Wildwatch Algarve
About
Wildwatch Algarve is a family‑run marine adventure company based in Ferragudo, the picturesque fishing village on Portugal’s Algarve coast. The company’s mission is to provide unforgettable experiences that connect visitors with nature, supported by a team of marine biologists and local experts. Using stable RIBs (up to 30 knots) that hold up to 18 guests, guests can cruise the Algarvian coastline, explore the famous Benagil Cave, and have one of the highest success rates in dolphin sightings (98.2 % in 2019, 100 % in 2020, 99.4 % in 2021). The crew also shares fascinating ecological insights, and after each trip guests receive a short video of the highlights. A typical tour lasts about three hours and can be customised to include kayaking, snorkeling or a full‑day adventure. The company is committed to animal welfare, offers a guarantee (rebooking or refund) if cetaceans are not spotted, and strictly adheres to local regulations. Some tours include a free coffee and tea at the base camp, making it a perfect day out for families, nature lovers, or anyone seeking an authentic marine experience on the Algarve coast.
