Set sail on a dolphin-watching adventure off the Algarve coast. Cast off from Albufeira Marina, zipping along the coastline to the Carvoeiro sea caves – they're some of the most famous caves in the Algarve. There's time to get a good look at the rock formations and natural skylights these caves are known for – and snap a few photos – before jetting out into open water. You'll be in with a chance of spotting pods of wild bottlenose and common dolphins as you zoom over the waves. Then, as you return to the marina, you'll tuck into a tasty lunch with Albufeira's scenery as your backdrop.
