Walking tour of Benagil caves and Seven Hanging Valleys

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Joao. He was super friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable on our subject matter. We really enjoyed ourselves and spending time with him. His recommendations for lunch and things to do in the area after the tour was spot on. We cannot recommend the tour and him enough. Thanks so much for a fantastic day!!

A beautiful hike...

A beautiful hike worthwhile. Aaron, our guide, was great and very friendly! He gave several very interesting explanations about the fauna and flora throughout the activity and made sure to integrate everyone into the group by talking with each person. And not to mention his photography skills, which are up to the task!

4 Stops | 3 Islands & Ria Formosa Natural Park - From Faro

Anne_W, Jun 2026

Good value and good fun.

A great day visiting parts of the huge Rio de Formosa. Comfortable boat - most seats shaded. Be prepared to cop a bit of spray at times. Our guide, Joao, was a great skipper and had a good sense of humour. He provided a lot of information, made a point of interacting with all passengers early in the trip, and was happy to answer questions. Sunhat a must have for shore walking - lots of glare and heat and no trees. Plenty of options for lunch. Thank you, Joao.

A very interesting and enjoyable trip

Great trip, really convenient meeting point and the staff were very professional. We were directed to the boat to meet our captain who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the islands we would be visiting. We made three stops at very quiet, tranquil islands with very interesting communities. We saw a lot of wildlife and learned so much about the locations and history.

Fantastic Fred!

Fred was our guide, he was amazing - funny, proud of his country and full of knowledge about the area and Portugal. The history and explanation about cork and all of the land and crops was incredible! All the stops were fantastic, the view from the mountain top (Pico Alto) was nothing short of phenomenal, you can see everything! The Firewater tasting was awesome 😉 As well as the honey and jams! Bring water shoes for the waterfall as the rocks are slippery, also it is very refreshing (chilly) and is a beautiful spot. Thank you Fred for a fantastic day! This tour is well worth the money!

Stunning tour to Benagil Cave

Great tour. Guide (Mauru ??) and captain were great. We were on a rib boat and with good weather was no problem. The Algarve coastline is stunning and we saw lots of it. Getting inside many of the caves was fantastic. A great 2 hour trip. There is no cover on the boat so watch for bad weather

Great day in the western Algarve

The tour was comfortable and Benny, our guide, knew a lot of history about the Algarve. We liked the itinerary, wished we’d had just a little more time in Lagos to look around, just have enough time for lunch. We’d recommend this tour to get a good look and background for the western Algarve.

Must Do Experience in Portugal

Just incredible place to visit while you are in Portugal. Well organized tour. Not recommended for those who have a hard time walking on uneven surfaces and there is a little climbing and trekking along the coast but very much worth it. The water was a bit chilly at the beach. I recommend going in late May or June if you want to swim. Guides and Driver was great.

A fantastic experience in Tavira!

We truly enjoyed our tour of Tavira — it’s such a beautiful city! Our guide had a wonderful sense of humor and shared unique insights and local stories that we never would have discovered on our own. The tapas and wine portion of the tour at Ti Maria was absolutely exceptional — delicious food, great atmosphere, and the perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tavira!

Sinatra, the mystical city of Portugal

Sinatra was exactly how I dreamed Portugal to be. The sights were beyond beautiful! This was our last day to have an excursion and, how i wish I'd known about this town sooner! Andre, our guide, was so knowledgeable and was such a gentleman to all the ladies that he would make his mama proud! It was great to see what Portugal was at one point in time. I pray the country can keep it's heritage alive. Thank you, Andre, for a great experience.

Super cool tour in caves, wonderful guide!

Super cool! Very charismatic, funny, and knowledgeable guide Pedro, got to paddle through caves and see several caves alongside the spectacular Benagil cave with the circular hole at the top. Wear a bathing suit and quick dry clothes as you will get wet. Totally amazing!
