Absolutely must! Even though it rained (27.03) and we got soaked, it was the highlight of our visit to the Algarve. Fantastic guide Carlos Dias with a great captain (ATLANTIS TOURS) showed us all the caves according to plan. Despite the weather and waves, we felt safe with this team. The kids 10 and 13 years old loved the fast tour too! Fun, exciting and incredibly beautiful!

Wonderful experience, we booked in the morning at 11:30, the staff was very friendly and attentive. The boat made a long journey passing by all the caves and villages. The guide stopped to explain in several languages the different stories and shapes they had. The excursion lasted 2 hours and the boat entered all the caves, spectacular views. I recommend it 100%.
