★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,352 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $63

Lagos combo dolphin watching and Benagil Cave with marine biologists on the fast Hurricane speedboat, 2.5 hours, from $63.

“This was a fantastic experience. We were incredibly lucky to see both a large pod of common dolphins playing around our boat and also amazingly a group of orcas with two babies. The guides and captain went out of their way to enable us to see the orcas and explained how rare it is to have that experience. Our marine guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and was able to identify the orcas and tell us about them individually. The visit to the caves was also a great experience with the boat able to enter several of them. This trip was well worth the money.”
