    I was really impressed with the boat captain. I’ve been around boats my whole life and don’t know many that could back it into a cave with waves like that. I felt very safe the whole time and our guide was funny and informative. I would definitely recommend!

    Our group of 6 adults really enjoyed the trip along the coast. The guide had a lot of useful and fun information for us. The scenery was lovely and the caves we visited were interesting. We have s much more detailed view of the area than we did before the boat trip.

    The tour was good, but the boat was too big to enter some of the caves that other smaller and colorful boats did. Also the location was very far, for people coming first time in Pontimao is very difficult to find the way to the marina and the buses do not come as per the posted schedule. Lot of tours started from the naval club, very close to village center. This info must be added in the description that the location of the activity is 1 hour walk from city center and public transport sucks
