The best, totally recommended
A wonder, we did a private tour and it was magnificent. They showed us every cave, and they told us the history of each one. Very fun, pleasant, and recommended. Thanks to Carlos and Bruno, the captain and the guide.

Must go!!!!!! Benagil cave on a private boat!!!
We had a private tour with Bruno and Carlos. The tour started off on the right foot, they asked us what we preferred to see and do. We chose caves and a swim. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable of the are and were born and raised in the Algarve. We saw so many beautiful places, different caves, rock formation that looked like animals and small beaches nestled between giant cliffs. The tour surpassed our expectations. The tour guides definitely made the tour enjoyful and entertaining.

Fantastic
We hired a private boat for a group and the experience was superb. The two chaps who took us were very entertaining, funny and welcoming making the whole trip enjoyable. Would highly recommend the tour . Would also suggest if you are in a big group check the prices of the private tour as it worked out a better price!!

A Perfect 2-Hour Tour of the Algarve
We were two couples on this private two-hour boat tour. I don't really care for tours or boats, but these two tour guides were wonderful and the boat was too - very smooth. Bring a hoodie - its cold when you go fast. They brought us to all the important sites and took great pics of each couple. I would highly recommend!
PS The guy who is at the booth when you arrive isn't very nice, attentive or clear about how it all works, but once you get to the boat with tour guides, its all smiles and fun.

Terrific excursion!
Dino was a terrific and entertaining guide! It was a great 4 hour excursion with plenty of photo opportunities. We were fortunate to see some dolphins which is not common and didn’t feel rushed at all to enjoy them playing at the start of our tour. We decided against a dip in the water although they offered to stop as it was a little chilly and windy but didn’t feel like we missed out. The only negative would be that we had originally been scheduled for the day prior and had driven 40 minutes to the marina only to find out they were not allowed to access the caves and we were offered to continue without doing the caves or reschedule. We were happy to be able to reschedule for the next day at the same time but as we booked directly with the company and they had our contact info, it would have been preferred if they texted through what’s app or emailed regarding this as soon as they were aware to give us the option to reschedule without needing to go all the way to the marina and avoid 2 hours of unnecessary travel. We still had an excellent experience and would book with them again in the future!

Great tour
We really liked the tour!!
I booked a private tour for my family at 9 in the morning.
The weather was a little foggy and the experience was even more unique!
Plus side there were few boats around so we were able to move around easily.
Our guide was fun and informative and the captain (Dino) very experienced.
I really recommend the tour
