This guided hike for Seven Hanging Valleys was excellent. Nuno and his wife Sandra were on time at the pickup point. I felt very lucky as I was the only person booked for it. It surprised me that they didn’t cancel. Nuno was the guide, while Sandra would meet us at the other end. Nuno’s knowledge and enthusiasm was contagious. He was patient while I took pictures and if I wanted to take a break it was not a problem. I never felt rushed as he matched his pace to mine. I won’t tell but there was a surprise at the end…… Great couple….wonderful day!

Amazing experience! Loved it so much and was the best thing we did visiting Albufeira. The views were outstanding, the experience was really fun and the caves were incredible. Definitely worth the money and would do this again.

Had a great experience. First tour we did got cancelled due high waves but we were so glad we came back for a second try. Benagil Algar was what we came for but ended up seeing so many more incredible caves and cliffs.

This is an amazing boat tour. We went inside caves that we could never have imagined. Incredible navigation. Loved the local knowledge and guidance. Highly recommended. Thanks for the memories.

Our guides were very professional. The trip went smoothly without incident.
