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!

Wonderful trip with a relaxed atmosphere and a great crew. The stop on the way back to jump into the ocean was a great finale

Awesome experience! The boat was really nice and accommodated everyone well. We saw beautiful rock structures, beaches and caves. The guys manning the ship were all awesome. Great crew. I wasn’t expecting quite the walk to their station on the Marina but it’s a lively area, especially in the evening. Overall wonderful experience!

A great way to spend a few hours! This tour was well organized, the guide and onboard team provided a great atmosphere not too crazy and kept the energy flowing, good for all ages, whilst playing some good music along the way. Some great commentary which was balanced well with giving people time to relax and enjoy. Really great experience and a nice way to spend an afternoon seeing some beautiful coastline and caves in the Algarve. Thank you to the team for a memorable experience. We took the 13.45 tour on a nice 27 degrees day and it was perfect.

Bring a jacket. It was fun but windy & a little chilly. We took the afternoon one (1:45 pm) so it’d be warmer, but still cold.

This was a great value for the money. Great tour guides. Boat was nice and not overcrowded. Marina is in a great area - lively with lots to do and lots of places to eat before and after cruise. Very punctual.

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. Regarding our top deck, it is first come, first served since we do not do a price difference between the top deck and the rest of the boat. We hope to welcome you on board again!
