The Bengali Caves Adventure tour was a fantastic way to experience the Algarve coast from the ocean. The Bengali Cave itself was stunning and truly breathtaking. The speedboat ride made the experience even more fun and adventurous, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive.

This is a fun trip - quick ride in the speed raft to the Caves which are located down the coast. On the way back to Lagos the captain goes into the caves which are awesome . Funny drivers. Nice way to cool off. Should not visit Lagos without visiting Benagil.

This is a great way to get out on the water in Lagos and see the caves. Definitely wear sunblock and be sure to pack a bag that can hold loose accessories like hats sunglasses etc.

We were rescheduled from 4/29 to 4/30 because of weather. The scheduler was so helpful and kind. She gave us wonderful advice on what to wear when we return the next day. The guides were wonderful as well. Friendly and informative. They gave us an exciting ride! There’s nothing like seeing a beautiful place from the water.

Caves were fascinating and beautiful, boat guide was very informative about the caves, polite and helped with picture’s. Boat ride going to caves was fine , however coming back the ride was very rough due to the waves and windy. But still a great experience to see.

It was good experience, it could have been made great if they had helped us to move around when inside the caves and get some pictures. It was people only at certain positions could get better pictures.

Very nice cruise up the coast and to get information about the caves. Awesome to go in the Benagil cave. Perfect clear day with blue skies. Water was quite rough so a bumpy ride getting there. Calmer on the way back

T was an awesome guide and Andre was an excellent skipper and great driver. Highly recommend. Safe boat, life jackets for everybody and felt safe with kids on the boat. Better than other boats we saw in similar tours.

Did not disappoint -- we explored more caves than we expected -- good close exposure to interior of caves - great opportunities for photos. One observation - sitting on right side of the boat provided better opportunities for photographs of the shoreline on return trip to the marina. Company/staff focus on safety was noted and appreciated.

Booked this trip with my wife & her friend - Very good communication on the confirmation and meeting location. Great / Smooth ride out across the bay and to the Caves. Was able to get the RIB Boat into the Caves for pictures & our guide was great explaining the area and the different Caves & Grottos + Benagil Old town...
Highly recommended but try to book in the Am trips when the wind & swells are lighter... Cheers from Canada, Eh

Tour is about an hour as it takes about 30 minutes to drive by boat there and 30 back. Tour is very interesting as you literally pull inside a lot of the rock formations. Seats were a little uncomfortable. Would be nice just to let rows or something stand for a second to stretch. My tailbone was killing me. I know it could be a safety issue but I’m sure people standing in rows wouldn’t rock the boat.

We took the 11:00am tour. Very well organized .started with waiting in and common area next to the marina in the shade which was great. Once organized we headed to our boat and loaded quickly. Once on our way we hit the ocean and as indicated a Speed boat trip the captain hit the throttle and the fun began. This trip was fantastic and did not disappoint. If you like the thrill of a fast boat , you got it.
We finally arrive at the caves with quite a few different locations. All I can say is do this tour!!. The boat operator and 2nd mate were fantastic.about 2 full hours. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these amazing caves

Ivu the tour guide was amazing giving us loads of details, news, history of the surrounding and even in a funny way sometimes!
The tour really nice unfortunately wasn’t too sunny so the pictures on the cave was less colourful then I was expecting
But really satisfied on the over roll
5 star to the company and the experience

If you want to explore the caves without having to kayak or spend a lot of time sailing there this is a great option. You will definitely need a jacket/sweatshirt to stay warm and a camera to capture the amazing sights. The speedboat skippers were very nice.

Promised everyone proper time to take photos but didn't do so. It was more time getting slammed around by the boat ride than time in the cave
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Dear customer, we apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations. It is marketed as a speed boat tour, and the time spent in the cave is always limited - it is a highly sought out touristic attraction and maritime tour operators are not permitted to spend much time inside. Thank you, The Days of Adventure Team.

What a fun adventure. The speed. Just out to the caves was wild! Once we got to all the caves it was breathtaking. Going into the darkest cave was amazing— your eyes adjust and a whole new world opens up. I would do this again. You can tell the guides have fun as the 2 boats raced each other. Don’t miss this.

Great looks at the caves, personally the other caves were even better than Benagil. Great views of the coastline.
