John was the best guide ever. Kept us safe getting in and out of the kayak. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. My husband and I were the two older in the group but he and everyone else were so welcoming. I would 100% recommend this company. Love every minute of our 2 hour tour.

We had an awesome 2 hour tour along the coastline and into the many caves. Our guides name was Lovely and he was fantastic! Professional and knowledgeable. We booked online based on other reviews as we didn't want to chance not getting a tour at the beach. Being the winter season it was not busy and we ended up being the only 2 on the tour. A private tour on a beautiful sunny day! I would highly recommend this company.

Great experience. I booked the tour last minute whilst I was at the beach. The team are super nice and helpful. The tour was great. We had time to swim at the end if we wanted to in a really nice spot. The guide was informative and provided history of the area.

Nice tour. Efficient. Not too much waiting despite a big group. Lacks explanations about landscape ( that is why I give 4 and not 5)

I am so glad be booked this tour with Diamond Tours! Lovely (Our tour guide and kayaker extraordinaire) did a wonderful job of taking us into the Benagil Cave in Algarve, as well as kayaking into some of the smaller caves and then on to Marinha Beach! We had great conversation, lots of laughs and we were even able to get a swim in. Lovely had a heart of gold and a wonderful personality - and also share a lot of knowledge of the various caves and cliffs! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and I would recommend him and Diamond tours to anyone!

Awesome experience! We got to explore a few of the caves, taking a break on a beautiful beach before returning from the tour.

We looooved it, our guides Luis & Hugo were so amazing, caring and helpful. Other than that they very knowledgeable and professional explaining us many interesting facts. The tour started in time, the day was beautiful and the region fantastic. We totally recommend it because it is a sustainable way to visit the Algarve gems not harming the environment and having much more fun.

Organised the trip the night before, turned up and launched the kayaks quickly, went through many interesting caves including Benagil. Went to an amazing beach and had plenty of time to look at each cave. Very well guided!

Perfect activity for a couple, we had an amazing time kayaking along the coast and going into several caves, secret beaches and the famous Benagil cave.
The guide was impressive and proficient in several languages and could cater to the whole group of 3 couples. His instructions were really good and we felt confident on the kayak even when going through some of the narrower caves. we had a wet pouch to take our camera/phone and left with tons of stunning photos.
We highly recommend you travel for this activity regardless of where you’re staying in the Algarve!!

Guides sympathiques, excursion qui pourrait être agréable dans 1 magnifique cadre victime de son succès.
Groupes trop importants et le pire c'est la rotation perpétuelle des bateaux ne respectant ni les kayakistes ou paddles en provoquant de grosses vagues. Sans parler de l'aspect écologique...
Virginie_M, Aug 2023
Très belle excursion par contre aucune instruction sur comment tenir sa pagaie, on doit se débrouiller. C est bien dommage sachant que l on doit venir 30 min à l avance et qu on m avait assurer qu il y aurait des explications. On passe très vite d un endroit à un autre et dans le speed
Cristina_C, Aug 2023
Nos cancelaron por olas un rato antes de la actividad, sin dar mucha más explicación sobre el reembolso o la posibilidad de cambiar la fecha de la actividad. Además, no cogen el teléfono y tras hablar con Viator no nos dieron tampoco mucha solución sobre los días en los que nos abonarán el dinero. Espero que nos lo devuelvan.

Entre las vistas, el buen rollo que teníamos con con los demás y con los monitores lo pasamos muy bien. Por otro lado, uno de mis amigos se creía Saul Craviotto y realizo la maniobra "titanic", tengan cuidado porque aún estando mamadisimo le costo subir de nuevo al kayak.

Hola,muchas gracias...

Muy buena experiencia, recomendable!
Visitamos unas cuevas espectaculares que debes ir con guías experimentados. En nuestro caso fuimos con Hugo y otro instructor que fueron muy atentos los 2, muchas gracias!

Hola,muchas gracias...

El paseo es precioso y muy completo: pasa por varias cuevas, además de la famosa cueva de Benagil y bordea la costa hasta playa Marinha. Además, te dejan una bolsa estanca para llevar los objetos de valor, como el móvil, para que puedas hacer fotos durante el trayecto.
También nos encantó el trato de los miembros de la empresa, sobre todo de una de las chicas que nos acompañó en los kayaks: super atenta y simpática en todo momento. Qué pena no haber preguntado su nombre!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Olá, muchas gracias,tudo de bom 😊😊😊

No tienen señalizado el punto de encuentro. Nos tuvieron esperando una media hora y no nos dieron ningún tipo de explicación previa, ni del manejo del kayak y del recorrido que íbamos a realizar. No es una actividad peligrosa, pero el acceso a la playa a través de una cueva hubiera requerido de una mínima explicación o instrucción previa ya que el acceso tiene rocas, es muy estrecho y si coincide con la entrada de alguna lancha o barco generan olas que pueden llevarte a chocar. De echo mientras estuvimos en la visita de la playa una chica se golpeó en la cara y la pierna y tuvo venir una moto para asistirla y remolcarla hasta la playa

Hola,obrigado pela preferência.
Neste mês de agosto a afluência ao local é muito intensa como puderam constatar,e não é fácil por vezes gerir as preferências com tantos outras pessoas a frequentar a zona de benagil, que é uma das mais procuradas, no entanto tentamos em condições de segurança e lazer fazer o melhor possível, muito obrigado.
Horacio_N, Aug 2020
La excursión empezó 1 hora más tarde y termino antes de la hora. El recorrido fue muy corto y nos dejaron 40 minutos en una cueva que no merecía más de 10 minitos, de las peores excursiones y el servicio pésimo
Response from Host, Aug 2020
A tour segue um itenerario e pode variar com as condições do mar que era o caso do dia da vossa tour,tendo em conta a vossa experiência como remadores, no entanto foi do agrado do restante grupo,tentamos agradar o mais possível, muito obrigado...
Alexander_G, Aug 2020
Muy bueno el tour, el guía Francesco fue muy amable, profesional y simpático. Tomamos el horario de las 8:30 am y fue la mejor elección porque a esa hora el mar está más tranquilo y casi no hay personas ni otros tours de kayak. Excelente!
Response from Host, Aug 2020
Muchas gracias por participar na experiência...
Rut_P, Aug 2020
La experiencia fue genial porque el paisaje es espectacular y entrar en las cuevas una pasada pero si hubo alguna cosa a mejorar, en primer lugar es difícil de localizar la zona de salida porque no tiene caseta propia, la visita podía haber sido el chino porque apenas nos dio el guia explicación alguna y para terminar al final del recorrido los cayaks iban muy distanciados porque aunque es divertido también es un poco cansado y las fuerzas por Flaquean...el monitor en vez de reagruparnos siguió adelante y los que íbamos rezagados...al menos 4 de los 8 cayaks del tour nos quedamos sin ver las últimas cuevas.

Todo perfecto, merece la pena, un paisaje precioso. Mención especial para el guía Francesco, por su atención e implicación, pues eramos un grupo sin experiencia ninguna en Kayak y él estuvo muy pendiente de tod@s nosotr@s, muchísimas gracias
