Before you go

This cruise lasts 2 hours 30 minutes and departs from Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal. Check-in should be done at the location shown on your ticket 45 minutes before departure, and you should bring your reference number along with your ID card, since printed tickets are not required. For verification and security, your booking is valid only once your ID card or passport and the credit card used for purchase are checked. The minimum age is 1, though this boat tour is not suitable for pregnant women or babies under one year old, and it is not recommended for people with back or neck pain. Bring sunscreen, swimming gear and a towel. Cancellations made at least 24 hours before departure receive a full refund or credit, as do cancellations made by the operator due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances; cancellations within 24 hours are not refundable, and no-shows are charged in full. If sea conditions mean the Local Marine Police do not permit cave access, the caves will be viewed from a safe distance instead. No refund is issued if dolphins are not sighted during the trip. Current pricing is available at checkout.
