There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Lagos. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:
Yes, guided tours in and around Lagos are definitely worth it, especially if you hope to get out on the water. Guided tours give you access to areas that are hard to access on your own, including sea caves and the best swimming spots. Plus, they're the best way to guarantee dolphin sightings. On land, having a guide is helpful if you want to learn about the rich history of the Algarve region beyond its beachfront resorts.
Per one customer who booked the Boat Trip to Ponta da Piedade from Lagos, "Definitely worth the price, a fantastic tour! The boats are small enough to get into the caves and tight areas. We felt very safe in these boats, no heavy splashing or getting wet. The tour guide was fantastic!"
Guided tours in and around Lagos come in a wide range of prices—it's easy to find a tour for most budgets. Self-guided audio tours start around US$10 per person, and you can expect to pay at least US$20 per person if you want to go out on a boat to Ponta da Piedade. Dolphin-watching cruises average around US$40 per person, and most tours to Sagres will set you back around US$70 per person. Private tours and day trips are typically more expensive.
For an immersive tour at the lower end of the price range, book the Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos, for around US$22 per person. The boat is nothing fancy, but on this 75-minute tour, you'll get to admire the coastline as you cruise to Ponta da Piedade and learn how it was formed. Pricier options include the popular Half-Day Sailing Tour in Baia de Lagos with Lunch (from US$76 per person). Not only does this 4-hour trip take you to the Ponta da Piedade grottos, but it brings you inside them (via a smaller boat). You'll also get to go for a swim and be treated to a light lunch and drinks on board.
Lagos tours offer an array of activities, many of which are water-based, especially during the summer months. You'll have plenty of tours to choose from, whether you want to sail, swim, snorkel, kayak, surf, or spot dolphins. On land, activities include bird-watching, walking, hiking, cooking, and wine tastings. You can also find ziplining, rock climbing, and off-roading excursions.
All-day or multi-day Lagos tours will help you pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, on the Full Day Alvor Day Trip from Lagos, you'll board a traditional wooden sailboat, bound for the must-see Ponta da Piedade geological formations. The 7-hour tour also includes time on shore in the fishing village of Alvor, where you can have a leisurely lunch and take advantage of discounts on drinks at local bars.
Most travelers find 2–3 days is enough time to explore Lagos. That allows for a day of relaxing on the beach, a day spent out on the water, and perhaps time for a land-based excursion further inland. Give yourself at least 4–5 days if the Algarve is the only region you’ll be visiting in Portugal, and you’re making Lagos your home base for exploring the coastline.
