A 10/10 experience

Had a fabulous experience with the boat tours covering 6-7 Algarve wonders followed by the iconic Benagil caves, which was the finale. The commentary by Renan, kept the boat tours lively and entertaining, while Domi, our boat sailor, didn’t fear to take the boat right inside the dark caves through tiny passages. Will definitely recommend Setima Onda!! 👍🏼 Pro tip: Book first trip at 8 am for that gorgeous soft sun & beautiful pictures. 🙌🏼
