A lot is packed into this boat trip. I enjoyed riding on the RIB. It made the adventure more fun. Thought we could navigate smaller spaces and also provided an exciting ride for those who chose to ride in front.

This was an incredible experience!! It was fun and exciting, and our tour guides pointed out so many different things along the way! We went into a lot more caves than just Benagil and the drivers made the ride so fun! We even saw dolphins! Definitely a highlight of our entire trip to Portugal! We would highly recommend books with Days of Adventure!!

The tour was so much more than visiting the Benagil Cave (which is magnificent!) , we went in and out of multiple caves, and were able to see many of the seaside towns and villages while our tour guides and captains shared about them.
I would recommend sitting in. the front row, because you won’t get other people in your pictures - even though it’s a little bumpier there then the back - it would feel like you’re getting a private tour. Also they said the mornings are a lot less crowded at the caves (anyone can take their boat to them not just tour boats), so if you can go early.
And definitely go!

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

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
