Summary:
Brilliant trip today with Captain Jesus at the helm and Christian as our guide. The first part is a speed boat tour of the Golden coast of the Algarve setting off from the Albufeira Marina. The second part is heading out to sea in search of dolphins. Sadly none came to play today. The trip is well worth the cost and suitable for all ages as long as you can wobble along the wide jetty and step onto the boat. For the 2.5 hours you need sunglasses, a hat, a light jumper or hoodie and your phone for videos and pictures. You can buy drinks on the boat and there is a loo. I took a small bottle of water. You do travel at speed and it can get bumpy, but such a fun and enjoyable trip.
