Great Time
We had a really great time. Thanks to our guide, who made it possible, that everyone of us could surf waves, without any experience before.

Wonderful Family kayaking trip with teens to Benagil Cave
We enjoyed a wonderful experience into Bengail cave and other caves along the beautiful coast line. Bruno and his team were wsrm, friendly and guided us safely throughout, and provided interesting information about the caves. They also took photos and shared them with us afterwards. We would highly recommend Blue Experiences.

Fantastic treatment and attention
We booked with them directly, it was my partner, me, and a friend who came to visit us, we brought a 4-month-old puppy, at all times the two guides were attentive to everyone and especially to how our puppy was doing, I recommend the experience and this company 100 percent!!! Thank you

Great value for money
Everything great, the instructors are a 10. My girlfriend broke her nail and they helped us a lot. At the end they let us rinse off to get the salt and sand off, which is appreciated. They also take photos of you.

Great surf lesson for beginners
