This was an amazing excursion and I really recommend it! The staff were all really nice, super helpful, and fun. The views were great and it was a nice day out on the water. Drinks and games were available on the catamaran which was nice. The staff had ginger on board and helped one person who got sea sick. They were prepared! The captain (Rui?) helped my friends and I out when we encountered some problems getting back to our Airbnb after. He also made some great restaurant recommendations (crab curry in Alvor was delicious!)

Despite the sea being rough with large swell, the excellent crew made every effort to maintain our comfort and ensure we had a good time. Including letting us know and offering refunds before the excursion. Service was excellent with knowledgeable crew and a very comfortable boat. I would definitely recommend them.

It is a good experience. But lot of people on the boat and only 2 paddle boards for the whole group. They were advertising snorkeling material which is a misstatement. The stop to jump into the water is at least 75 minutes of the tour. The spot where they stop is not that beautiful (not close to a coast where you could swim and cliff dive for instance). The water was at 64 degrees, quite cold.
I recommend this tour if you are a group of young friends wanting to have drinks and fun.
The catamaran is nice and they play good music. But there is not much more!

We had a wonderful time with our family. The boat was spacious and clean. Boarding process was smooth. Captain and crew were accommodating.

The Catamaran Cruise was such a blast! We had a fantastic time. The crew was amazing, helpful, and friendly. It was so much fun!
Isabelle_D, Jun 2025
A relaxing way to see the coast line from the waters. If you want to get close and personal with the cliffs grottos would recommend kayaking option. The catamaran can get crowded if you’re trying to get that perfect picture. The crew was great and washrooms clean. We did not use the paddle boards snorkeling gear etc. So cannot comment on the quality of the gear.

This was a very relaxing afternoon. The boat is nice, the crew is friendly. The itinerary was perfect for seeing the coastline and getting to play in the water. The bar drinks were good. Overall a really great experience!

We had a blast! Beautiful day and nice catamaran! Crew was friendly and very helpful. Plenty of options for food and drink ($). Clean washroom onboard. Fun to stop and have a chance to swim.

We had a great time on the catamaran! We enjoyed sunshine, beautiful views of the coast line, and a fun time swimming and enjoying the paddle boards and inflatable games provided. The crew was wonderful! Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to experience Lagos from the ocean!
Brenda_K, Sep 2024
Great trip! We really enjoyed using the paddle boards. Not sure about the snorkeling part as we didn’t really see much. The crew was extremely friendly and kind!
Macey_M, Sep 2024
This was a wonderful inexpensive trip for three hours of fun!! It was very interesting to learn about the coast but also had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery with your group. It was a rocky day out on the water so we stopped in the river to swim - I’m sure the Luz would’ve been incredible, but I’m happy we got the opportunity to still play in the water despite the conditions. Great tour guide and staff!
Morgan_B, Sep 2024
The cruise was incredibly fun and relaxing. We loved how we were able to swim and paddle board and the bar on board was a plus. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly.
Maddie_M, Sep 2024
Our favorite day in the Algarve! The boat was spacious, the crew was great, the view was amazing, and the hour long swim was a blast. Book it!

Great way to spend an afternoon off the Lagos coast. Loved being able to swim for a good amount of time and all the staff were great!
Kenneth_M, Jun 2024
I didn’t know what to expect and it was better than I expected. There was a canopy over the middle of the catamaran and rest rooms on board.
The trip took us past the beaches and caves and then we got a chance to swim and relax before heading back to the marina.
It was a delightful way to see the shore from the ocean and get some beautiful pictures and an idea what each beach has to offer.

A Catamaran cruise was a great way to view Lagos’ beautiful coastline and an opportunity to see the uniqueness a little closer. The team on board were friendly and engaging with the crowd on deck - with added water games and challenges which were good fun. A range of fresh cocktails were available for purchase which was an added nice surprise.
Michael_S, Jun 2024
The address provided by Viator was meaningless and incorrect. We guessed where to go and then showed our tickets to another local sea service who recognized it was a DISCOVERY water experience, and she told us where to find them. Good thing we left early, and we got there just in time. “Discovery” was no where on our paperwork or email.
Once on the boat, it was a wonderful experience. The crew was knowledgeable and accommodating with providing snacks and bar drinks for sale - even a blanket for the strong winds. And this IS a windy area, so count on needing a jacket even in summer.
You’ll get to see several rock formations from the water that are just stunning.

The boat was excellent, and the crew was very accommodating. Would definitely tour with them again. 10/10

It was a good trip, unfortunately the weather was cold and grey with occasional sunshine. But i know if the weather was good the trip would have been perfect. The crew was very friendly and kind and the explanations during the trip were clear.

Highly recommend this boat trip! A gorgeous boat with exceptional and knowledgeable staff. We had a wonderful day
Lucy_C, Sep 2023
We had a fantastic time on this tour. The crew were very friendly and we were very lucky with the weather on the day. Although a bit windy, we had beautiful sunshine and the crew found a nice sheltered spot for us to anchor and swim at! Tour departed and arrived back on time too. Would highly recommend.

Interesting information about the caves and rock formations.
Great spot to stop and swim / enjoy the water.
The crew were lovely and great with the children - especially when taking them on the dinghy with outboard and knocking the grown ups of the paddle boards with the waves - the children had the best time!
Have done this trip twice. Both times different, but both excellent.
