Yes but no...
The experience is very good, the catamaran, the visit, the brunch, but what left us stunned is that we were supposed to have a guide in Spanish and they only spoke in English; after complaining to the guide, he told us a few things in Spanish but very little compared to what he spoke to the foreigners. The brunch exceeded our expectations; you practically spend the whole trip there and back snacking and drinking. The views of the coast were wonderful, it's a shame we didn't understand everything the guide was saying.

Excursion not to be missed!
Risk of having too rough a sea… of being seasick.
Staff and brunch were top-notch! Great experience that we highly recommend

A must-do in Albufeira
Fantastic experience! Very well organised, lovely staff, strongly recommended! We were in a big group and chose the brunch/open bar one, it was excellent! Delicious food, plenty of drinks and the boat, Espirito Oceanico 2, absolutely gorgeous!

Fab boat trip
Great experience, nice and plentiful food and drink. Helpful and friendly crew. Small boat trip into cave well worth it. Would recommend.

It is worth it
The excursion is really good, the brunch is high quality and is available to you throughout the entire trip. The crew was extremely friendly. BE CAREFUL if you book with Get Your Guide because they promise you cave admission included, which is a lie. It is a dictionary.

Hidden extra.
Was looking for a boat trip which the family could enjoy. Stumbled upon this through get your guide. The misleading part is you don’t physically get to see the caves unless you pay a €10 per person upgrade upon checking in which I feel is misleading on a cost that was already over €120 I would of rather this stated a boat trip with an additional charge should you wish to not wait till you have booked and paid for only to tell you upon check in it’s an extra. Could not fault the boat, staff or food and drink this was all lovely, we enjoyed the cruise but not the part where we were mislead.

Disappointing experience
Very disappointed by this "Benagil Cave & Brunch" excursion, which does not correspond to the experience sold on Booking.
We had chosen this package, longer than the others, because the ad suggested a real family experience: visit to the Benagil cave and a quiet moment on a sheltered beach with brunch. In reality, none of that.
It is essentially a long round trip by boat. The Benagil cave is not visited: you pass in front of it, you see it from the outside, period. No stop near a sheltered beach: only about twenty minutes at sea for diving.
No real guide despite the advertised multilingual accompaniment: a few words in English and no explanation about the places passed through. Very young crew, music much too loud, and an atmosphere more focused on drinking and dancing than on discovering the coast. I find that it lacks professionalism.
With a child, we found the time interminable. If we had known that it was just a simple party round trip, without a visit to the cave or time on a beach, we would have chosen a much shorter excursion.
Not recommended for families looking for the experience described on Booking.

Nice boat ride and good food
The time to leave was 30 minutes earlier than what my tickets said. Thankfully we arrived early otherwise would have missed our trip. Also, overcharged and waiting for credit.

Very good service of...
Very good service of drinks and food all inclusive. I think it is worth knowing before that by the size of the boat it does not enter the cave, so you have to be paid an extra amount of 10 euros if you want to see through the cave. Excellent tour, excellent weather!
