Gorgeous kayaking

Super fun day. Liked going early before it got too hot. The caves were beautiful, kayaking fun and the swim was refreshing. A nice way to see the city from a different perspective for a couple hours.

Good experience

We were unable to do the initially planned activity, the cave kayak tour, due to weather conditions (too many waves, too dangerous). As a result, we had the option of either a refund, rescheduling, or changing the activity. We therefore did a speedboat trip instead with dolphin watching, which was very fun, unless you get seasick, in which case you should abstain. A little disappointed not to have been able to go kayaking and not to have been able to visit the cave, but very happy to have observed dolphins in their natural environment.

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! Unfortunately, sea conditions can sometimes prevent us from safely operating the kayak tour, and the safety of our guests and crew must always come first. We really appreciate your understanding and flexibility in choosing an alternative experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Dolphin Watching tour and, especially, that you had the opportunity to see dolphins in their natural habitat! We completely understand the disappointment of missing the kayaking and caves, and we hope you’ll have the chance to return to Lagos and experience them with us next time. Thank you again for joining BlueFleet, and we hope to welcome you back on board! Kind Regards, BlueFleet Team

Beautiful kayak trip

Fantastic trip. Safe and indescribably beautiful. Absolutely fantastic guide. The dog should be described more clearly where we should meet. Include address. So if it gets sorted out - there's nothing to point fingers at ☺️☺️👌👌🌟🌟🌸🌸

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you felt safe, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and had such a positive experience with our guide. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! BlueFleet Team

Meh

It was an okay trip. I went solo and I was paired up with someone else who didn’t know how to kayak, so it was a little frustrating vs enjoyable. I wish they would have solo kayaks. Also, the tour it’s self was only an hour if that and then they let you swim and the rest of the time is on the boat. It said 2 hours but we were back in an hour and a half or so. That was kind of frustrating. Overall, it was okay. Caves were busy with other kayaks and boats and it felt chaotic. Def go early!

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. As advertised, all our kayaks are double kayaks, so solo participants are paired with another guest. The advertised two-hour duration includes the full experience: the journey aboard the support boat to Ponta da Piedade, the guided kayak tour, a swimming stop when conditions allow, and the return journey aboard the support boat. During the summer, Lagos and Ponta da Piedade naturally receive more visitors and tourism activity. For guests who prefer a quieter experience, we generally recommend choosing an earlier departure. We appreciate your comments and will continue working to ensure that all details of the experience are communicated as clearly as possible. Kind regards, BlueFleet Team

Great kayaking tour of the caves and rocks

Great kayak tour of the caves and rock formations. First take boat to get close to kayaking area, then 2 people per kayak (stronger kayaker sits in the back), then get a guided tour of the caves and ruins. Guide was very informative and funny and talked a lot about the rock formations and had amusing stories about what they looked like. Then had time to jump in the water and swim for 10-15 minutes. Water was cool but refreshing. Lots of fun, kayaking was mildly strenuous but easy overall. Highly recommend.

Great guides but anticipate crowds and shorter than anticipated excursion

I was a solo female traveler and what I did appreciate about Blue Fleet vs the other kayaking companies is that they pair you up with a guide in the double Kayak instead of a random stranger. That also helped me feel safe and our guide, Miguel was great! He was great at keeping the group together, helping any kayak that was struggling and he was funny. A great double kayak partner! Why I knocked off a bubble is because this tour was a lot shorter than what I anticipated. I felt we went through just a couple of caves and then we were done and on the way back so Im not sure if the cost is worth the short tour, but the caves are beautiful. I also booked the earliest tour at 845 am thinking that it would avoid the crowds as I hear the afternoons get pretty packed but there were still a lot of kayakers on the ocean so be prepared to wait and bump into other groups too. Otherwise, the skipper and crew were great and the Blue Fleet location is easy to find!

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback! We are delighted that you felt safe and well supported, especially as a solo traveller. We will be sure to share your kind words with Miguel — he will be very happy to hear them! We are also pleased that you enjoyed the crew, skipper and the convenience of our meeting point. Our Kayak Experience lasts approximately two hours, including the journey aboard our support catamaran to and from Ponta da Piedade. The time and number of caves explored by kayak can vary depending on sea conditions, maritime traffic and the guide’s safety assessment. Although early departures are usually quieter than afternoon tours, Ponta da Piedade is a very popular area during the high season, and we unfortunately cannot control the number of kayaks operated by other companies. Thank you again for choosing BlueFleet. We truly appreciate your comments and hope the beauty of the caves made the experience a memorable one!

Something you should not miss in Algarve!

Jasně — tady je přirozená, nadšená recenze v angličtině, vhodná na Google nebo Tripadvisor: Absolutely perfect experience! Our kayak tour of Ponta da Piedade was one of the highlights of our holiday. Everything was extremely well organized, and our guide Michael was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. Exploring the spectacular cliffs, caves, and hidden corners of Ponta da Piedade from a kayak was an incredible experience. Being so close to the rocks and the water is something you simply cannot compare with seeing the coastline from a boat. The small group made the experience even more enjoyable and personal, and Michael gave us a great explanation along the way. It was an amazing adventure for the whole family, with beautiful scenery and unforgettable moments. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Algarve!

Operator response

Exploring the caves, cliffs and hidden corners from the water really is a unique way to experience this beautiful part of the Algarve. A special thank you for your kind words about Michael. We will be very happy to share your feedback with him and the rest of the team. It was a pleasure having you and your family with us. Thank you for choosing BlueFleet and for recommending the experience — we hope to welcome you back to Lagos for another adventure in the future! Kind Regards, The BlueFleet Team
