasick but I am truly amazed how helpful the staff was. They knew every step to make me feel better. And the captain was super gentle and that made this trip a little better.

    Amazing experience! From beginning till the end we enjoyed our adventure very much. We were even lucky enough to see the dolphins twice!!! Thank you for the lovely and beautiful trip! Sharon & Gentian, greetings from the Netherlands 🙏

    Very pleasant crew, we enjoyed the trip and also were lucky to see dolphins! Would highly recommend! Don’t forget to take towel in case you stop for a swim !

  • 5/5 Maybeline H. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the crew especially Gil! Everyone was so kind and the tour was a great experience! Was able to see a lot of beautiful caves and they offered drinks / snacks. Very friendly tour would highly recommend :)

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience, the staff are so friendly and ensure you have the best experience. They were patient to make sure that they found dolphins for us to see and also explained all the different caves and beaches. I will definitely be booking again.

    The crew and boat were very nice. However, the whole tour was not interesting. We didn’t see any dolphins and just sailing alone the coast was not that interesting.

  • 4/5 Maja N. 1 year ago on Google
    We went on a 2.5 hour combined dolphin & cave tour. It was such a lovely trip. The staff were so nice. The tour was beautiful and we get to see the dolphins. However as the dolphins were a bit far out, we had to skip the planned swimming trip, which was a bit of a shame. I lived how they kept good distance to the dolphins (but still close enough to see), and respects that these are wild animals. The coast itself is breathtaking and I could easily go again and again for more trips.

  • 5/5 Angelica W. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely afternoon spent on the boat, fantastic coastal views and information about the geology. No dolphins on this occasion but the nice guys running the tour put lots of effort into finding them, and it didn’t lessen the enjoyment of the whole trip. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Debbie S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing experience with these guys, loved every minute and saw the dolphins 🐬 too ❤️ thanks so much 🙏

  • 5/5 Kieley G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best time on the trip. The guys are all so friendly and speak many languages. You feel safe but it is also fun. We got to see the wonderful caves and then shot out to see the dolphins. It was so beautiful and emotional. We got loads of interesting facts too as the captain is a marine expert. All finished off with a refreshing dip in the sea. A day we’ll never forget.. thanks guys :)

  • 5/5 Tamer M. 1 year ago on Google
    We have tried the Catamaran Cruise, an amazing experience to see the caves! The crew is so professional and friendly, they become more as friends during the 3-hour trip. Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Adele B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an amazing experience. The crew was super nice, they took us to see the dolphins before the caves because it’s their priority. They let us see the dolphins for a really long time but it was a nature- friendly experience ( the dolphins were not afraid and swam really close to the boat). The captain is a marine biologist and he told us some interesting facts about those animals. We greatly recommend it!!

  • 5/5 Jaroslav T. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning experience. Crew was amazing, friendly. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins and of course all the caves and beaches. Just brilliant!!!

    We celebrated a friends birthday. There was about 20 of us. We had amazing time. The cabin crew Joao and Rafael were really good. They were very helpful and took their time explaining the local attractions. I would highly recommend and come back again.

    Was a really good experience! I’d advise to take a jacket with you and don’t wear Shorts. But it was November when we went. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we got to Witness the dolphins which was amazing to see!!
