What are people saying about Algarve

Dolphins Search and Benagil Caves from Albufeira

Laura_M, Oct 2026

Allboat highly recommend!

Albufeira: Sea Caves & Hidden Beaches Guided Kayak Tour

Mona_X, Oct 2026

Beginner friendly, the...

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.

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

Angela_N, Oct 2026

Rare Experience!

Incredible experience. We got to kayak to tiny caves that boats would never be able to enter. Our guide Poco was extremely patient and kind and informative. It was great to hear about the cliffs and caves and how they formed and what they will become in the future as the limestone wears away slowly. Our group of 8 departed at 8:30am early October. Weather was still cloudy and cool in the morning without too much direct sunlight. Definitely recommend wearing swim wear. Waters were choppier than I expected (a bunch of tour boats kept driving by, creating more waves) so I ended up feeling a bit seasick (maybe lay off of the delicious wine the night before kayaking...). It was definitely a workout but not unmanageable. We're two women in our late 30s, relatively fit. Poco gave each kayak the opportunity to get some great photos alone in every cave. Some shots came out better than others; there's only so much you can do with water and condensation and low light. We never felt rushed and were able to ask for additional photos if we wanted. I was hoping we would be able to get out of the kayaks at Benagil, but the government no longer allows people to roam freely. Did not take away from the experience at all though. Highly recommend!

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.

Albufeira: Benagil Caves and Coastline Cruise

rubyleighsmith, Oct 2026

Absolutely amazing experience – highly recommend!

We had the most amazing 3-hour catamaran cruise to the Benagil Cave in Portugal! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and seeing the caves and coastline from the water was a real highlight of our holiday. The boat was lovely, and the whole experience was so relaxing and enjoyable. Nunu, Tomas and Marcelo were absolutely fab! They were friendly, welcoming and made the whole trip even more enjoyable with their excellent service and great atmosphere. We also had time to stop for a swim, which was fantastic and made the trip even more special. Three hours was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, take plenty of photos and have a proper chance to relax out on the water. We did get really bad seasickness while we were out there so couldn’t enjoy the trip as much as we had hoped, but it’s still definitely one of the best things to do on the Algarve! It was such a brilliant experience from start to finish and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. I would 100% recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the Algarve. Five stars all the way – an absolute must-do! ☀️🌊⛵

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, Sept 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.
