We took our trip to the Algarve mid-October. Weather was still warm enough to swim, which we were allowed to do off the boat for a few minutes. The rocks are a marvel! The staff was very friendly and helpful. A lovely trip. I highly recommend it!

It was a pleasant guided cruise along the Algarve coast to the Benagil Caves. We were able to sit below or on the top deck of the catamaran. There was room for everyone. Drinks and snacks were available for purchase and there were rest rooms on the boat.

Boat ride was a bit rocky at first but soon turned into a one of a life time experience when a basking shark was spotted. Great day with a great crew.

It was a very rough windy day and half the boat was sick. Terrible experience. We should not have been out there. They cancelled after that. Wish we had not gone. Could not even stand to walk to take photos.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear customer,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, sea conditions can change quite suddenly, and up until the time of departure, all reports indicated that it was safe to sail. The decision to proceed was made based on official information and with the authorization of the Port Captain, who confirmed that the conditions were suitable.
The safety and comfort of our passengers are always our top priority, and we understand that the sea state that day may have caused some discomfort.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we truly appreciate it, as it helps us continue improving the experience we offer to all our guests.
Kind regards, SeaAlgarve Team :)

Good communication from crew even managed to get into one of the caves which is surprising due to size of boat.

This was an excellent way to see parts of the Algarve coastline. Very comfortable and good views on the top deck, but there is a compromise in that it’s not the best vantage point to specifically see the full scope of the Benagil cave. Hugo of SeaAlgarve did a great job of pointing out the various beaches and caves.

We did the Benagil Caves & Coastline Boat Tour today and overall it was a really good experience. The boat itself was in great condition — clean, comfortable, and felt safe throughout the trip. The staff were absolutely brilliant: friendly, funny, and clearly knew what they were doing. Everything ran right on time, which I appreciated.
The coastline views were stunning and it’s definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Albufeira. The only small negatives were that the trip felt a little long towards the end, and the actual time inside or near the Benagil Cave was quite short. There also weren’t many opportunities to take photos while stopped, which was a shame given how beautiful the location is.
Overall though, it’s a solid, well-run experience and I’d definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to see the Algarve coastline from the water.

Had an amazing trip to the Benagil caves. The crew were so entertaining and caring, pointing out all the beautiful beaches and landmarks along the coastline. They stopped the boat for a while so we could have a lovely swim in the ocean. The coastal scenery and caves were incredible. Such a relaxing morning. Highly recommend this tour.

Was good but we were promised top deck which was not provided. But otherwise recommend it. Really enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear customer, thank you for your review! We are really glad to hear you enjoyed our tour.

Great music playing, drinks on board, hilarious staff and extremely professional and skilled captain

Hreat trip to get to see the Algarve coastline and rock formations specially the benagil caves. The boat was nice with lively music. The thing that was surprising was the lax attitude towards safety with the captain letting a drunk passenger be on the wheel for 20 mins on the return leg.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear customer, thank you very much for your feedback and for choosing to explore the Algarve coastline with us. We are happy to know you enjoyed the scenery, the caves and the lively atmosphere on board.
Regarding your comment about safety, we would like to clarify that we have no record of such an incident. Passenger safety is our top priority, and our captains are trained to follow strict procedures at all times. Could you please provide us with the exact date and time of your trip, so that we can investigate this matter further?
We truly appreciate your help and look forward to welcoming you again for another safe and enjoyable experience.
Kindest regards,
SeaAlgarve

On time, professional (and funny) captain and crew! Beautiful ride. They pointed out all sorts of beautiful formations. If you aren’t planning on swimming we recommend the 4:30 tour in the summer so it’s not so hot or sunny! They do have drinks and snacks for purchase but you may just want to bring something along.
