      A must when in the Algarve!
      Amazing parasailing trip and would highly recommend. No hassle online booking and straightforward check in on the Marina with helpful and courteous staff. Great group on the boat who all supported each other and good banter too! Skipper and his mate were good guys who made sure we all enjoyed. I thought it was good value for money for what we got and would defo be up for doing it again. Thank you Dream Wave for a very memorable experience!

      Nice going on the boat trip little bit of information where you are at but not enough sound quality not very good and I know you can't guarantee to see dolphins and also didn't like the idea of passing to tip jars from the front to the back of the boat the tip them they should have this at the exit of the boat it felt like being in church it is your choice to tip that's why I am giving 3 out of 5

      Dolphins/cliffs /exhilarating.
      Saw a small pod of dolphins and the cliffs along the coast. The sea was quite rough so quite exhilarating. Very organised trip.

      No dolphins or swim
      I agree with @Robert after paying over £100 for it was an expensive speed boat ride. We saw no dolphins (which I know no one can help) but they did not tell us it was to rough to swim. We were not given the option at the start to say, the sea is rough if you want to go out today maybe you can go out another day. We went on the boat, saw the caves and came back. We did not get out to swim and did not go into the caves. I also think it's a very expensive boat ride and not worth it.

      A lot of money for not much of an experience
      If we'd have seen dolphins (I know not guaranteed) maybe I'd have felt different but I felt spending €155 for a family of five (children aged 11 are classed as adults) it was a waste of time and money. The swim advertised was literally offered as we left the marina with a comment that if we did swim it could impact time looking for dolphins so only one child jumped in a few times. I felt offering a swim just out the marina was a little of a waste i.e. why not nearer the caves towards to later end of the journey. Said child then looked cold the entire rest of the trip with a lot of towels around them. Also we didn't go into the caves more an outside view. From the images shown on adverts it appeared as though we'd have more of a decent look from the boat inside the caves. Again I get the boat was maybe too big for that and maybe I had higher expectations. But in all honesty I felt it was a lot of money for not much of an experience. I wouldn't recommend with children either as mine found it dull just being on a boat for so long. That said the crew were friendly and helped families with children with life jackets to go on board first.

      30 minute roller coaster
      Our trip was amazing. Daniel was so energetic. We had a scared 10 year old on board which Daniel handled amazing. Scarier than I thought I'd be but if you're fan of roller coasters it is a 30 minute roller coaster!

      A great crew and a fun trip
      We took our 6 year old son on the jet boat trip and he was frightened at first when it was time for the tricks. Daniel and Thomas were so understanding and good with him. He was very brave in the end and said he enjoyed it later. It was such fun, although you get completely soaked! Would recommend the trip. Be careful with sensitive children though.

      Travelled with my 14yr old daughter. Wanted something memorable as first holiday just us. Absolutely loved it. I am terrified of water and cant swim but i didnt have to worry as it was so safe. Really peaceful up in the air. Leo and Ricardo were brilliant. Definitely will do it again when we return to Albufeira!

      Absolutely breathtaking
      What an experience! Guides were amazing, the views were to die for and explained the whole way- stopping at the Bengali caves. There was a toilet on board and a small selection of drinks but we took our own. The highlight was seeing the wild dolphins which literally took my breath away and a moment I’ll never forget! Absolutely loved every minute. I would say it’s not for tiny kids as the boat at points went very fast and you had to hold on very tight but I found this exhilarating but if your nervous at sea then not for you. But I still rate it 10/10!

    One of the best most memorable thrilling experiences of my life and I've riden a motorbike 🏍 so that's saying something. It's a bit pricey but I wanted to try it once in my life and I do not regret it, it was a blast. They give a huge area to ride around. I didn't know jet skiis could go so fast. They have a professional photographer on a boat taking cool pics which you can buy later for 20 euros, I have 80 pics of mine all for 20 euros! I paid for 30 mins and I told my friend to time it as I didn't want to get cheated, the time flew by, I guess because it was so fun. I was on the jet ski for exactly 30 min. Staff were great and friendly. I highly recommend especially for 1st timers.

    We booked a jetski and parasailing activities through Dreamwave and were so happy we chose them.
    Easy to book great and friendly staff.
    We were taken to the jet skis and were given a walkthrough of what goes where and how to control them.
    I was surprised that rather than the throttle like one on a motorbike the speed is controlled with a trigger like a one-finger brake on a bicycle.
    Myself and my wife shared one and our two lads shared another.
    You need to be 16 years old to drive so bear that in mind before you book.
    We followed the guide boat out to sea until we reached the area specific for jet skis.
    And off we went, it was a bit choppy but we managed to get tup to 58km which given the weather conditions was plenty. We managed to get some really decent jumps on it and managed to stay upright. The 30 minutes flew by and we really enjoyed it. You can't help but feel like James Bond.
    Top tip, make sure you wear a pair of sunglasses if only to keep the spray out of your eyes.

    Amazing experience! Definitely worth it. Myself and hubby shared 1 jetski, and took turns driving. I was very nervous and only drove slowly, although my husband was rocking the waves with me holding tight behind him!

    Jamie and Mike took us out (shout out to them both they gave us a laugh when they tipped us over into the sea when they seen how nervous I was, this actually made me realise there was nothing to be scared of as the life jackets were very buoyant and took the tension away about capsizing!)

    Got some nice pics and funny videos of it after! Great fun and I highly recommend to do this when visiting Albufeira!

    I think if they are brought out to jetski away from the rocks as my son grazed the rocks with jetski as he was brought out near rocks to jetski. . He said jetski was unstable and although he turned away from rocks jetski drifted towards rocks out of his control. He was then sent off jetski after just 5 mins when he paid for 30 mins. He was very disappointed. I tried to help him get refund for the 20 minutes that he paid for but never got to use . He paid 90 euro for 30 minutes but only got around 8 minutes. They refused to give him any refund or to reschedule him for later date. Very disappointing.

    Hello RoisinF38, Firstly, I wanted to Thank-you for bringing this issue to my attention. We strive at Dream Wave for all our guests to have an experience that exceeds their expectations, however, unfortunately, due to your Son not understanding or respecting the monitor’s orders this was not possible. Before departure, our safety briefing was given normally as is done with all our Guests. During the safety briefing we clearly explain to avoid the rocks at the entrance/exit of the Port, for obvious reasons. Your Son clearly did not understand this huge issue. He drove the jet ski towards the rocks, was corrected by one of the Monitors. To our surprise for a second time, he once again after being corrected he turned away and went straight into the rocks, damaging the jet ski. This Jet ski was rushed back into the Marina to avoid sinking from the damage caused by your Son. We are sorry you feel you lost 90€ but due to your Son’s negligence we have a jet ski being repaired and would be very happy to send you the bill for the damage he caused. Please email us your address so we can send you the cost for this situation. When you receive the bill you can deduct the 90€ and send us the difference. Kind Regards,

    What an amazing experience! This has been on my bucket list for a while.
    30 mins was a perfect amount of time with the jet ski.
    The jet ski was a great machine and in super condition, we got to use the faster green one.
    The staff and Isabel were fantastic.
    Really fantastic photos taken.
    If driving a jet ski is on your bucket list, give Dream Wave a call!

    I rented 2 jet skis with 3 of my friends and it was insanely fun. Enrique and Jamie made the experience even more fun than we were expecting. They made absolutely sure that we knew all the rules and how to operate the jet skis.
    It went great especially considering it was our first time trying jet skis.
    They also took a ton of great high quality photos for us and they turned out fantastic.
    I highly recommend trying this out if you’re close by, you won’t regret it.

    The jetski ride was fun, however you can only ride in the same circle for the entire 30 minutes. So you cant go where you want or to see the coast. I find it very restrictive for the price you pay (almost 100eu for 2 person on 1 jetski). If you go dont go end of the day as the guides will make you rush and finish quicker! And they dont even allow you to take your own pictures or videos on the jetski. They take pictures and you have to pay 20euros for them.

    Highly recommended

    Thanks guys you were brilliant with us and kids

    Would definitely go again if we come back to Albufeira
