Very nice experience with a entusastic guide when doung the hike from the castle back to the village. It would be good to have some more time on the island to spend on the beach or the restaurants.

We really enjoyed Berlengas Island. The ride over was pretty choppy but most people actually enjoyed it, save for one little girl in the boat. We left the castle and walked up to the lighthouse with our guide and a group of 10 others. We were at the back of the group and unfortunately could not hear the information provided about the lighthouse (it was very windy that day). But I mentioned this to our guide near the end of our tour and he gave us the rundown, which was much appreciated. Personally I would not book the cave tour again as it was very quick and not really worth it as we didn’t go in any caves. I would have like to spend more time on the island - so may consider staying at the hostel overnight next time. You definitely need to be able to walk a fair distance as the stairs up the cliff are steep. Wear running shoes!

This tour was incredible from start to finish! The boat ride to Berlengas Island was smooth—some waves, but manageable (take nausea meds if you get motion sick). The guides were fantastic, speaking both Portuguese and English. The cave tour on the glass-bottom boat was a highlight—safe, spacious, and stunning. We hiked to the top of the island for amazing views, but if hiking isn’t your thing, you can stay by the beach or grab a drink or lunch at the café. Very family-friendly—I went with my teen, but there were also younger kids enjoying it. Between the clear blue water, dramatic cliffs, and historic fortress, this was one of the best day trips I’ve had in Portugal. Highly recommend!
