Really enjoyable day out. Skipper and guide were both really friendly and knowledgeable. We were a family of three including 12 year old and they had a 3 person kayak there for us which was nice.
Highly recommend this trip! A real genuine feel to the boat. Fabio & Alex were super...knowledgeable, fun and relaxed but also safety conscious. Kayaking around the caves was lovely. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.
I honestly can not recommend this tour enough. Alex and Pedro are the absolute best. Their kind and supportive attitude towards making this adventure the most it can be should be a credit to the wonderful nation that is Portugal. We were a group of four, two adults, a 17yr old and a 6yr old. The boat holds a maximum of 16 and we sat on deck soaking up the sun and listening intently to Pedros history of the area and culture of the algarve. Once we reached our destination it was time for kayaks. Two people per or a three if needed. We safely transferred from boat to sea kayak with help from the crew and then the adventure truly began. We kayaked from the boat through cave arch after cave arch, always an outstanding view on the other side. Myself and my 6yr old, both giggling with the excitement and exhilaration of it all. Following Pedro and the other adventurers all the while enjoying the warm summer weather safely wrapped up in our life jackets. This tour is an absolute 10/10 and worth every penny. Drinks are available onboard, bags and possession can be stored safely in the hold. They even sell waterproof phone cases should you need one for some of the most amazing photographers that you simply cannot get from anywhere else than the sea. Don’t just take the tours that float you near to the caves. Get in the kayaks and take yourself on a truly remarkable adventure. Worth every euro.
This was a great experience! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Throughly enjoyable tour, Alex was a lovely Captain, but Fabio was genuinely the most authentic and knowledgeable Tour Guide you could hope to meet. His love for his home town of Alvor is clear to see. I would highly recommend this tour
Fantastic trip. Caves were stunning. Excellent guide Alex, felt really safe kayaking through the caves. Thankyou to Alex and his colleague ⭐️
Fantastic trip. Two great guides. Lovely relaxed atmosphere on the boat. Kayaking through the caves was a great experience. Would thoroughly recommend.
As a family of three with an 8 year old, we had a great time! Alex and Fabio were informative and friendly guides and we felt safe on the boat ride and in the kayaks. I wish we’d had a waterproof phone case to take pics when kayaking, so recommend that if you go. Jumping into the sea from the boat at the end was a highlight and super refreshing! Drinks also reasonably priced onboard.
Fabulous experience! First time kayaking age 52. Alex gave all instructions & made us feel confident we were good to go! Lovely boat ride, very interesting information on Alvor, history facts plus really good fun & vibes!
Great trip and wonderful service!
