What people are saying about Quarteira

This trip is a no brainer, it was 3 hrs of joy. Health & Safety prevented us from going in the caves, but later we all had an opportunity to jump/dive in the deep water for around 30 minutes, with a safety boat close by. There was lots on information given by the crew as we sailed along the coast.

not to be missed, really great staff and really very nice and the ride and just great, barely left the port we come face to face with a group of dolphins who stayed about twenty minutes next to us, then the visit really incredible caves we even had some cave visits as a bonus GREAT I recommend

Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend :)
