This was an amazing tour! Guide spoke great English, and the driver was super skilled. Small boat meant you can go inside the different caves, which was awesome, and also kept the group small as there were only 10 people on our boat. Highly recommend!

We followed the coastline and went in and out of many of the caves. Luis and Mariana were excellent guides! She provided some history of the area and detailed information about the caves. It is SO beautiful to see from the water. This is a must-do activity! Highly recommend!

Blue Fleet provided the perfect tour.

Gordon_H, Jul 2026
Wonderful and short boat tour. We were taken west along the coast, shown all the beaches, and were entertained.

Breathtaking sights

Brittney_S, Jul 2026
This was incredible. The scenery here was breathtaking and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The skipper got us into every one of the caves and prompted us for how to see the best views. It was the perfect amount of time out on the water and the tour guide had some nice details to share about the coast.

A big thank you to Rita...

Greta_V, Jun 2026
A big thank you to Rita and our boat driver for a fantastic tour to Ponte da Piedade. Rita shared interesting information about the rock, and the boat driver safely guided us through the caves despite the waves. The tour was enjoyable, professional, and well organized. Highly recommended! Greetings from Lithuania! 🇱🇹😊

Worth the time to go.

Lynn_M, Jun 2026
Very nice excursion. The guide was very pleasant. She was knowledgeable and funny. The length of the excursion was perfect.

Great guides, lots to see

Steven_M, Jun 2026
This was an excellent tour. We got to see a lot of the grottos and our driver was very skilled in navigating us through the arches. Our tour guides were very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth doing when visiting Lagos.

Great tour!

Hannah_R, Jun 2026
This was an awesome tour right out of the Lagos marina. This was a small group with a smaller boat, so we were able to go into some of the smaller caves and get closer to some of the cliffs that a bigger boat or kayakers would have struggled with. Highly reccomend!!

This was a nice calm boat...

Payal_J, Jun 2026
This was a nice calm boat ride through the grottos of ponta da piedade. The tour guides explained places we were passing by and their significance. Overall, a great time and fun to go through different caves and arched rocks.

Don't Miss in Lagos

MarkJ, May 2026
The boat was perfect size...under 10 passengers. Captain Antonio was spectacular, fitting into spaces that seemed impossible. Scenery we have never seen before. Highly, highly recommend.

Spectacular

Kara_A, May 2026
Excellent tour of caves and coastline. Included history, humor, and local insight. Highlight of our trip. Family w young adults.

Great Experience

StevenBrent_W, May 2026
Great experience. Sraff were wonderful and helpful. Amazing views of the grotto. They take you in at least a dozen.

This was such a fun...

Fyse_J, May 2026
This was such a fun experience! Very easy-to-find pick up spot with very friendly employees! Our Skipper was Luís and our Guide was Mariana and both funny, kind, and knowledgeable. This is the best way to see the coast and the various beaches of Lagos especially if you don’t want to spend half of your day in the water. Total experience was about 1.5 hours and we were able to see everything we wanted to. I would highly recommend!

Must do in Lagos

NITIN_D, Apr 2026
Tour well organized. Guides were pleasant and knowledgable. Crowded in parts with other tours. Would be better with audio device as the listening to guides was difficult.

More Algarve coastline is always better

Patricia_S, Apr 2026
A great 90 min exploration of the coastal grottoes from Lagos, well run. A gentler ride than similar tours of the coastal grottoes further east, it allows more cave entrances and a different feel. Do both!

Excellent captain and Informative guide

Heather_J, Apr 2026
The whole process was well organized and the boat was clean and comfortable. The pictures show few people in the boat but we had 10. You could still see well but pictures are a bit misleading.

Great Experience

Gbemi_O, Apr 2026
Lovely experience with Mariana and Luis. Highly recommended. We got to learn a lot more about Lagos and the caves as we sailed with them. They were friendly and knowledgeable.

Great boat tour

Homer_A, Apr 2026
Great boat tour - beautiful to see the grottos and rock structures along the coast from water level. Totally different perspective from walking the boardwalks above! Informative, friendly tour guides.

Cave boat tour

Mabs_C, Apr 2026
Excellent short trip round the caves and marina departure. The tour guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

Boat Tour Ponta da Piedade

Belinda_B, Mar 2026
The boat tour was awesome. The guides were friendly, knowledgable and very skilled operating the boat through small caves and inlets. They made it lots of fun!

The tour itself was...

Diane_W, Mar 2026
The tour itself was great. Very informative and entertaining. However, we were not notified of the time change. Our ticket said 11:00 and to show up 15 minutes early. We arrived at 10:45 and found out that the tour time had changed to 10:45 and that the boat had already left. We had to wait an hour for the next tour.

We had a wonderful tour...

David_M, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful tour of the caves and cliffs. Although seas were rough and we were warned that we may not be able to enter some caves, our crew did get into one which was a great experience. The crew were professional and very pleasant. The opportunity to see these magnificent cliffs and caves was fantastic experience. Highly recommend

Excellent tour and guides

Shalu_K, Dec 2025
Excellent tour on a small boat to Ponta da Piedade caves. Great guide who explained everything. Since it was a decent and small boat with approximately 10 people, they were able to take the boat inside the caves and that took our experience to entirely another level. Going home with great memories of this adventure.

Thrilling cave grotto ride

Kathleen_B, Dec 2025
It will be roller coaster like fun! Plan to get a little wet and have many hoots and howls of thrill and excitement!

Highly recommend

Brad_H, Dec 2025
Knowledgeable, friendly and funny staff. Would recommend to anyone that wants a great experience sight seeing the coast of Lagos

Amazing trip - holiday highlight.

Carmel_R, Nov 2025
Book early in your holiday as your trip may be postponed due to rough sea conditions. We booked for Tuesday and went on Friday. Viator emailed our new passes as they were notified by Blue Fleet office in Lagos - located at train station. It was a truly memorable experience.

Great boat ride

Maria_S, Oct 2025
We enjoyed the 1 hour boat ride. The captain got us into lots of little caves. The guide told us some history of the area and the names of the beaches we were passing. There weren’t too many other boats and kayaks in the water which made the excursion even more pleasant.

Great tour!

Mark_R, Oct 2025
Great tour! The guide was great and the boat captain did a great job getting us up close to the caves.

Ponta da Piedade

smileyterri101, Oct 2025
Oh wow, don’t miss this experience when coming to Lagos Portugal. The rock formations the beauty unbelievable. Lots of fun fax and information about the area. Not to mention the closeness to the grotto that you get to experience with this adventure.

Stunning Coastal Tour

Priscilla_A, Oct 2025
We loved visiting the area on a smaller boat, because we were able to get into areas where the larger boats could not. The guides were very knowledgeable and made the ride fun and educational.
