10/10 even with „only“ 20 degree Water - Everybody has enough space on the Boat. The Crew is entertaining and helpful. Highlight was the awesome BBQ at an enclosed Beach😎

Great day outdoor! - Fantastic day spent out in the sea on journey along the coast of Algavre. Great boat crew keeping all the passengers happy during the trip. Picnic on the beach was great and fun with very tasty food and lots of cold wine. Would really recommend the trip to anybody, great idea for a day out, just watch the weather forecast and bring a lot of sun protection.
Extra bonus: swim from the catamaran to the beach ;)
Once again BIG THANK YOU to all the crew!

Highly Recommend - The tour was amazing and the crew was very nice and accommodating! There were so many sites to see just by pushing through on the boat. I would most definitely go tour with this crew again!

Perfect day 🤍 - It was one of the best tours we took. We saw lots of caves and what we saw is still described. To improve the whole beach just for us, super accessible staff and super good and fun people. Best barbecue, excellent food and they even serve champagne at the end on the return trip. What more to ask for? A perfect day 🥰

Stunning Views! Fun Filled Day! - This was an awesome tour. The Catamaran was very relaxing and fun. The views were stunning. The skipper was able to get us inside the Benagil Caves to get a really good view of the rock formations. The stop at the beach for the afternoon BBQ was amazing!! We had the option of swimming from the boat to the beach and back afterwards. Which I highly recommend as the water is very refreshing and crystal blue. Lots of time to relax, swim, eat, drink and explore the beach. The tour guides were very friendly, hardworking, helpful and fun!! They took the time to show my friend and I how to properly eat the Sardines, which were quite delicious! The entire experience was very fun and memorable. I would highly recommend and would definitely go again! Thank you for a great experience!!

Super cruising in Albufeira - A really nice cruising with a crew of the highest class. Guiding, the way they treated us guests and the BBQ on the beach, just top.
One important thing to improve, all locks on the lifevests did not work as they are supposed to do.

Catamaran Cruise Albufeira Caves - We had a great day aboard the Mara cruising along the coastline and visiting many beautiful beaches and caves. The crew were absolutely fantastic and did their best to ensure everyone had a great time. The BBQ on the beach was terrific with quinine for every palate. My issue with the cruise was the number of people on board and unfortunately the number of people who got seasick due to the waves.

BEAUTIFUL CATAMARAN RIDE - Beautiful day, long ride with the catamaran (because what we didn't know, once we got on board, was that the Bénagil caves were no longer possible, following bad weather and incidents), picnic original on a beach, crew in hand, pleasant. A good time spent along these cliffs with their many caves

Basic Catamaran Cruise - We originally booked the Beach BBQ Benagil Cave tour for a Saturday but were informed that they did not have staff to run it on that day so we moved our tour to Friday. No problem whatsoever. The catamaran was nice and the crew were very good. What was interesting and maybe we did not realize it but all drinks and snacks were not free on the boat. I have never been on a day cruise where we had to purchase drinks and snacks onboard. Therefore we did not partake. The cruise was very slow going, we didn't move very fast along the water so didn't get that exhilarating feeling of cruising. The caves were ok, Benagil cave was a mass of kayakers so kind of detracted from the beauty of it. The beach where the BBQ was wasn't the greatest beach, the water wasn't very clean and we shared the beach with another tour group. The food was ok nothing over the top, plain and basic. We were offered free drinks at that point though. Then it felt like we were biding our time on the beach until we got back on the catamaran to return to the marina. Almost felt like a long and drawn out day with not much reward. Wish there was more commentary and more insight into the caves.
