        We had a great time paddling along the coast and through the caves. It would have been more fun if it were longer and we could have landed on some beaches. It was disconcerting at times with larger motor boats cutting across our group in some of the more popular places - particularly when the currents were rough

        Really enjoyed this experience. Our guide Adam was personable and engaging. We had originally wanted to book the 10:30 trip but it sold out quick. We opted for 08:30 which actually turned out to be perfect…it is a very very very popular area with other kayaking providers (and SUP) so when we were returning at approx 11:00 the sea was packed with people setting off to do the journey we had just done! Going early meant we avoided the crowds, had easy access to caves and Benagil. We were provided dry bags for items which was handy. Had 3 in our party which was catered for without issue. Would recommend.

        This was one of the best experiences during our trip. The guides were funny, and helpful and knew how to help with the kayakers that did not have a ton of experience and were beginners. They made sure we got a bit of adventure while trying to be as safe as possible. Our kayak capsized at one point and they were absolute professionals ensuring we were okay when they saw that my sister was terrified of having fallen in.
