Great trip - Great trip. Staff were really friendly. Even though the sea was rough it was good fun. Sadly couldn't get off and swim but the caves were impressive.

Relaxing trip exploring the beautiful coastline of the Algarve - This experience was absolutely perfect and we are so glad we did it. We paid an extra €10 each and sat on the top deck of the catamaran which was so worth it. We had uninterrupted views and a couple of glasses of champagne. The views of the coastline were stunning and the tour guide was fantastic in his knowledge of the coast of the algarve. The Benagil Cave was fantastic.. The captain was able to put the boat into the cave which was impressive, this allowed us to take photos. Honestly we loved it and are so glad we did it.

Caves & Coastlines, Benagil Caves - Amazing!! 🥰 - This is an amazing trip & well worth if, the Caves & Coastlines is beautiful. It was a really nice weather day, so a nice breeze to keep you cool. The Tour Guide was very knowledgeable about Portugal, the Caves & Coastline, very interesting & also handsome & modest (lol, well that’s what he tells us anyway), he’s very funny & makes the trip. Only chatting on the journey out, quiet & some music on the way back. Handy to have toilet & Beer on board. A nice build up to the Benagil Caves which are beautiful - AMAZING!!! 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice trip, Great staff - We were traveling with the semirigid rubber powerboat. We were still looking for dolphins after the caves. The boat touched a large piece of wood and suffered damage to the steering. The crew brought us all safely back to port. The company wanted to refund the entire price without any discussions, which we did not want to accept as the trip to the caves was very nice. We paid 60% of our team, which they only accepted with some discussions. Great company, very nice, courteous staff. We would love to come back.

Nice coastline, yes, but the host is the real experience! - Starting off on a bad note, telling the prices for this cruise range from 28,90€, but there were no prices under 45€. And then we are given the option to upgrade our tickets, given access to the upper deck, for another 10€. Suffering from #fomo we took the upgrade. The boat was really nice and with plenty of room for everybody. It took us out from the harbor and out to sea, and then the host started speaking: talk about entertainer! It was pure joy listening to him, even more so than looking at the coastline :) Halfway through the cruise the captain took us a bit further off shore where all who wanted could take a swim in the cold Atlantic Ocean. Very nice. The trip back was quiet and nice also, in spite of the host staying silent, and left us by ourselves, he he.

Recommended excursion - Good excursion to do with babies, children and seniors as it has a shaded area. He left with a slight delay. Despite being a large ship, the captain was able to enter Benagil Cave (without getting off the ship) as weather conditions permitted. Friendly and attentive staff. Note that if you move from Spain the time change. Near the meeting place there is a parking lot where for about 4€ you can leave the car during the excursion.

Disappointing ride - First they were late , and they rush us on the way back. They said weather not good for swimming, but weather was good. We didn’t get to the beach. Other people were on the beach, Kids and us were very disappointing.
