We love this as it’s not crowded. We were only 6 people in the boat and your guide really talked about the history of all the caves we have gone through. Since the boat is small, we were able to go to tiny caves which was exciting and breathtaking. The great part about this is they’re able to make an exception for us since we missed it the previous day due to unexpected circumstances and they allowed us to join the tour the next day. So grateful for them.
I highly recommend this tour!!!

The tour was wonderful. The wind may make it cooler than expected. The cliffs and the grottos were great.
I sat in the first row of the boat and sometimes I couldn’t hear what the guide was saying, therefore I missed some of the explanations and history.

We took the tour with 'super mario' & Gabriel; it was an absolute hoot and 10/10 would do it again. The best money spent in Lagos. Mario & Gabriella has us both in fits of laughter, very entertaining, as well as information about Lagos. Bring cash for tips! They don't ask, but you'll want to, we promise!

Even though the weather prevented us from completing the full tour, Simon and Louis made the experience absolutely fantastic! They were not only knowledgeable but also hilarious, keeping everyone entertained while sharing interesting facts about the area. Their energy and enthusiasm really made up for the shortened trip. I would absolutely recommend this tour—great guides and a fun, memorable experience!

This was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in my life. Exceptional way to view the most stunning cliffs in all of Europe (my opinion). Meeting point at the Lagos Marina was so easy with parking and bathrooms available. Days of Adventure is easy to find and very low key. The boat is quite small (we were like 8 people + captains) and totally open which gives you incredible views of the cliffs. The tour starts right off from the canal past the public market and all of a sudden you are at Praia de Batata and it only gets better from there all the way down to Ponta da Piedade. You go super close to the cliffs and inside the grottos and caves which was incredible. I didn’t think we would get so close but major points to our captains for positioning the boat expertly. Even with decent swells (3-4 feet+) they handled the boat perfectly and timed the waves expertly. The water is beautiful and the cliffs are spectacular. I couldn’t believe we could get so close. It was a perfect hour, the boys have it down to a science. Highly recommend.

We were fortunate to have the tour with just our family of four. Both the guide and the boat driver were very friendly and shared their knowledge of the area. It was a great way to see the beautiful Algarve coast.
