We’ll day one of booking I arrived to the place on time walked up to the desk and was informed that the boat wasn’t going out today as was broken ! I asked if they had any other boats for that day they said no do you want a refund so I said yes please, about a hour later had a thought to ask if they had another day they could just move it they was a little reluctant but did so. Day 2 arrived about a hour befor same thing again walked up went to book in we’re and got told we’re not letting any of our boats out today it’s to windy. I was very pissed of at this point as for the 2 days had cost about €50 in cabs to get to this place as we had no car out here just to be told sorry no boats today no phone call text or email to let us know if advance, to add to it every other companies was still going out over 15 more companies but unfortunately we’re all booked. Then got told would take over a week for them to refund my money I know they can’t help the weather but let people know so they don’t have a wasted trip

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your review and comment, that deserved our best attention.
AlgarExperience sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience we might have caused you.
The circumstances of the cancellation were, in this case, unpredictable to us since the boat that was doing the experience had an issue and had to be repaired and on the following day the weather changed and we had to cancel the activity.
We are very sorry that your experience with us was not up to your expectations and hope that you give us another chance in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback, which is very important for us to be able to improve our services continuously.
Best Regards,
AlgarExperience Team
