About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- H7969IJchrisb0 contributionsGreat trip outGreat trip - although the weather wasn’t the best the captain did a great job getting the key areas of the trip. All staff were great and the guide was informative and funny throughout. Highly recommendWritten 19 January 2025
- moretogosee0 contributionsEven with the large Catamaran you’ll still get into BenagilThe seas were a little “agitated” on our trip but the captain did an awesome job of getting that large boat (catamaran) into a few a few of the caves (including Benagil) and getting us very close to a few rock formations. The views were awesome and the guide commentary very informative. All in all a wonderful tour and highly recommended. Those that might be a little intimidated by the smaller boat tours should not hesitate to take this catamaran tour.Written 15 January 2025
- PlannerDi0 contributionsWonderful close up views of the beautiful rock formations and grottos of the Algarve!This was actually canceled due to high seas, so we were rescheduled on a shorter trip to Ponte de Piedades, which was amazing.Written 14 January 2025
- Bucko0070 contributionsWow what a ride.Made our day, our week. Sergio our captain, was extremely professional. He was able to get us right into the Caves. Even Benagil. Gaoa (John) was informative, funny and a talented guide. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend doing this tour.Written 12 January 2025
- ValerieJBW0 contributionsOk, but disappointed.While it was interesting to visit the caves I was very disappointed that we were not given any information on the geology of the rocks which resulted in their formation, what types of birds that now use these cave , the history of the area in general.etc the only commentary was on the resorts that we passed by and the naming of the beaches. The day was windy, cool and the water choppy with significant swell. Certainly felt safe but there could have been a little more education on the area. I like to learn about the places i visit and hear the local perspective. The ride out to see the dolphins was fairly long. I was VERY glad to see that we were experiencing them in a natural habitat versus a penned event. It may have been a better experience on a nicer day.Written 8 January 2025
- kelrdh70 contributionsAmazing trip! 🇵🇹🌊❤️This was an amazing experience. We really enjoyed it. We learned so much about all the caves. The guide on our trip was the best! Explained everything in detail. We got to take many beautiful pictures. I highly recommend this tour. ❤️🌊🇵🇹Written 5 January 2025
- 50ateebk0 contributionsSunset Tour - CavesViews are amazing, sunset is really nice as it shows on the rocks and coast. It was a speedboat that went inside as much as it could and did 360 turns so everyone could see. I would recommend!Written 15 December 2024
- stephaniemY3951QW0 contributionsBest ExperienceAmazing experience! Highly recommend! Boat got changed the day before due to mechanical issues but the new boat we got ‘vital’ was an upgrade to us. The catamaran was the best! Getting to sit up front on the net was amazing! Sea was rocky and boat was too big to go into the caves but we didn’t mind! The bar on board was great! And the staff were very informative and funny! Best day ever!!!Written 15 December 2024
- reachbgk0 contributionsViews make it worth it.Excellent views. Good communication from vendor. Highly recommend. One thing that could have made it better is for the tour guide to speak over a loud speaker so that everyone can hear what he says. He could have also done a better job at sharing lot more history of the place.Written 8 December 2024
- BoardingPass918190 contributionsOutstandingEverything about this experience was first class. From the welcoming crew, to the immaculate brand new catamaran. The captain went above and beyond at the caves for the best experience. The return trip featured delicious fruit and snacks, as well as a liquor tasting.what a great time. Eddy.Written 22 November 2024
- Connector455110613600 contributionsA lot of fun!The tour was wonderful! The staff were friendly and kind from the moment we checked in to the boat ride itself. This is not a tour for getting a lot of information but rather a little bit of information, a lot of good humor, and amazing and beautiful sights. We saw dolphins, went inside 2 caves including Benagil, and saw the beautiful rock formations. Definitely worth it!Written 18 November 2024
- Sam M0 contributionsAmazing experience!Impressive to see the dolphins in their natural habitat. Also, visiting the caves and Algarve coastline is definitely worth the ride. Totally recommend.Written 13 November 2024
- llamarche19510 contributionsTerrible experienceMy brother and I had a terrible experience! I rained most of the way so we couldn’t see anything. Don’t they check the weather before leaving? Guess not since it would be too costly!!! Felt we definitely got taken in. Plus we were approached to upgrade our ticket for extra euros of course. No offer of a compensation at all. Definitely not acceptable!! Would not recommendWritten 26 October 2024
- nixsav0 contributionsGreat morning onboardHave to say this was an amazing boat trip. Weather was a bit blustery but I suppose it added to the excitement. We paid an extra €8 ea to stay on top deck. Well worth the money as at end noticed the passengers on bottom deck were totally soaked with sick bags ahuoy !!! Heard one passenger say it was the barf level. The captain was both humerous & knowledgeable about the coastline history. Disappointed that we didn’t go into any of the bigger caves but due to the choppy conditions was safer we watched from the deck.Written 24 October 2024
- Tijs M0 contributionsBeautiful and funnyNice experience and the staff was really helpful! The guy who told everything was really funny and kind too. We saw beautiful thing along the coastline!Written 20 October 2024

This was an amazing experience. Parasailing is something I had always wanted to do, but had been too scared to try. I need not have been scared or apprehensive as I felt totally safe in the hands of our captain and crew. Every single take off and landing was perfectly executed onto the soft pad on the boat.
My 14 year old daughter and I did a double flight together and the experience of flying so high in the sky was one neither of us will ever forget.
I would recommend though if you suffer from motion sickness to take a couple of anti sickness tablets in plenty of time before your flight as the sensation of flying did make me feel a little queasy.
It was wonderful that they take photos of each flight and I shall treasure mine, however they charge 20 euros per flight which ends up being very expensive if you are a family of four doing two separate flights. In my opinion they should be charging 20 euros per family not per flight.

Amazing experience!
I was scared to do this first but the moment we met the instructors Jerome & Daison, I knew it would be safe.
They were very professional, eased our nerves and gave us the best experience from start to finish.
They get pictures of you too and you can buy your pictures for €20 after at the desk.
A wonderful experience and we’re so happy we did it!

I went with my family in Oct 2023 however, the activity got cancelled due to bad weather. However, the tour operator was very adaptive and quick to respond, and allowed us to reschedule. The experience was amazing, both the boat trip and flight. There were around 10 people in one boat plus 2 guides. Boat was sometimes fast to create some thrill which was fun. Clear instructions were given and guides were funny and friendly. Once you're up, you have a nice view, very calm until the guides start to shake you for some thrill again which was fun. We also got to dip our legs in the ocean. The guides also took some good photos of us while flying, which you can purchase to be emailed to you. I would 100% recommend this, worth the price, felt safe, and had fun. Thank you Algar Experience.

Booked this activity with the impression we would be out for a significant amount of time, especially with how much we paid for it (came to be ~£90 for two adults).
We arrived and checked in, and shortly after were taken to the boat.
On this occasion, there were only 3 people in the group (including myself and my partner).
We knew this would mean the activity would be shorter, however it only ended up lasting around 20 minutes, spending around 5 minutes (if that) actually in the air.
We also got the impression that because it was the last trip of the day, the staff taking us wanted to make it quick and clock off, which is disappointing.
Being on the boat and in the air was great fun, but for the price we paid we were highly let down by the quality and duration of our trip. Maybe better to book earlier in the day.
Also photos at the end were €20, a bit of a kick in the teeth after paying nearly £100 for a lacklustre activity. Photos were not that good either.

Correct and smooth organization. With a small group in a feisty boat each take turns (in pairs) in the air. Guidance was provided by two friendly professional guys. Very much enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean. Although the price for the flight itself is correct, the optional photos to be taken are very expensive. The guides take a series of photos during the trip that you can have delivered for 20 euros per WeTransfer. This is very expensive for something that has almost no cost and is disproportionate to the price of the flight. Furthermore, however, very fine and definitely recommended. - - -

We were running late but the guys were nice enough to wait for us. I was there with my sister and nieces and we were very excited bit nervous at the same time as 2 of us were scared of height and unable to swim.
The two guys were so professional and makes you feel completely at ease. The instruction were easy and straight forward and music on board.
The views at the top was amazing! It was so peaceful up there. Everyone thorough enjoyed it, my 6yrs old niece said she would go 8 times.
I must say, it was the best experience we had out there. The other family on the boat was nice enough to take a video of us as the 5 of us all had to go together which was brilliant.
Please do not hesitate if interested you surely won't regret it. A big thanks to the two guys for making it an enjoyable experience.

This was one of the highlights of our holiday. The crew run such a professional, safe, expertly executed experience, but it's a fun filled action packed adventure. Party music started playing leaving the marina, which set the tone for fun and thrills. The guys handled the boat brilliantly, giving us all a surprise splash here and there, causing squeals galore! The actual parasailing was incredible. The view and feeling of floating above everything was wonderful. We loved it! The landing back on the boat was perfectly executed every time. Would recommend to anyone. The trip and the photos package is good value for money.

I have to be honest and say that as my wife and I are both in our mid sixties, we were wondering if we had been a little reckless in booking this trip. But the Captain and his assistant were first class, reassured us all of the way and made sure that we had wonderfully smooth take offs and landings. I can highly recommend this company for there organisation, professionalism and attention to safety, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Thank you!

We were initially scheduled for Tues but gladly moved to Wed when offered it due to adverse sea and wind conditions, so don’t be disappointed by only booking for the last day of your holiday…allow for the weather to cause changes. We all absolutely loved it. Very professionally run, lovely boat and super fun in the sky. There were 4 of us…adult and 3 kids so the clever lads put two of the kids up with me and again with the older teen…so the younger kids got to go twice! Absolutely made their day. Thanks Algarexperience see you next year.
