Lagos grottos
Loved seeing the cliffs and grottos! The crew was very friendly. Wish they had put sails up, but overall, we highly recommend.

Great tour to include on your trip!!
We loved this tour! Very relaxing ride on the sailboat while seeing beautiful rock formations. They provided a nice tapas platter and great music. Transferred to a small boat to see the caves up close. The staff were very nice and fun. Highly recommend this tour!!

Beautiful day but crew could be better
Beautiful day to be out on the water. Unfortunately the captain and crew wasn’t the friendliest. When we split up for the small boat cave tour they put me with the Portuguese speaking people without even asking me if I had a preference so the guide would say a lot in Portuguese then tack on a few English words. The other group had Canadian and English couples so I imagine their tour was in English.

Super friendly
Great cruise, well organized. Nice sailboat, tapas included. Then a visit with the small 10-person boat to the Piedade caves. And a little swim as well. I recommend it

A fabulous trip
We had a thoroughly enjoyable 2.5 hours on our boat trip. The crew were superb. Fun, attentive, funny, and knowledgable. The boat didn’t feel over crowded and the whole trip was very well organised. The tapas included was lovely and the bar was equipped with a variety of good priced drinks. Swimming in the sea was lovely, and the boat tender to the caves was really fun - Reuben was a very entertaining driver. Our other crew (I think/hope I have their names right) were Bruno, Marianne and Gonzalez. All deserved a shout out. 100% recommend. Wish I’d booked a longer excursion.

Great Family Trip
We had a lovely time on this sailing trip. The food was delicious, the staff friendly, and the sites I forgettable. We loved being able to swim around in the ocean for a bit and then taking the smaller boat to see the arches and caves of the coastline. I have to say, the guy driving that smaller boat knows what he's doing. Worth the money to get to see the coastline from the ocean.

A great day on the boat....
A great day on the boat. Easy to find on the marina. Took us in small groups to explore the caves. Provided a nice tapas. Able to jump off the boat which was fun. We were able to purchase drinks on the boat. The crew was friendly.
