The trip was really nice. Our guide Raphael was super cool, telling us jokes and interesting fun facts during the entire trip. The only negative part about this tour is that you can't get off at the Benagil caves, but it does make sense because of the strong waves at time. If you desire to do so, renting a kayak there might be a better idea for you. However, the boat tour takes you to a lot of things from Portimao to the Benagil caves, things fhat you probably won't have time to see by kayak. Also, for me the guide itself made the tour directly worth it. I would recommend for sure!

Just a great day out on the water to see the caves & I would highly recommend these tours. It was easy to book. The company’s communication before hand regarding time to meet, where to meet, what to wear, etc was excellent & our captain was incredible experienced

The boat cave trip was really amazing and 100% worth it. Highly recommended :-)) our tour guide Paul is funny and interesting. Thank you for this trip!

Excellent. The guide was nice and very knowledgeable. He also introduced us nearby restaurants.

The cave tours were so worthwhile. It was beautiful and our guide, Rafa, was fabulous
