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 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.

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!

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!

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.

Thrilling cave grotto ride

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

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.

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.

Definitely a good value, worth the price and more!

Jacqueline_D, Oct 2025
Definitely worth the price, a fantastic tour! The boats are small enough to get into the caves and tight areas. We felt very safe in these boats, no heavy splashing or getting wet. The tour guide was fantastic!

Wonderful calm boat ride...

ANN_F, Oct 2025
Wonderful calm boat ride 9:30-10:30 am in October. I wore pants and sweatshirt plus cap. It didn’t get cold so I was a bit overdressed. We saw awesome coastline with many caves. Boat captain took us inside caves as much as possible.

Great small boat tour. ...

Ken_P, Oct 2025
Great small boat tour. Were able to go into caves and formations that some of the bigger boats couldn't go in.

An awesome experience

Julian_S, Oct 2025
We saw lots of caves. The boat driver and guide where well informed and had a sense of humour. Although the boat was small it was a smooth ride and allowed us to pass under many arches.

Sept 2025 tour

Randal_R, Sep 2025
Very good tour! Meeting point at train station and very easy to find. Tour guides were very good and expertly maneuvered the tight caves. One annoying matter: after the guide told us we can stand to take pictures, one guest stood and kept standing, thus blocking view for the rest of us. I wish the guide would have told the guest to please sit after taking his picture so the other guests can enjoy. Otherwise, very good outing.

Karen_M, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip. The caption and the host were very informative in explaining how the caves are created. It was so much fun to drive into the caves and be able to see the chimneys and all of the structures. The explanations of each structure were done in a very entertaining manner. We would highly recommend this boat trip.
