What customers loved

"Speed boat was great, a little bouncy but no too bad!!"

VIRGILIO, August 22, 2019 - Portugal

"So many stops at the beautiful caves"

GetYourGuide traveler, August 16, 2019 - United States

"It was a good length - a bit longer than many of the tours, but 2 hours on the boat was plenty."

Allison, August 7, 2019 - United States

"The kindness and professionalism. If you hesitate with other trips like the kayaks, don’t!!! We could see them almost crying!"

MICHEL, August 3, 2019 - Canada

It was very good! The tour guide was very funny and informative! It was a small group! The Praia de Marinha wasn’t what I expected and because of the season the water was too cold to take a dip. If you don’t like to straddle a seat for a couple of hours this may not be for you, but we were so mesmerized by the beauty of various beaches rock formations and the cave it didn’t bother us at all. Highly recommend this company! It was great that the tour guide met us at a main area easy to get to and walked us to the marina, unlike other tour companies who expect you to meet them at the marina, which can be tricky

My husband and I were on a cruise with a stop on Portimao, so we booked this excursion to see the Benagil Cave. So glad we did! The entire excursion, seeing the coastline, all the caves, and the guides knowledge of the caves and towns we were seeing, so much fun! Would highly recommend and if we’re in Portimao again, we will definitely take this tour again!!

Was a great tour overall, though would wish to have gotten off the boat to see the benagil cave islands as we made a long trip to see it. But was nice to see the caves when we went inside. Also advise to slow down the boat going back especially when kids are afraid of how bumpy it gets.
