The highlight of my whole trip to Portugal!

This tour was incredible. It's an intimate small group tour. Our guide Filipe was awesome and gave lots of interesting information. First they take you to explore the amazing Algar Seco, then they take you to go on a boat tour of several different caves along the coast. Filipe even brought us a towel to dry our feet after the boat tour. This is a must do if you're in the Algarve!

I had read a lot of...

I had read a lot of reviews about this excursion. Many people had mentioned their guide Filipe. So our family was super excited when he was our tour guide and he did not disappoint! He had so much information and was very helpful. Part of the terrain was challenging and he was very helpful in showing the places to walk. The views were incredible. The hour and 15 minute boat ride along the coast and through the different caves was breathtaking. We were on a small boat with guides that were expert on the water. The whole tour was one of our favorite things we did while in Portugal. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend

I can’t say enough good things about this trip. Our tour guide Phillip was amazing! He shared some history with us along the way and the cave exploration with him was excellent! He showed us great photo spots and was very helpful not only in taking photos of us but helping us climb the rocks while keeping us safe. My husband and I spent the previous 23.5 hours traveling from Los Angeles to Lagos and were still very jet lagged, but Phillip was great and patient when we needed to rest. I was also very impressed as I watched him pick up trash others left behind. You can tell he was proud of his country and took pride in his work. Then the next leg of the trip was the boat ride to see the caves. Also excellent! Our captain and the guid were great! I am sorry to say I forgot their names, but we heard from Phillip our captain was the youngest one and he grew up in Portugal and followed in his family’s footsteps. I remember he said his girlfriend was a guide on a dolphin boat. Anyway these two guys were super cool, respectful and great sense of humor! We had an excellent time. We left with smiles on our faces and just overall an amazing start to our Portugal vacation. If this is any indication how the rest of the trip is going to go then it’s going to be great! I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Lagos for the first time. I even think our 20 year old kids would have enjoyed it.

Benagil caves

.The drive to the caves was not only comfortable but we also learned about the history of the Algarve along the way added so much to the experience. The rock formations were absolutely breathtaking, and the boat ride was a real highlight. Our captain was skilled and made us feel safe the entire time. Special shoutout to our tour guide, Bruno—he was hilarious and kept everyone entertained (baby shark… if you know, you know!).

Amazing trip to Bengali cave and more!

Wonderful tour! Our guide Filipe was so friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us great recommendations after the tour as well. Walking around some caves and taking pictures was beautiful. We did that first. After we walked, we went by boat to the Bengali cave. The captain was funny and took us to many different sites and caves as well.

A unique tour option

This was a unique tour and a bit of a different way to experience the beautiful cliffs and caves of the Algarve. Felipe was an amazing tour guide and was wonderful with my two children. It was so great to be able to walk into the caves and cliffs as well as see them from the ocean. Would highly recommend this tour!
