Crew was fantastic, friendly, and entertaining. Captain Loulou and Princess Di were awesome. The Benagil cave was absolutely stunning and some of the other caves and beaches along the way were the definition of picturesque. One hundred percent recommend! Such a highlight of our trip.

The staff were super friendly and accommodating it was a very fun experience from the jokes they made to the thrill of the boat speeding through the ocean

Bleu Fleet tours were great with amazing, friendly and knowledgeable guide and boat operator. We saw the beautiful caves, including the 'eyes of God' and the 'eye of the devil'.

This speed boat trip was great, really exciting. Captain Kit & Ivana were very friendly, informative & professional. The scenery & caves were amazing - having already walked the clifftop paths, it gave a different perspective to the wonderful area.

Amazing trip in a larger zodiac boat. Life jackets provided and padded secure seating. Skilled captain and excellent on board hostess. Spectacular views of Benagil and other amazing caves along the way. Several beautiful beaches! Well worth the price . Overalll amazing!!

What a beautiful way to see the coastline! The boat was a (surprisingly) very smooth ride to Benagil. But once you’re in the caves you’re bobbing around a little (not to mention your head is on a swivel) so take your Dramamine. I commend the boat captain for his ability to get us far into the caves and navigate around some tight spaces! A must see when in the area. Easy to access the tour from the train station.

I was worried about riding on the boat, but our experience was amazing. Every thing about the tour was fabulous. Highly recommend.
Zehra_H, Oct 2025
Incredible boat ride! The caves were spectacular! More than just Benagil cave visit. The captain and guide were friendly and knowledgeable.
Anthony_K, Sept 2025
This was an awesome experience. Would highly recommend it. Best way to see the caves up close. Staff were excellent
Angela_E, Sept 2025
Very well organized. The seats are uncomfortable. You must straddle on and off them. The ride to the caves and return is approx 30 min each way. It is quite cold with the wind on the water. ( 27 degree day ) Suggest you put jacket on BEFORE you put life vest on. Life vest must be visible. Once there the caves are spectacular. Well worth the trip.
Samantha_P, Sept 2025
We had the best time on our boat tour of the Benagil caves. The water was pretty choppy at first but it made for a memorable and exciting experience. Our guide and boat operator were kind and made our time even better. Meeting spot was easy to find, our tour started right on time, and we even got to see a dolphin. The size of the boat was perfect for fitting into the caves. If you're on the fence about booking this, just do it! You won't regret.
Julie_G, Sept 2025
We had a lovely boat ride with Ivana and Sam today! The cruise was gorgeous and the boat is small enough to get in and out of caves easily. We were lucky enough to see dolphins on our way back in!
Janelle_S, Sept 2025
Fascinating cliffs and caves along the southern coast of Portugal! Staff were informative, friendly and helpful. Worthwhile experience, reasonably priced.
NICOLE_H, Sept 2025
This tour was spectacular! Beautiful views. The drivers were friendly and spoke English well. We were able to take our backpacks on the boat.
We did however experience a last minute change of our booking - the slot we originally booked was cancelled last minute, and we found out the morning of via Viator message. We were easily able to join the afternoon tour instead, but it did make us slightly change our plans.
Brenda_H, Sept 2025
The tour is in a zodiac boat and the initial travel to the site is 30+ minutes. Boat is fast and fun. Boat is also small enough to get inside the caves. You will of course see the most well known cave with the sunroof but there are many more caves to explore plus a great view of the cliffs along the coast. We also were lucky and saw some bottlenose dolphins.
Cody_H, Aug 2025
Great morning trip to the caves! Tour guide was very personable, boat is clean, comfortable, and easy to find. Highly recommend this tour.
Lesley_H, Aug 2025
Comfortable boat, professional, feels safe.
Gorgeous views and experience. Weather windy. Staff kept safety paramount and checked in.

This was our second trip with bluefleet. Their boats are great and seemed nicer than the other tour boats we saw. The ride was so fun in the speedboat. Loved getting to see the caves. Johnny and Lady Di were funny and very knowledgeable.

The trip was worth every cent and more! We have seen dolphins and gorgeous caves. The captain was very friendly and entertaining. I would 100% recommend
Hildana_T, Jun 2025
A lovely experience! Went solo & didn’t mind it one bit. Guides were great & very professional. Meeting point was easy to find, so it all went very smooth from start to finish. Last but not least, the sights & fresh sea breeze on the way to the caves were absolutely stunning. Would do it all over again any day!
Gareth_P, Jun 2025
Fantastic boat ride which was quick and an extremely smooth ride. Very efficient tour seeing all the sights on the way to Benagil.
Julie_W, Jun 2025
Diana and Marta were a great team. It was a beautiful 45 minute boat ride from the Lagos marina to the caves. The caves themselves are just stunning. Well worth the time and the money.
Lucy_K, Jun 2025
Amazing tour and highly recommend! It was bumpy because of wind and not for those with back issues depending on your weather. Overall, views were beautiful and highly recommend.
Ravi_U, Jun 2025
