The 15 Best Things to Do in Vilamoura

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,390 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $49Our pick

Vilamoura to Benagil Cave by custom boat, with a dolphin search on the ride. Entry and guide included, about 2.5 hours.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, despite not seeing any dolphins, even though the skipper tried his best. The views of the caves & coastline were stunning and the skipper & crew (in particular the guide) were extremely knowledgeable & were happy to answer all questions. The boat ride was fun despite the sea being a bit choppy and we had a very enjoyable afternoon out on the water. Thanks again to the crew & support staff for making it memorable, would do again to try & also see the dolphins.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 716 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $53

Take a 2.5-hour speedboat from Vilamoura to the Benagil Sea Caves, with a real shot at wild dolphins, close-up views, and guide-led highlights.

“Had a fantastic couple of hours on this experience with my family that include both my daughters (5 & 7 years old). I didn’t know if they would enjoy the speed boat but they loved it. The guides couldn’t have been more helpful especially with the making the experience memorable for the girls. The caves were great but the highlight was definitely seeing the dolphins where the guides were able to spend c.20-30 mins around them.”
