We loved this tour. The scenery was beautiful, the catamaran was comfortable, the guides were knowledgeable and professional and gave great tips to get good photos/videos of the Benagil cave and other landmars. I also loved going for a swim in the ocean. The only minor suggestions: -the washroom doors didn't seem to latch properly so I couldn't get them to close and stay closed. If there is a trick I was missing, please consider posting a sign to explain. Also, the light was out in the women's washroom. -Consider adding signs at the marina by the parking lot so people don't need to stop to ask for directions. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Was so worth it, the value for money is great. Sergio was a very funny and friendly guide, who allowed us to stop the boat when it was only me and my friends who wanted to jump in the water. Would do again and recommend.

Our guides were great! They navigated a windy afternoon on the water and shared some interesting insights of the coast line. I would highly recommend not only for the postcard like photos but the overall experience.
