Bruno the best!

Bruno our tour guide was amazing from start to finish. He was knowledgeable and very engaging with everyone. He also showed great kindness to elderly passengers which to me is so important! Would highly recommend this tour - all our family thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth the money!

Catamaran Cruise: Caves and Coastline to Benagil

deborah_l, May 2026

Fantastic experience!

Beautiful scenery! Very helpful & kind crew. It was great to have drinks available for purchase & a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Three hours was the perfect length of time for the trip to the Benagil cave. We chose this catamaran as it had a bathroom and comfortable seating. We would highly recommend this trip to all ages!

From Lagos: Kayak Tour of Ponta da Piedade Caves on Catamaran

Heidi_H, May 2026

A trip highlight!

We took a 9:15am tour which was perfect—sun out and water calm. EXCELLENT guides (4 of them). Were able to go into numerous caves with the kayaks and the boat ride to the kayak drop off area was pleasant. There were numerous other people on the trip which at first was a bummer, but everyone very nice and once we were in the water it didn’t much matter. A highlight of our trip and this company did a great job!

Amazing Cave Tour

Our guide Bruno was great. We did a sunrise kayaking tour. We were blessed with calm waters, low tide and a beautiful sunrise. Bruno expertly navigated us through the Benagil cave (which is unbelievably beautiful), and 3 other caves. We kayaked from the Atlantic side of the ocean, through a cave to the Mediterranean side of the ocean. Bruno provided info about each location, and also took photos along the way (he sent them to us after the trip). While the water is very cold, the trip was amazing, and Bruno was a great guide.

Marta was an incredible guide! My husband and I were on our honeymoon, and Marta made our boat tour truly special. This also was the only tour we saw while we were out where we were on a luxurious boat, and we were allowed to jump in the water and swim! Marta personalized the tour to our liking and it was perfect. She even has speakers on board and asked if we would like to play our own music on tour, although she has great music taste herself! The trip was safe and comfortable. I could not recommend this experience enough!

Great time, great value!

My family and I had a great time on our boat ride! Our captain, Marta, was very knowledgable and friendly. We saw so many beautiful rock formations, went into some caves, and got all the local tea on good spots to eat, nude beaches, and Brangelina's foray into local real estate. I would definitely recommend this tour, and would definitely do it again if I'm in the area!

A very good trip down the coastline from albufeira to the caves passed many lovely beaches one of which we visited the very next day. Very good staff and an excellent captain of the boat who made sure we went all the way into the cave to see the fantastic view inside even though we were on a much bigger boat than the other boats there at the same time as us. Thank you all very much for a fantastic trip and on meeting my sons double lol xxx

Our guide was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. He did knew all the angles when it came to taking pictures. It was a good balance of activity and being educational. He gave us good tips on where to go and what to do. Visiting around March, off season is best - less ppl and more time to explore.

Dolphin Watching and Caves Cruise

Eganroger, Mar 2026

Awesome afternoon boat cruise to the Benagil Caves and Dolphins

The crew on the boat were very engaging. We saw several groups of dolphins. That’s where I’m all around the boat somewhere so close you could almost touch them. And the caves are spectacular. A couple of folks decided to have a swim. Brrrrr! Not for me thanks but they said it was invigorating.. (March 5, 2026)

Albufeira 1.5 hour Off-Road Tour Buggy Adventure Tour

Jennifer_O, Nov 2025

Amazing experience! Better than expected.

Amazing! Very well organised and the track was even better than I expected, various terain and speed. The whole team were friendly from arrival to the end. We signed a waiver so knew what the costs were of you caused any damage, but this is pretty standard. We were given water and a thorough explanation of how the trip would go. A thorough 'talk' was given which made us feel it might be a bit of a slow, boring experience but it definitely wasn't. You do have to stay in order behind the guide but you get to go at speed along rocky terrain, dirt tracks and roads. Best experience of our holiday and highly recommend 👌 We'll definitely being going the 3 hour excursion next time we're un Albufeira.
