Meet at the Portimão pier and prepare for an unforgettable adventure. After a brief and important safety briefing, board the agile RIB boat, ready to explore the wonders of the Algarve coast. As the boat sails along, you will be treated to spectacular views of the Fort of Santa Catarina, an imposing coastal sentinel, and the castle of Ferragudo, which seems to emerge from a fairytale setting. Along the way, a picturesque fishing village completes the idyllic picture, offering an authentic glimpse of traditional seaside life.

Absolutely loved the experience with Atlantis Tour! The guide was so funny and made the experience a 10/10.
This was a really good trip. around £13 per person for a 90 minute trip out on a speedboat along the beautiful Algarve coast. We had great fun. I looked carefully at the reviews before booking - in particular at the negative ones... So hopefully just to help out others who might read them: - Comment about long hair blowing in a customer face and staff doing nothing about it. I had the same experience. I spoke to the lady who then tied up her hair - because we are grown ups. - Disappointment about sea conditions making it dangerous to go in caves. I'm sorry - what - you are disappointed and negatively scoring this trip because they seek to keep customer safe... I understand disappointment but this is mad - especially if you are told, offered a refund or to take the trip without going into the caves! - Not turning up on time and then being disappointed, not checking where the site is in advance - grow up - Dropping your phone in the water - really the tour operators fault? - In spite of what one of the reviews said, we found the guide's talk to be interesting and fun - granted, we didn't come away with full knowledge of the geological formation of the cliffs... Overall we had a great experience with this tour operator and I think it was probably the best value for money thing that we did in our week away. Emanuello was a great guide with a mix of interesting facts and just a bit of fun (yes - that rock does look like an elephant!). The boat was not that crowded or uncomfortable despite being fully loaded and the speed was very much appropriate and really good fun. We had four teenage children with us and they also really enjoyed the experience. 5 stars all the way from us. Thank you.
Booked a boat trip around the caves as a last minute idea to fill the day. Was great value for money and is a great way to fill a morning or an afternoon. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and was really engaging with the customers. The caves were amazing and the coastline was fantastic. After the trip we went on to a restaurant that is part of the same company running the boat tours the food was great and really enjoyed it. We have booked to come to Portugal next year and will be booking the boat tour again.
Instructions to meeting place could have been clearer, but the boat trip was fun, fast, and informative, as advertised. Friendly guides
It was so easy to book and everything was made so simple for us once we got there, the tour was great and the guides were really friendly. Highly recommend and worth the money

The tour of almost an hour and a half feels very long thanks to the engaging explanation from the guides and the captain's navigation; it is worth taking the excursion, the caves, the views, and everything around are beautiful.
Estimada Rocío, Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutó del recorrido y que las explicaciones de nuestros guías, junto con la navegación del capitán, hicieron que el paseo fuera tan ameno. También nos hace muy felices saber que las cuevas, los paisajes y la belleza de la costa del Algarve hicieron que la excursión mereciera la pena. Fue un placer recibirla a bordo, y esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente para otra aventura inolvidable. Un cordial saludo, El equipo de Atlantis Tours
The speedboat tour was so much fun! The guides had a fantastic attitude and made sure everyone was engaged throughout the experience. They shared lots of interesting facts along the way, making the tour both exciting and informative. I highly recommend it!
Dear Laura, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had so much fun on our speedboat tour. It’s fantastic to know that our crew’s enthusiasm and informative commentary helped make the experience both exciting and memorable. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. It was a pleasure welcoming you on board, and we hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventure along the Algarve coast. Warm regards, The Atlantis Tours Team
The boat tour was good, but the boarding process was extremely disorganized and cumbersome. We had to stand in the heat for over 30 minutes with life jackets on. No shade! That part was horrible!
Dear Maria, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the boat tour itself, but we're sorry to learn that the boarding process did not meet your expectations. During busy periods, boarding can occasionally take a little longer than anticipated as we carefully organise departures and ensure that all passengers are safely checked in before leaving the marina. We understand that waiting in the heat can be uncomfortable, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Your comments are very valuable to us and will be shared with our team as we continue looking for ways to improve the overall guest experience. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again in the future and provide an even smoother experience from start to finish. Warm regards, The Atlantis Tours Team
Very pleasant experience. We had a guide named Pedro, who was very entertaining. Together with Captain George, they make a perfect tandem.
Estimado Ramón, Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutó de un recorrido tan ameno y divertido. Pedro y el capitán George estarán encantados de saber que su profesionalidad y buen humor hicieron que el tour fuera aún más especial para usted. Fue un placer recibirle a bordo, y esperamos volver a darle la bienvenida muy pronto para otra aventura inolvidable por la costa del Algarve. Un cordial saludo, El equipo de Atlantis Tours
