This experience was fantastic and worth every penny! We went out (2 people) for the two hour private ride with Thomas, where we motored along the coast and got up close to all of the beautiful rock formations. The boat was nice, safe, clean, and we were able to play our own music! Thomas gave us some background on the rock formations, and let us jump off to swim as well. It was a perfect afternoon and I highly recommend!

Louise_K, Oct 2026

Fantastic fun tour of Lagos

We are not normally into organised tours but so glad we did this one. Really good fun and got to see a lot of Lagos that we wouldn’t have seen by foot. Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable. She even dropped us in the old town when we finished so that we could have a longer look and some lunch. Very worth while and would highly recommend.

From Lagos: Kayak Tour of Ponta da Piedade Caves by Boat

becca_r, Oct 2026

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.

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!

Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos

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 😋

Tour to inside the Caves /Grottos the Ponta da Piedade -Lagos

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.

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! ❤️

Boat Trip to Ponta da Piedade from Lagos

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.

People Also Ask

What are the best tours in Lagos?

Are guided tours in and around Lagos worth it?

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!"

How much do Lagos tours cost?

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.

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.

What activities are included on Lagos tours?

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.
