What are people saying about Algarve

LeeLeng_G, Oct 2026

A great morning out

This was a delightful cruise on a glorious, calm day. The catamaran had plenty of seating and was clean and comfortable. The skipper manoeuvred us through between rocky outcrops and into caves with great skill, and the other crew were kind and helpful. A very relaxing 2.5h and worth the money. We didn’t bother paying extra to go up onto the flying bridge. You can see all you want from the main deck. Be aware that all the cave hopping etc happens on the way up. On the way back you head out to sea a bit, so don’t rely on a second chance to take photos on the way back!

Dolphins Search and Benagil Caves from Albufeira

John_A, Oct 2026

Exhilarating boat trip

There was nothing better than having Gabriel and Osvaldo as guide and captain on this tour. I'm glad we chose the rib boat over the catamaran. We first went in search of bottlenose dolphins and came upon a pod of about 50 individuals, many of whom were feet from the rib boat. It was exhilarating seeing them close up. We then toured the Benagil Cave system. The rib boat was more maneuverable, allowing us better views than the larger boats. Yes, we got a little bit wet in the back. Tip, I would tip/ask the young lady at check-in to sit in the front row. We then stopped for swimming and many of us dived into the ocean and swam for about 15 minutes, very invigorating. When we returned to the dock, Gabriel recommended a restaurant for us and we enjoyed ourselves. I think it was called the Blue Table. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. Don't miss out on it and be sure to request Gabriel and Osvaldo.

We had such a great time on our boat tour in the Algarve! Nunu and Ugo were amazing. Nunu shared lots of interesting historical facts and jokes along the way, and Ugo made the speedboat ride so much fun with all the speed and turns! 😂🛥️ They were both super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a highlight of our trip and something we would highly recommend! ❤️

Exclusive Small Group Kayak Tour to Benagil Caves with 4K Photos

A great morning on the water

It was a fantastic day on the water with Alexei. There were paddlers of all skill levels and he was able to make the experience memorable for all. He provided some interesting history and perspective on all the different algars (caves with roof openings) we explored, including Benagil. There is no better way to visit these incredible spaces than with a small group in kayaks.

Albufeira: Sea Caves & Hidden Beaches Guided Kayak Tour

Mona_X, Oct 2026

Beginner friendly, the guides are very nice and professional and they will take photos of you. We went to some beautiful caves and beaches. You need to notice that this tour doesn’t go to Benagil cave (which it’s not the tour’s problem). We went for 10am tour mid October 2026 and the sea was quite calm, can get a bit wavy inside the caves, but it’s manageable.

Albufeira: Dolphins & Benagil Caves with Marine Biologist

mickgolder, Oct 2026

Great value, 2.5 hours we...

Great value, 2.5 hours we were out on the boat and stopped at various points along the coast before reach the main cave. Then a fast dash of some 30 mins off the coast to where the dolphins were that evening. Marine Biologist onboard explained what we were expecting to see on route and more detail once we found them, around 10 surfacing as the sun went down. Boat was less than half full so that was a blessing, more room to move around. Great crew also to entertain us. Overall, highly recommend and great value for money.would go again with the same company.

1,5 hour trip

Just what we ordered. A nice trip on a boat watching the coast of Portugal. The crew was nice, the guide spoke good english and was funny. Our whole family liked the trip a lot and we surely recommend it! The 1,5 hour trip was good length, but we could have been longer. Very big thanks to the crew of our trip!

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

Jennie_V, Oct 2026

Fantastic guide, very...

Fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, professional and upbeat! Unfortunately included a lot less kayaking than expected but it could’ve been due to water conditions/experience of other group members, etc..I’m not really sure and don’t think that should cause a lower review, just included to manage expectations. His goal was to keep us safe, and there was never a moment of doubt about his expertise. Also, the slide was super fun!

Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos

Kelly_C, Oct 2026

Grottos of Ponta da Piedade. Best tour yet!

You know how the hype doesn’t always match the reality. Not in this case! The water is as blue as the pictures. The caves as amazing and the coast as stunningly beautiful. Our guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. Take a smaller boat so that you can get right into the caves it’s magical.

Albufeira Safari Tour with Waterfall*, Castle and Villages

Jenny_e, Sep 2026

Awesome tour.

We’ve had an amazing safari tour. Our guide Diaz was terrific. He was very knowledgeable about all things in and about Portugal. He had such a great way of explaining things. With a lot of humor, insight and enthousiasm. Furthermore, the sites were really beautiful and great to see. And sitting in the back of a safari jeep was a real fun experience. I would definitely recommend going on this tour.
