Catamaran Mara Caves, Swim & Food

Great views of the cliffs on a nice catamaran with an amazing captain and crew, a stop at a cove for a swim and drinks and snacks on board - I recommend :)

A lovely 4-hour trip. Attentive and professional crew. Lunch included. A surprisingly healthy offer:fresh chicken and salad wrap, fresh salad and melon slices, 2 drinks. Sea swim was fun and refreshing. Good music and vibe.

Captain and crew were friendly, courteous and polite

Beautiful day out.Absolutely loved it. All staff were super friendly, and meeting point was easy to find.The lunch served was delicious and scenery stunning. What’s not to love about this ? We would definitely recommend if you’re coming to the Algarve 😊☀️

This experience was great and I would do it again! The food on board was great. I’m glad we also had the opportunity to dock the boat and get off to go swimming in the ocean. It was a bit chilly for me personally but nonetheless a great day and experience

We had a very good time. The team was top-notch, very attentive, and very friendly.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had such a great time from start to finish. The crew were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they took great care of us throughout the trip, always checking that everything was okay. We loved learning about the different places along the way. The free food and drinks were a lovely bonus, and the music created such a fun and lively atmosphere. The boat was not overcrowded, so we had plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. We were extremely impressed and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Portugal. We loved every minute of it!

Excellent sea trip with a top-notch crew! We really had a good time, I recommend this activity to you.

Crew at the agency near the dock and on board were not the most polite. We came a few minutes before we were supposed to leave and we got some passive aggressive comments about how they know we’re are “princesses” but the entire boat was waiting for us. It was said in such a rude and mockery tone. When we were taken to the loading dock we didn’t know which of the two boats to get on and one of the crew members commented “how do u not know which boat to get on?”. Over not bad of an excursion but the manners of the crew on boat and agency could be nicer.

The directions to check onto the boat were excellent. The staff in the office were great as was the owner. Onboard, the guides were great and knowledgable. We stopped just the once off-shore. Having been on a few of thse kinds of trips before we were hoping to view dolphines but the waters probably meant it was to choppy. During our stop people were advised as to whether they should go in for a swim taking into consideration thir swimming strengths. BEWARE!!!! It is veery cold and trying to get back onto the boat at the back was a struggle as the laddrs didn't go into the water and there was nothing to grip hold of. I had to swim to the ring and get pulled up. Onto the food. The chicken wrap was pre wrapped so if you do not like the mix of veg & mayo then that needs to be scraped off however, it was very tasty as was the salad box. Drinks were easy to come by, however we were waiting until near the end for our 2nd drink but didn't gt it as the guys were too busy. It was a great experience but unfortunately locationwise, not enough places to visit and there was a huge queue of boats trying to get into the cave to view. The catamaran did not seem overcrowded and though at times trying to get to the toilet meant climing over people and a couple of times falling over, these things are always going to happen with random waves. I would say it was worth the money especially as you are on holiday, the time on board was just right (4 hours) and the staff were excellent. Please remember to have money for tips. We didn't have any as our stuff was locked away but they were ok about that too.
