Fun on board - It was a super fun excursion, they sat the children in front and Daniela interacted a lot with them and with us. The brilliant Captain Pedro also stopped a lot inside the caves. When sailing it was super fast and we were able to enjoy it a lot. Recommended 💯 Olga

Fantastic experience with a pet-friendly treat - Excellent trip, with pleasant conversation and good mood, lots of adrenaline and a unique view. Then they win our hearts by being pet friendly with the right to a special life vest for our big dogs 😁 Experience that everyone should try at least once Thank you Captain Nemo 🙌

What a ride! - Thanks to Daniela and Sarah our guides and the wonderful,good looking Skipper whose name I forget, apologies. This was a wonderful ride, thanks to Daniela expertise as a marine biologist, we learnt a lot. Treasure caves to be conserved, please listen to our experts. I was apprehensive of water, I had no fear, no sickness and wanted more at the end - applies to my whole family. Many thanks again. One thing though which bothered us when we left. We were unsure whether to tip these three superb riders, please put a comment on this, as we were not sure of implications it might have posed.

A very nice little cruise - Small group boat cruise. A big thank you to Daniela, our multilingual guide who is very interesting and has a lot of humor as well as to Juan, our pilot. You have superb views of the different beaches, caves and cliffs of the coast between Portimao and Marinha beach - Unesco Heritage. To do.

Must see when in the neighborhood!! - Must see when you are in Ferragudo! We even were so lucky to spot a few dolphins around our boat. Great Captain, excellent recommendations for restaurants (Sueste is the place to be for the best fish ever!!) The boat was great and fast if it needed to be. We were with a group of six friends and we had a great time!!

I was unsure, so glad I went! - What an excellent experience! I almost decided not the go… it was raining very hard when we were supposed to leave, but the knowledgeable captains (Pedro and Joao) were amazing! They knew to wait it out, and the sun came out for a a couple hours and they watched the clouds to return us to port just as it started to rain again. Their little white dog, Pipoca (“popcorn”) was as fun to watch hopping around the boat as the majestic caves. I learned a lot about the landscape, how the caves are formed, as well as the local culture. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

Cheating - Because of the wind that day, I spoke with them and we agreed that the tour would be cancelled. They told me many times that I would get a full refund and that it would take 7-10 days. But after more than 2 weeks, I never got the refund. Beware!
