Cruise along the coast of Lagos and Ponta da Piedade in the Barlavento region of the Algarve and see the rock formations and hidden grottos from the inside. Get an amazing perspective of famous beaches such as D. Ana Beach and Camilo Beach from the sea. Relax in comfort on cushioned seats and listen to explanations from your skipper as you depart Marina de Lagos and sail towards the Ponta da Bandeira Fort. Pass the beaches of Batata and Pinhão, as well as a nudist beach as you continue to the rock formations of Ponta da Piedade. Marvel at the yellow-golden cliff-like rocks, given names such as the "Kitchen" and "Living Room" for their unusual shapes.

The cruise was generally allright. The landscape is very nice and the boat is entering through different rock formations. Our skipper Jose was skilled. What we didn't like - the skipper was a little bit late and the return to the harbour was done far away from the cliffs comparing to other boats. We would have liked to have the opportunity to admire the cliffs closer.

The tour is very well organized and the meeting point is easy to find. Due to bad weather our tour was postponed and we were called beforehand and informed about it. The boat trip was really great and we had a great boatswain, and I thought the duration of 75 minutes was very good.

Easy to book and easy to find the meeting area by the marina. It was great getting to see the grottos close up. Our guide was able to enter a few of the grottos with the boat we were on . This tour was a great value and I would recommend it!
