Tour to remember - Beautiful tour of the Algarve coast, passing through several beaches, some very well known and others only accessible by boat, to the caves of Benagil, entering the cave. On the return, there was a small stop for diving. The boat was quiet and relatively small. The animator was friendly and familiar with the region. The tour includes a drink and lasts about 4 hours.

Beautiful day out and a great way to see the Algarve coastline! - Such an amazing trip down the beautiful Algarve coastline! Would highly recommend. We were greeted by very friendly crew who helped my mum into the boat in her wheelchair. Had a lovely complimentary glass on wine and got to go for a swim! Crew were very informative about all the beaches and coves down the coast. One thing to note there is quite a big step down to the toilet and then another threshold you have to step over it get to the toilet. We managed it and I’m sure the crew would have helped had there not been family members on hand. We didn’t expect the toilet to be completely accessible as it’s on a boat but just something to keep in mind if you use a wheelchair!

Great value boat trip to get you out on the water and see the caves close up! - A highlight of our holiday! Booking was easy and the trip was good value. we arrived early at the marina. A few boats were booked and we missed the call for our departure, but the captain rang me and we boarded with his help. Nice touch, thanks! The boat was clean and in good condition. There were about 25 people on board and the guides were very helpful, friendly, attentive and told us about the places that we were passing. Andre was a great guide and looked after us very well. The captain was very skillful and got us into the caves to see the main features. It was a very good excursion, I would definitely recommend it.

Amazing caves - long trip - The caves are amazing well worth visiting. But it is quite a long trip which would have been made better by having a more engaging crew. There was no safety briefing at all. There was the beautiful coastline to see on the way there culminating in the amazing Benagil caves at the end of the first leg - the driver got as close as he could which was great. Got loads of photos. That took 2 hours. The way back was less engaging. There was only 5 minutes to swim and we didn’t see any dolphins. It’s not guaranteed but the crew didn’t mention it. They didn’t really say anything on the way back. This took two hours. So in short it was worth it for the viewing of the caves but it felt more like a trip to a destination rather than an experience.

Very disappointing - Thought this was a proper Catamaran boat ( with sails and sunbathering areas) that I had booked. Was technically a Catamaran as had 2 hulls but actually a glorified “ferry” with plastic seats and too big to go into the caves properly. Wouldn’t recommend
