This kayak tour around Ponta de Piedade was incredible! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the experience was so much fun from start to finish. The transport boat even had a slide and we got to jump into the ocean, which made the day extra special. The staff were funny, welcoming, and always helpful, which really added to the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lagos!

We had an amazing kayaking experience, from start to finish. My teenage children and us loved being on the kayaks and visiting the stunning caves around Lagos, truly the best way to see the amazing coastline of the Algarve. Everything was incredibly well organised and punctual and the guides were attentive, welcoming, knowledgeable and funny! We chose the 5pm start, which was great, as it was not too hot by then. A real highlight was swimming off the boat afterwards. We did not feel rushed at all, it was a memorable experience and would love to go back and do it all again. Thank you!

It was excellent - travelled with teenagers and they both loved it very much.
Our guide was very experienced, provided all information about the location and the activity, was monitoring the group all the time to make sure no one was left behind and that everyone was enjoying the experience.
10/10 - super recommend!

We absolutely loved this experience. Our guide, Simao was so great! Funny, experienced, and great stories about Lagos and the Portuguese culture. He made sure everyone felt safe in the kayaks, whether it was your first time kayaking or if you had experience. We didn’t want the tour to end, but grateful for the chance to jump in the water at the end for a quick, cold, swim.

We had the morning session which was great before it got really hot and the water was pretty calm. The meeting point was very easy to spot and the crew on board were very kind and helpful. Definitely would recommend doing this it was cool to go inside so many of the caves. This was the highlight of our trip to Lagos!

I really enjoyed the Ponta da Piedade caves kayak tour, especially as I had previous kayaking experience. The scenery was beautiful, and kayaking through the caves was a lovely holiday activity. The boat trip back, including the opportunity to jump and swim off the boat, was also a fantastic way to finish the tour. 🌊
However, I would say this particular tour and/or guide is more suitable for somewhat experienced kayakers rather than beginners, despite being advertised as suitable for those with no experience. Two of my friends and others in our group were completely new to kayaking and received very little guidance. At times, the tour lead became visibly irritated with the less experienced members and left those who were struggling well behind and out of sight. This was concerning, particularly for people who were unfamiliar with kayaking.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for me, but I would recommend that beginners consider a different tour or one with more hands-on guidance and patience for less experienced participants.

We had a great time sea kayaking. The views of the coastline and rock formations were stunning. We had time to just bob on the ocean and look as it was quite busy going into the smaller areas where we had to wait for the motorised boats to go first.
We had a great guide, Gabriel, who also shared a list of things to do in Lagos which was really helpful.
The boat crew were friendly and helpful and we even had time to jump/slide off the boat into the ocean and have a swim.

This was a fun tour and way to see the caves! Our guide and boat crew were very fun and gave a lot of recommendations for things to do in the Algarve. They wanted everyone to have a good time! Be prepared that there is a ton of traffic (boats, other kayakers, etc.) in and around the caves which made some parts a little bit stressful. Overall, great experience and something you should do when visiting!

Great tour and good boat experience! The kayak experience was amazing looking at the caves from the water. My 19 year old and I loved it!! It was also awesome that they carved out a little time to experience a swim in the water. If the tour guide on the kayak could share more depth and information on the caves or the area the trip would have been exceptional. You don’t want to miss this experience to see the views from the water.

This was an awesome experience. The staff was friendly and patient and everything was clean and well coordinated. The cliff area was quite busy, but our Guide had no problem, navigating us through the caves with ease. I would highly recommend anybody for this experience. Also, our kids are 8, 10 and 13 and they all had a wonderful time!

This was an amazing experience. The boat and crew were fun, friendly, and professional. Look no further and settle for lesser operated kayak tour. Having seen the other tour operators, this one is the best and you can’t go wrong.

Fabulous trip! The kayaking was great fun, and the guides were really friendly. We visited several beautiful caves, and spent around 1.5hrs in the kayaks, which was perfect. The kids enjoyed jumping into the sea from the boat afterwards. The guides also gave us a great list of restaurant recommendations and things to see and do, which was a nice touch.

Great time. Easy quick boat ride so no time for any boat/motion sickness. The kayaking was easy they got you in and out of the water no issues. Our one guide had lots of personality the others were fairly quite but it was a good time.

Our tour was unfortunately cancelled due to the strong swells at sea, BUT the company is super proactive and communicative. 24 hours before our trip we received a call and were able to fully rebook to one of their alternate activities, which turned out to be super enjoyable!
