The crew was very accommodating, spoke multiple languages. It was a lovely day on the water. The coastal cruise was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the views, relax a little and have fun! Easy to get to . We met up at the Lagos train station then just a 2 minute walk to the marina where we hopped on the boat. Clean bathroom! Highly recommended!

This was our second time taking this tour. We enjoyed it so much both times. Took our kids 5 & 6 they loved it! Got to swim for an hour. The boat is great as it’s super spacious. The staff is great and super nice! Offered to take our photos. Can’t wait to come back next year.

After spending a day exploring the cliffs and beaches by land, this boat tour was a fabulous way to take in the beauty of the cliffs and beaches by water. This two-and-a-half-hour tour was the perfect amount of time. The staff was tremendous. The Lagos Train Station was an excellent meeting point and was just a short walk to the boat. The boat was big enough to accommodate the group of 20 of 25 but small enough to get up close to the cliffs and into some caves. The boat was smooth, quiet and clean. The restroom and bar were an outstanding addition to the experience. The tour was capped off by 30 minutes of swimming and a sample of some local Port wine. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Alexandra_S, Sep 2026
It's a nice tour on a bigger boat, replete with a bar and a very clean bathroom facility. They take you by, and point out, a few of the best beaches along the way. We were able to drive into one of the sea caves but otherwise mostly just viewing from close by. The highlight for most folks was finding a nice place to swim and we did that for about 45ish minutes. All in all, good value for money. Very nice and welcoming crew!

Beautiful but a little...

Lisa_M, Sep 2026
Beautiful but a little choppy. After the sightseeing there wasn’t much else except a ride to a calm spot to swim for an hour. Was nice to be on the boat on a beautiful sunny warm day.

The reviews are misleading

Alexis_T, Sep 2026
I had high expectations based upon previous reviews I had read. The staff was nice and all but it was a pretty boring trip. We briefly sailed past a few beaches then looped around to an area for us to swim for over an hour, then headed back to port. They had a playlist on loop for the duration of the trip. If you’re looking for a very very very relaxed day then great, if you’re looking for some, any kind of excitement - this tour is not it.

Day out with friends

Janette_S, Sep 2026
Great trip. Very relaxed. Travelled around the caves then had about 1hr to swim.we all really enjoyed the 3hrs.

Great tour!

Harlee_L, Aug 2026
This tour was soooo much fun. I really didn’t know what to expect but it was blown out of the park. The staff is so kind and helpful, the boat was nice and spacious. There’s a bar, top level, bottom, inside. I loved how they allocated time to swim; that was the highlight for me. Overall they all went above and beyond. Shoutout to my girl Fifi for being the best.

Lovely day on the water!

Lagos Coast and Caves Boat Tour

Aaron_T, Jul 2026
Wonderful cruise/tour of the coastline, grottos/caves. We chose the bigger boat tour, so this was not a cruise through the caves tour, which was excellent. Absolutely 10/10 recommend. DO THE SWIM TIME if weather permits. I will hope to have the chance to visit Lagos again someday.

Great cruise. Saw...

Benjamin_H, Jul 2026
Great cruise. Saw beautiful shoreline, dolphins, and had a great swim. Captain and crew were fantastic.

Coastal tour Lagos

Jean_M, Jul 2026
Super way to spend an afternoon in Lagos. The scenery along the coast is magnificent. They moor in clam waters and you can get off and swim which is very enjoyable. Then the tour goes along by the caves and stops close to them for you to take in the view. The tour guides on the boat are so friendly and fun and informative. The boat is comfortable with bar/snack service and is suitable even for small children. Loved it!

Catamaran trip a must!

Dianna_C, Jul 2026
Must do activity! Coastline is absolutely stunning as well as the beaches! Well worth the value, you will not be disappointed .

Great trip!

Zachary_R, Jun 2026
Great experience. Big boat with top and lower levels, bathroom & bar onboard. Awesome views. Crew was great, too.

Wild and exciting ride, but well worth it

Mike_d, Jun 2026
If the swell is running rough then it’s going to be a little up and down, but that’s mother nature. Staff to their best, based on the sea conditions, but its always safety first, but you really get up and close

Great time, spectacular views

Joel_E, Jun 2026
A great way to check out the beautiful coastline from the sea. Relaxing and enjoyable while viewing a spectacular coastline

So wonderful!

Emma_S, May 2026
We had such a lovely time! The crew was amazing and so kind. Sit up at the front if you want to lay out in the sun. Wine was very well priced. There were some dolphins around and the crew made sure we got to see them up close. Everything was perfect! Cannot recommend enough!

cancellation not completed

Irene_P, May 2026
This trip got cancelled due to bad weather. However this was not cancelled through Viatour. They called me to reschedule the booking. It was a very confusing experience.

Highly recommend

Sara_B, May 2026
We highly recommend this tour. They recovered our hat that fell in the water. They are accommodating, knowledgeable, and kind.

An experience to renember

JOHN_T, May 2026
From the meeting point till when we departed the boat, the experience was first class. The crew were wonderful, the guide was knowledgeable and made us laugh with his history of the coastline. The two and a half hours flew by and the stop in calm waters to let anyone who wanted to swim in the sea or just enjoy a quiet drink and take in the amazing view was a highlight. We got plenty of stunning photographs of our visit to this beautiful part of Portugal. Thank you to everyone at Bluefleet ocean tours!

Great Trip

Coastal Cruise

Deirdre_B, Oct 2025
The captain and crew were knowledgeable and safe given the number of boats and kayaks in the water. The cliffs and caves were spectacular and we had a bonus sighting of dolphins! Highly recommend this 2.5 hour costal cruise!

Great trip

Diane_S, Oct 2025
Great view of the Lagos coastal line plus a new boardwalk for us to investigate. Lovely ride along the caves with comfy seats

Beyond expectations

John_P, Sep 2025
The staff was wonderful, very well organized and the experience was beyond our expectations. When the captain found out that there was a dolphins swimming he immediately changed course so that we could see them.
