Pedro, the boat captain, and our guide, Andre, we’re both fantastic. Great journey, awesome sights. We took the 3:00pm ride and it was perfect. Didn’t feel rushed. Benagil cave itself is closed indefinitely so you can’t disembark and explore it. But we knew that when we booked the excursion. Still got to see inside briefly from the boat.

Our guides Pedro and Carlos were excellent. They were steering the boat very carefully to avoid waves from other boats. We went into a lot of caves and they positioned the boat so that we would have an excellent view and great opportunity to make good pictures.

At first, we had the impression that this excursion was unprepared... because we had arrived well in advance and we didn't see any boats from this company! Indeed, at 3 p.m. and after several phone calls from a young girl who had our contact details, we saw our guide arrive who took us almost a kilometer to find our young driver who put on the savage vests before boarding .. Conclusion we left 15 minutes late! The rest took place in pleasant conditions and we were able to fully enjoy our walk with commentary in our original language (France) and we were able to enter several caves.
