What are people saying about Algarve

Lilly_M, Nov 2026

Amazing morning on the water!

This is a do not miss experience in Lagos! We were lucky with the weather being sunny and warm in early November so that we could enjoy the spectacular caverns, arches and hidden gems along Ponta da Piadade. Ricardo/ "Adam" was a super guide, fun and informative while ensuring everyone was safe and comfortable. The boat crew guys had super positive friendly vibes and made us feel so welcome. To top it off, we did as Ricardo recommended and walked out to the point later that day to see it all from above. Can't recommend this trip enough!

Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos

Brian_P, Nov 2026

Intro to the Algarve Coast

A brief boat trip to see some of the rock formations on the Lagos coast. Boat ride was shortly over an hour with 2 guides Carlos and Igor who were local and gave some background. It was a fun trip- plan on getting a little wet from the ocean spray. If you are prone to seasickness I would avoid or take medicine depending on the day. It isn’t a problem for most people not prone.

Portimão: Benagil caves and Dolphins • Marine Biologist on board

Tiffany_K, Nov 2026

Great tour!

It was a great tour, the marine biologists were very informative. It was such a great experience!!! We saw 2 different kinds of dolphins and we saw lots. They also made sure our kids were able to see at the front of the boats, cause there were pushy adults who didn't care whether young children were able to see. I really appreciate that they noticed that and politely found ways to make sure they also had a fun experience. We were there from the cruise ship and they made sure we were done on time to get back on the boat. If I had to give feedback I wish they told us a bit more about the facts, but they were very open to answer any questions we may have. Overall a great experience and I'd do it again.

Albufeira: Benagil Caves and Coastline Cruise

94hr, Nov 2026

Recommendation, beautiful trip on the water.

The location was easy to find at the Marina. Politely answered in English. We got an upgrade to their newest ship, it is beautiful. It glides smoothly through the water and is very stable. At the upgrade, there was also a welcome drink at the harbor and various snacks and drinks on board. The guide explained everything about the rock formations and the history. Had a nice 3-hour trip.

Boat trip to the caves of Benagil

Tracey_A, Oct 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Benagil Cave Experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great time on our Benagil boat tour! The views were absolutely amazing, from the salty breeze and sparkling blue water rushing past us to the thrill of speeding across the open sea. We loved the mix of racing over the waves and slowing down to carefully explore the caves, where golden rock walls, cool shadows, and shafts of sunlight made everything feel magical. Our skipper was a true pro, making it all look effortless, while our guide brought so much energy and personality to the experience. He was knowledgeable, fun, and kept everyone engaged. What really stood out was how they took the time at the end to share some of their favorite local spots and recommendations for our time in Lagos. Such a fun and memorable experience with a fantastic crew. We would absolutely recommend it!

Dolphins Search and Benagil Caves from Albufeira

John_A, Oct 2026

Exhilarating boat trip

There was nothing better than having Gabriel and Osvaldo as guide and captain on this tour. I'm glad we chose the rib boat over the catamaran. We first went in search of bottlenose dolphins and came upon a pod of about 50 individuals, many of whom were feet from the rib boat. It was exhilarating seeing them close up. We then toured the Benagil Cave system. The rib boat was more maneuverable, allowing us better views than the larger boats. Yes, we got a little bit wet in the back. Tip, I would tip/ask the young lady at check-in to sit in the front row. We then stopped for swimming and many of us dived into the ocean and swam for about 15 minutes, very invigorating. When we returned to the dock, Gabriel recommended a restaurant for us and we enjoyed ourselves. I think it was called the Blue Table. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Don't miss out on it and be sure to request Gabriel and Osvaldo.

Portimao Benagil Caves Speedboat Tour

Michael_R, Oct 2026

Standing in line

This was a good, short 1.5 hour trip for a good price! The departure point is immediately adjacent to the Norwegian tender location which worked out after finishing our walking tour and then easily and quickly booking this fast boat tour while sitting in the museum. There are several boats operated by this Atlantis company. Many lines qued up so standing and waiting outside Ok but not ideal. Our que started moving 10 minutes past the 1:30 pm departure time. I'm not sure why we didn't board on time or early since we were not waiting for anyone. We saw all the sights including Bengali caves. Low tide was at 4pm so we didn't have any problems getting into and through the various boating sights. Returnung back to the NCL tender was just over the fence adjacent to where the fast boats returned but it was a 10 minute walk to cirlcle around the fence to the passport contol building and then back to where we started on the other side of the fence. The last NCL tender was at 6pm so we did not have to stress about returning to the ship.

Boat Trip to Ponta da Piedade from Lagos

Michael_M, Sep 2026

This was a great choice...

This was a great choice for a tour of the amazing shoreline in Lagos. If you are looking for a close look at all the caves and small inlets along the super high shoreline, this group is great. The reviews are justified. The captain and tour guide were entertaining. The small boat with 10 people is the perfect size.

Lagos: Dolphins & Benagil Caves - Catamaran with Marine Biologist

Justin_H, Sep 2026

Excellent tour!

This is the cave tour you want! I can’t believe how many dolphins we saw! It had to be 30 or 40 of them jumping out of the water and they were so close to the boat. Really outstanding! The caves themselves are pretty standard to be honest, so I would be sure to get yourself a cave tour that has something other than just the caves. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we had an exceptionally clean and well operated boat.

Albufeira Safari Tour with Waterfall*, Castle and Villages

Jenny_e, Sep 2026

Awesome tour.

We’ve had an amazing safari tour. Our guide Diaz was terrific. He was very knowledgeable about all things in and about Portugal. He had such a great way of explaining things. With a lot of humor, insight and enthousiasm. Furthermore, the sites were really beautiful and great to see. And sitting in the back of a safari jeep was a real fun experience. I would definitely recommend going on this tour.
