    Marcio was a knowledgeable guide and told us a bit of history about the caves that we wouldn’t have known without the tour. I would definitely recommend this unique way to experience the caves! Crista

    The stand up paddle boarding with Mario was incredible! He was an informative and guide- my sister and I felt like we were in good hands having never paddle boarded on the ocean before. We felt safe and had a great time! I highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat!

    Such a great experience! So glad we decided to do this rather than a boat. Felt way more authentic and intimate. Got to go in a bunch of caves which was kind of creepy but also very cool. Felt very safe and the guide is top notch. 15 out of 10 stars!

    Excellent teacher from I ❤️ SUP. Great family time on the boards exploring the caves. Good fun. Glad there weren’t too many more boats though. A definite recommendation. Small beach bar and a toilet.

    Marcia was a fantastic tour guide. He brought us to all the cool caves that were not flooded with tourists. We then ended the trip in the “Instagram cave” I highly recommend to anyone planning to visit Benagil!
