The Seas were a little rough due to traffic of other boats, but once we were out on the water with Bruno, everything was wonderful. He showed us all the nearby Caves, stopped at some to show us some fossilized Shells and Starfish on the Stone Structure of the Caves. Not only entertaining and insightful but also attentive and caring. A wonderful human being over all. Knowing now that those Caves will eventually disappear, made this entire experience so much more special. Highly recommend. Bruno, you da bomb! 🫶🏽
It was a very nice tour and guide Pedro was a winner. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was very busy with boats and kayak boats but nobody can help it. Also nice to receive the photos afterwards because it is difficult to take photos yourself during the tour.
We have done the guided kayak tour along the Benagil coast with the company BrotheRootzy, the experience has been exceptional from beginning to end. One of the aspects that we liked the most was that the group was small, which made the activity much more comfortable, calm, and personalized, without the feeling of overcrowding that is seen in other companies. Our guide, Rui, was extraordinary: very friendly, approachable, and always attentive to the whole group. Throughout the tour he was explaining to us the geological formation of the cliffs, the origin of the famous Benagil cave, and numerous curiosities about the coast and the marine fauna of the area. Thanks to his explanations, the excursion was not only fun, but also very interesting from a natural point of view. The equipment was in perfect condition and at all times they conveyed professionalism and concern for safety. In addition, the guide took photographs during the route and, at the end, sent them to us at no additional cost, a detail that we appreciated a lot because we were able to enjoy the experience without worrying about taking photos. Without a doubt, an essential activity if you visit the Algarve. The combination of a spectacular setting, impeccable organization, a small group, and such a professional guide made it one of the best memories of our trip. 100% recommended; we would repeat without hesitation.
Miquel was a fantastic guide and the team were all very friendly, we went out at 8:30am which was a great time to go out and would recommend it if you have youngsters as the water is calmer. definitely booking this with our younger daughter next year
It was amazing! We were very well taken care of and learned a lot of interesting things. We highly recommend this tour!
The sunrise tour with Caio was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable about the geology and the culture of the area, And very helpful on the paddle boards. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants and parking in the broader area. Definitely recommend the sunrise tour when the water is quieter and less busy. Our teens loved it all too. Would recommend!
We had a great time! Francisco was fabulous! Would highly recommend doing the paddle board tour. Our 13 year old did amazing as well!
We had an amazing experience with Brotherhoods! The sunrise paddle tour to Benagil was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. A special thank you to Caio, who was an incredible guide. He was friendly, professional, funny, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable on the water. You could really tell he loves what he does, and his positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable. We would 100% recommend Brotherhoods to anyone visiting the Algarve. If you’re lucky enough to have Caio as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for such a fantastic morning!
Booked a small group tour, but we were the only one's paddleboarding, so it turned into a private tour for us. Our guide was Caio, super chill guy and knowledgeable about the region and geography of the area. Even gave us food and restaurant recommendations at the end. It was an amazing experience exploring numerous caves, algars, and arches along the Algarve coast in Portugal.
Really great way to explore the coastline a witness the wonderful natural caves. The boats, explanations and guide were so friendly and welcoming. A great experience for all age groups.
