- saffrondee0 contributionsSimple beautiful!Despite the sea being a bit rough, this was a wonderful experience. The caves were beautiful, the views were incredible and the host was simply amazing. He kept us all entertained, relaxed and provided in depth details throughout the journey. Glad I took the chance to go even though the boat was quite rocky, it was enjoyable regardless. Highly recommended!Written 23 February 2025

- Lalula0 contributionsWonderful 🥰The trip was magical! So much overwhelming natural beauty. The staff was wonderful, professional and entertaining and the ship was clean and comfortable. Great experience for the money 😍Written 17 February 2025
- Journey6053890 contributionsLovelyFriendly crew, lovely tour of the coast and caves. Definitely a very pleasant trip and watching the water and sun on the sea on the return trip was lovelyWritten 12 February 2025
- davehJ7288CH0 contributionsGreat trip, highly recommend.This is an excellent boat with a more than capable crew. Jonathan is an excellent skipper & managed to get us close to the caves. I still felt safe & was confident that he knew what he was doing. I actually went down to the marina the day after. To do this trip again but it started to drizzle & I knew the boat would be cold in that sort of weather. I hadn’t booked anything as I know the boat won’t be full at this time of year. So only because of the poor weather I decided not to bother for a second time because I wanted to use it to top up my tan & there wasn’t any sunWritten 7 February 2025
- 972sophiaf0 contributionsBeautiful views great tripThe views were absolutely amazing. Bit of wind so still bring a jacket and stuff. The staff made the tour brilliant they were full of knowledge about each part and every one of them were also super friendly and nice !! Highly recommend, this was our favourite part of the trip. They also stopped for people to have a quick swim😊 the boat was a lovely size. We paid €8 each at the check in and got wristbands where we were able to go up to the top part of the boat and also got a complimentary drink and some at the end. It was lovely and spacious we could still move freely between the top and bottom as we wished. They managed to get the boat right into the caves so we could see it all so close upWritten 3 February 2025
- richardsC5961PL0 contributionsAlgarve ExtraordinareBeautiful day on the water. Boat ride was very comfortable with lot of options for seating.. Captain Johnathan and his crew were very friendly and took initiative to communicate with all passengers giving us lots on information on the history and area. Everyone in our group had a great time. In addition, if you're looking for a place to eat at the Marina, lots of food choices 👍Written 24 January 2025
- MattEyreCllr0 contributionsA brilliant afternoonA brilliant afternoon out on the seas, with a delicious Portuguese Buffet paired with Portuguese spirits, very friendly guides and a speed boat trip in to see one of the caves. We were lucky to have calm seas making for a very relaxing trip, and even spotted some sharks during the trip. A wonderful experience that we would highly recommend!Written 22 January 2025
- 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

This was a great experience, the boats only have 12 spots and you are say jockey seat position giving you good stability and surprisingly comfortable seating . We departed on time and the boat travels quickly out to look for dolphins , we were lucky enough to see common dolphins and then we headed back along the coastline exploring caves - in all it was a little over 2 hours Ricky was our Captain and he was knowledgeable and helpful. We felt very safe and had a wonderful time
