Great 2 hours spent
A really good trip if you don‘t want to spend all day. Enjoyed sceneries, but it would have been nice if the crew would have given more background info. Overall well worth the money and the time.

Benagil Cave Tour
Very interesting and worthwhile, fun. Only complaint was locating the meeting point. Directions on voucher were inaccurate causing us to arrive late and barely make the trip.

For everyone who loves nature and adventure, please do not forget to try this amazing experience! Me and my sister were in the front of the boat, so we had the best view and the best amount of adrenaline! The capitan and the tourist guide were very funny and profissionals! Thank you so much for this 1h30 of freedom 😄

Enjoyable activity
All staff were professional while also being friendly and helpful. Coats and lifejackets supplied. Maximum party of 12, boat felt very secure as it skimmed through the water. Caves are interesting and the smaller boat is able to sail into many of them. Averagely priced for the area at €30pp for 90 minutes which is alright for an individual but would make it an expensive family activity. Glad we went on this activity.

WOW
We were staying in Carvoeiro. We booked this tour and they collected us by car and took us to Portimio for this trip. It was one of the highlights of our stay. We went in all the caves along the coast on an iinfatable boat with seats like motorbike. We saw all the cavs and then it was fast ride back which was exciting as well. The caves are not to be missed and this friendly team of men who were very safety aware are the ones to go with. Very fair price. Also the boat will only take 12 which we liked. Book well in advance as they get busy
