We booked the activity online a day before and it was a smooth booking. We arrived at the check in area early and was seated on the boat by pass 3PM (our chose activity time). The guides were super nice and was always telling us what we are seeing. It was great to see the view of the coast from the sea. It was too bad we were not able to enter the Benagil caves and see dolphins (which they do not guarantee of course). Nonetheless, we had a great time and enjoyed it. PS. Bring jacket because it can be cold especially if you're doing this before summer.

Just absolute stunning places to explore! It was such a pleasure having Eduardo there to show us nature's beauty and hidden treasures with so much enthusiasm and knowledge about the area. I'd definitely recommend this trip, you won't regret it!

Alex is a great, friendly and personable tour guide that knows a lot about the region. Best views I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend.
