Hi everyone, I'm travellling to Portugal in 2 weeks ant i wanted to book a boat tour of the Benagil cave and nearby caves and dolphin seeing. Could anyone recommend me where i could book this on a relaible and cost efficent website. Thank you. Also would you recommend booking on bookingdotcom beacuse i have seen some ofeers for around 40pounds per person. Is this overpriced? please share some tips.

    Probably better to ask the question on the relevant TripAdvisor Forum.

    We recently stumbled upon a website called Get Your Guide - I suspect it is quite well known, although not to us until now. Their customer service was excellent in our experience.

    The prices for independently offered tours were significantly cheaper than our cruise line similar offers.

    Looks like they have your Benagil cave.

    I was not debited on my credit card until 24 hours before tours took place, so that's a good option to choose - you can cancel before that time frame kicks in.

    One tour I booked had to be cancelled due to lack of interest - no problem, was advised well in advance and no credit card debits to chase for refund.

    One tip - prices for senior citizens are a bit cheaper in many cases - lookout for age criteria if booking.
