The hosts were great, really enthusiastic and helpful. The waves were too big to kayak into some of the caves but they made sure we had a great time.

Fantastic boat ride to the starting point of the kayaking. The guide was informative and helpful, gave ideas for other things to do in the area. We went along the coast and into several caves, including Benagil cave, for pictures. Kayaking started off the main boat as it had a ramp, so you sit in the kayak and they push you into the water. Kayaks are the sit-on type so your butt will get wet, plan to wear a swimsuit. We kayaked along the coast as the boat followed us, and then got back on the boat with the ramp - super easy! The boat ride back to the marina was relaxed. A fun activity, highly recommended!

Amazing!!! Sergio was a fantastic guide and instructor. Loads of fun and although I was asked to join the earlier slot as they were expecting poor weather later in the day - the trip did not disappoint. Benagil caves are now entirely off limit/with the boat option you can't really take it in and kayaks are off limit as well but the other hidden gems certainly didn't disappoint!! Absolutely made up for it. One of the best activities I did on this trip - well worth it.
