5.00Great intro to the coastline. Daniel and the skipper António (Banderas !) were very friendly and made this memorable. We enjoyed it because we followed it up by a Seven Hanging Valleys Hike, and we could appreciate the landmarks better. Overall great experience

5.00Great tour to see the coast of the Algarve. This tour was especially great because they contacted me ahead of my planned itinerary that I would need to reschedule or cancel due to poor forecasted water conditions. The only possible day we had available was the day they contacted me, and they accommodated us right away. This was a highlight of our trip, and the clear communication, flexibility, and focus on safety are all much appreciated!
Great tour experience

4.00Stay on boat whole time. Do not get wet. Guides were kind and funny. Smaller boat size. Try to sit near back of boat so you can hear the guides
Just book it!

5.00Had the best boat trip with Daniel and Antonio. Seeing the caves up close was a great experience, and Antonio is a skilled driver. An unforgettable trip! I’d happily do it all over again. Also worth noting that these boats actually take you into the caves - some of the larger boats would not manage and you’d only see caves from outside
Amazing Experience!

5.00It was an amazing experience! Going on a small boat allows you the opportunity to go inside many of the caves vs just looking at them from the outside. The captain, Antonio, was very experienced and did a superb job making the ride as smooth as possible. The tour guide was informative, funny and kind. The time went by quickly and was the perfect way to end our vacation. It was a beautiful trip and one we will never forget!
Highly recommend

5.00Our original tour was cancelled because of rough waters. The company kept in touch and was really great at rescheduling us as soon as the water was calmer. The experience was amazing and the caves are breathtaking. The crew - Joao and Paulo, are so funny, and the information they provide is so helpful during the tour. They are excellent drivers! We laughed and had a blast. Don't hesitate to book and if you get Joao and Paulo you for sure are in for a great ride!
A Don't Miss Experience!

5.00A highly recommended experience. I was the only English speaker in the boat, and the guide made sure to fill me in as we navigated the different sites. Benagil Cave gets all the publicity, but we entered many caves that were just as awesome.
