This is more than just following a recipe — it’s about being part of the process from start to finish. At The Kitchen, you’ll learn by doing, feeling the textures, working the dough, and watching your Pastéis de Nata come out of the oven golden and warm. There’s a natural balance between learning and enjoying the moment. You’ll be focused when it matters, but there’s always space to relax, chat, and share the experience with others around you. We keep the atmosphere small, welcoming, and hands-on, so everyone is involved and comfortable throughout the class. And then, of course, comes the question we hear all the time: “Can we save them for tomorrow?” Our answer is always the same — these are the best Pastéis de Nata you’ll have, because you made them yourself… so eat them fresh. If you feel like having more tomorrow, you already know what to do — make them again. That’s exactly how we want you to leave The Kitchen: confident, proud, and already thinking about the next batch.

What are people saying about Lagos

Yvonne_T, Oct 2026

Fun day with the best crew!

Loved this small group kayak tour. Tour was easy to find and check in was simple. We went out at 9am on a beautiful day. Safety was number one. Our captain and crew were professional, informative and fun. Ended the day with jumping in the water. Highly recommend!

Perfect afternoon on the...

Perfect afternoon on the boat and sea kayaks - our local guide was knowledgeable and funny. It was a great way to see the coast (and then we did the boardwalk hike after). We were warned to go early in the day to avoid congestion, but 11am in late Sept worked perfectly. At the end, our guide gave us a comprehensive list of what to do/stay/eat in Lagos, Porto, and Lisbon. Would highly recommend this trip and Days Adventure Tour group.

NEW Lagos-Watching Dolphins and Benagil Cave with Biologists

Cliffs, sea and dolphins

This is a great way to see the cliffs around the area along the coastline. Go early in the morning if you can. Weather dependant but they do give you a spray jacket to wear. You will get quite wet regardless from the ocean spray but it is all in the fun of the trip. The morning we went, the boat took us out 13 miles to sea to find a big pod of bottlenose dolphins with heaps of babies. It’s a bumpy ride so be prepared. And it was a good weather day. You are only in the cave no more than 2 minutes on the boat as that is all the current restrictions allow.

The best day on our trip!

This was truly the best day on our trip in the Algarve. The boat is gorgeous and was so comfortable with our group of 6.The views they take you to see are beyond what you can imagine. Nick and Bruno were so fun to chat with and learn from. They’re so personable, you can tell they really love what they do. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Thank you both for the incredible afternoon!

An absolute must!

Thanks to our tour guides Juao and Miguel for an unforgettable experience. Our group of 4 included someone hesitant about being on the water, but in no time at all we were all laughing and having the best. The tour was informative and fun, with spectacular views of the cliffs and caves from the water. We enjoyed hearing stories about every beach along the way, and going into the caves. We took so many pictures of the vibrant colours (blue, aqua of the water, and golden reds of the cliffs). To top things off, on our return Juao recommended a local fish restaurant that served the freshest sardines on the island 😋

Great Cave Tour

The cave tour was a great way to see the beautiful coastline. The water was a little choppy the day we went but our driver was able to make it as smooth of a ride as possible and also get inside of a couple of caves. We had a great time and It would be even more amazing on a calm day. I would recommend this tour.

Such an amazing start to...

Such an amazing start to our honeymoon! Captain John was excellent and we had such a fun relaxing boat tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geography and gave us good recommendations for our stay in Lagos! As it was a smaller boat we were able to go deeper into the caves than we would have been able to on a large cruise. It was the best 2 hours!

Boat trip to the caves of Benagil

A Fantastic Experience from Start to Finish

I booked this trip for my daughter, her boyfriend and me while they were visiting me here in Portugal, and we all absolutely loved it. Everything was so well organised from start to finish. From the moment our names were called and we were shown to the boat, everything ran smoothly and we felt completely looked after throughout the whole experience. Inês and Hugo were our crew and really helped to make the trip special. They were both so friendly, welcoming and attentive, while also making it very clear that we were in experienced and capable hands. They shared information along the way and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. It was quite windy on the day we went, so Hugo explained that he wasn’t able to do some of the side turns and manoeuvres that he would normally include. It honestly didn’t take anything away from the experience though. The boat ride itself was great fun and the coastline and caves were absolutely stunning. Seeing them from the water is something completely different and definitely something I’ll remember. I live in Portugal and had wanted to take my daughter and her boyfriend somewhere special while they were visiting, and this was such a good choice. We all came away saying how much we had enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lagos. It really is one of those experiences that’s worth doing and one to remember. Thank you, Inês and Hugo, for making our trip such an enjoyable one! ❤️

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.

Highlight of our Vacation!!

This was an incredible experience!! It was fun and exciting, and our tour guides pointed out so many different things along the way! We went into a lot more caves than just Benagil and the drivers made the ride so fun! We even saw dolphins! Definitely a highlight of our entire trip to Portugal! We would highly recommend books with Days of Adventure!!

Great afternoon on the water. Highly recommend!

Fantastic afternoon on this catamaran. Lots of space on the boat with both shade and sun. Also plenty of "toys" from snorkels to Stand Up Paddleboards and a floating pool. Great crew! Fun music, drinks/chips for purchase. Great, friendly vibe. Literally 3 1/2 hours start to finish. Loved the experience. Thank you!
