I saw this activity on Tripadvisor because of the great reviews and I’m adding another great review because me and my friends had a fabulous time. Fantastic value for money. The caves were stunning (though I can imagine they get very busy in the peak of summer). Drinks were free and there was a range of soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Really friendly crew and made everyone feel comfortable. Bring suncream and a towel if you want to swim in the sea. Great activity with amazing views. Highly recommend. Also the staff had amazing English (as do many people in Portugal!) Thanks for a great time 😊

We take great pride in ensuring every guest feels comfortable and well looked after throughout the experience. Your kind words about our crew's English and friendliness mean the world to us! We hope to welcome you back on board again soon for another unforgettable Algarve adventure! Condor de Vilamoura
Can’t rate highly enough . The crews knowledge of the local landmarks and friendliness was impeccable . They helped my friends dad on and off boat to allow him to experience the caves . Would definately go again when we return to Portugal 🇵🇹
Fantastic day out. Crew on board were super. We had a ball. The trip over to the caves was outstanding and swimming off the boat was great. I would highly recommend the Codor team.
Found the trip on TripAdvisor during a stay in Olhas De Agua, however start time of the trip was unclear, so we drove to Vilamoura, and located the sales hut in the marina. The lady that served us was very pleasant and knowledgable about all of the trips. We were three adults and my mother-in-law at 81 had a reduced price, which wasn’t available on trip advisor. So it was €32 (£28) for adults and €25 (£22) for seniors. The trip leave the harbour round by the Tivoli Marina hotel, asked to be there 30 mins before we set sail. The boats capacity is 80, but will sail with at least half. We were around 50 in total which was a nice number with lots of room to move around. The trip was an amazing, v.clean, toilets and bar area. Soft drinks (€3), coffee (€1.70), aperol spritz (€8), wine (€3). We sailed up to the Bengali caves with the helpful staff pointing out areas and beaches, we then had a wonderful rib ride over and around the caves which were wonderful and the opportunity for a swim in the sea, which wasn’t cold as expected. At this time of year we had wonderful weather, and the sun was on its way down as returned at 6pm. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Parking was free and close by at the back of the marina, with plenty of places for food and drinks. Much better to do this longer trip, than pay the same for very short trips to the caves. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. The staff were experts, very caring and supportive helping mum-in-law onto the rib and into and out of the sea as she swam as well. They were all brilliant 🤩
Staff was super friendly and informative, trip was beautiful and we got the to see the caves nearby. Definetly worth the money 👍
Well organised trip on a beautiful traditional ship. There is a bar to buy drinks and snacks. An optional dinghy trip to the Galé caves and swim in the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed it
Nothing very exceptional. There was chance to visit the caves but dinghy transport not good to access
good lovely crew really helpful as one of the party had reduced mobility listed the various places of interest along the coastline
Fabulous trip. Excellent value for money. Wasn’t super loud music and the staff were really friendly. The boat is spacious and clean. Trip is well run. We had a swim off the boat and saw the caves. Would highly recommend!
Relaxing boat ride and got a small boat to go through the caves and swimming in sea available Crew were great. Even had homemade cookies. Beautiful boat
