Nice boat cruise on coast - Everything on the boat was great the trip was wonderful. However could not really see the caves very well and it was too windy to be able to paddle board. So really just a boat trip along the coast.

Great afternoon with Pedro and his crew on the catamaran. - We had a great afternoon with Discover Tours. Pedro and his crew were so friendly and informative about the surrounding cliffs. An absolute must if you are in the algarve. We had great fun with the paddle boards when we anchored and saw a beautiful sunset on our sail back to Portimão. Drinks were reasonable on board as well. One thing we didn’t bring was a jacket so we were a little cold on the sail back as it was the evening.

Beautiful scenery and fabulous crew. Not to be missed. - You just can’t see the beauty of the cliffs from land. You have to take a boat and you will not be disappointed. It was exquisite.

Great time to see the coastline - Excellent trip to see the coastline and have a relaxing time on the ocean. If you’re looking to go inside Benagil Cave, then this isn’t the trip for you because of obvious size of the catamaran. For this, you’ll have to check out other tours that have smaller boats. But if you’re looking for comfort, space, and ability to move around, then this is for you! Highly recommended!

Outing Catamaran Hyper nice - Very large boat, outing with friends super nice. Despite a little rough sea and wind we were able to take advantage to swim. As a bonus we saw dolphins on our way back to port.

Nice evening trip - Friendly staff. Beautiful views. Swimming in the sea was nice. Usually these trips are shorter than they say. This one was longer.

Setback - Fun catamaran trip with beautiful views of the rocky coast from the sea. However, we just booked a catamaran trip to enjoy a sailing trip in peace. Instead, the entire trip was sailed on the pounding engine because there was a defect on the mast and no sails were raised, an employee said. That could have been reported by the Owner vd catamaran in advance, then we could have booked another shipowner. Nevertheless 3.5 hours sailed on a motorboat at 42,00 euros per person. The "Guide" occasionally talks about the environment through a microphone. However, this is not understood on the front section (trampolines) of the catamaran where most people are located, because the speakers are only under the roof in the middle section. The other 4 crew members hardly interfere with the tourists so no interaction takes place. All in all a nice boat trip in terms of views but we did not get what we paid for.
