Great Tour! - We did the 12n tour, not sunrise but I couldn’t find sunrise as an option. SO happy we did this tour. The guides were awesome. Friendly, funny and they took us to some really great sea caves that we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own. Felt very safe in the boat. All in all a 10 out of 10 experience!!

Lots to see in a short time. - Although it was not really sunrise, it was nice to do earlier in the day before the wind picked up. Stopped at many interesting caves along the way. The skipper was a skilled driver, driving further into each than I thought possible. Worth thee relatively short trip. Very nice!

Incredible - Experience of 10!! The tour has been incredible, the landscape is spectacular and Guilherme has been very kind, attentive and explained everything to us very well. The caves we have seen are beautiful, with turquoise water and Guilherme has stopped long enough for us to take photos, see it calmly and appreciate all the details. In addition, he has helped us a lot and given us recommendations for eating and visiting areas, lovely!! We will repeat without hesitation!!

Excellence in Portimao - The crew and staff of Atlantis Tours deserve their 5 stars from me today. From the communication and booking preparation, their attention to safety and order, and the captain and crew/guides to ensure that we enjoy every moment of the cruise. Good Job! Obrigado!

Very plesant and amazed kids - Visited many different sea caves, too bad it was a bit rough at sea and couldn't enter them all. Nevertheless despite the forecast the captain took us into the Benagil cave - we were lucky. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Guide was knowledgeable with many tips for tourists and added some funny bits on top. Kids were amazed the most right from the start and 90 minutes is just right for them.
