Dolphins in the Algarve
Common and bottlenose dolphins live off the Algarve all year. Trips head a few miles offshore where the boat crew watch for them, keeping a respectful distance under the Portuguese whale-watching rules.
Sightings are frequent but wild animals are never guaranteed. Many trips add a stretch of coast or the Benagil caves on the way back.
