A fun day. The boat tour in the caves was very cool. The guides were fun and informative. The fort is neat to visit but the hike there was a little sketchy. I was glad I didn’t have to hike the same trail back, instead the boat will pick you up at the fort and take you directly on the cave tour.

Feeling Berlenga was great! They were very experienced and knowledgeable, accommodating, and clearly wanted their guests to not only have a fun and enjoyable time, but also be safe in doing so. The company was super easy and I work with, good communication, and a Len overall no hassle experience.

First, please know that this is a special experience and is a perfect photo op / instagram moment. The island is beautiful and the fortress is special. We chose the visit including the water caves and hiking, and this is where you do not want to be surprised. The water cave tour is by boat and is zero exertion. The caves are actually pretty awesome, and I have been on other water cave tours. I will not spoil the surprise. The hiking, however, requires information. The hiking starts at the fortress, after the water caves tour. The first phase is climbing 80+ meters from the base of a cliff to the top. There are old stone steps, but this is quite a steep climb and you must be in good physical condition. Once at the top, the rest is a bit of up and downhill, but mostly downhill and no stairs. But: 80 meters is 300 feet elevation. If you choose to do this, wear closed toe shoes! Also, if you do not choose the caves+hiking, be sure you know how you will visit the fortress!
