Great experience

It was a great experience. We went at the 9:30 slot on a day we knew had clear skies. The waves were fairly calm and as a seasickness sufferer the boat was big enough to not cause any issues. The guide was great and we would recommend!

Great family experience with excellent guides

Very good activity to do in albufeira. Went as a family , myself and daughter done it, wife and other daughter stayed on boat as spectators and enjoyed relaxing on boat. The boat takes about 40 mins out around coast, they then let the kayaks off the back of boat and do kayaking for 80 mins or so around coast and into caves. Guides are good fun and done a double kayak with daughter. Both of us really enjoyed , at the end they let you swim for a few minutes to a secluded beach. Very good few hours out. Worth the money and nice to have some food back at the albufeira marina afterwards with loads of food options
