We both are so glad to select this tour. It start slow sailing by different formations. Although it was a big boat, the captain was good to get very close to arches and caves. Then, it takes a private bay with a small sand beach. We can enjoy water chillness before the party begin. Bottomless wine, small appetizer and roasted chicken. All staff are very friendly. Everything was great!

We absolutely loved this 4 hour boat tour in Lagos! The boat is very spacious and the food was delicious. We were able to see all the caves then had a substantial swim stop in the most beautiful water. The staff was very nice, and we had the best day!

This tour was a top highlight during our trip to Portugal. The process from booking to boarding the boat was extremely easy. Our hosts were lovely, the views were spectacular, food and drinks were delicious, and you have to take a swim to understand the sheer mass of Ponte da Piedade. Obrigada Blue Fleet team! We will definitely do this again.

Ashley_O, Sep 2026
So much fun. The hosts were fantastic, the vibes immaculate and the food delectable. The boat was well equipped with a large bathroom, which can easily be used to change into your swimsuit. The water is cold at first but once the initial shock wears off it was great!

Solid experience but expected more

April_I, Aug 2026
It was fun to cruise, jump in the water and have lunch. But I wish we got to see more and had other places to swim. I was expecting more.

Must do if in Lagos!!

Julia_S, Aug 2026
One of the best parts of our trip! We had so much fun, we were able to get a full tour of the beaches in Lagos and have a chance to swim and explore an area we wouldn’t get to normally. The guys were so kind and helpful and was just an all around fun day, we didn’t want it to end!!

Great cruise along amazing Algarve coast line and exceptional crew

Brian_C, Aug 2026
Great option for those who are not comfortable taking a kayak or small boat. This boat can't go into all the caves but still a very close up view of the various rock formations and coast line. The crew provided wonderful service with small Lunch, snacks any plenty of beverages. There is time for a swim in the brisk waters as well.

A must-do activity when in Lagos!

Sheldon_M, Aug 2026
This was an awesome experience in Lagos for us. The cruise is so well-planned with activities that are exciting and engaging. The cruise sailed along the coast of Lagos, we got to see the cliffs and caves. Then the boat anchored and we snacks and drinks were served. Soon hot lunch was served which was delicious along with open bar. There was also time for guests to swim and spend some time in the water which was so much fun. The crew was friendly and they kept the environment very friendly and party-like. This was the highlight of our visit to Lagos and we highly recommend all who visit Lagos to do this. Thank you Blue Fleet team!

I definitely can recommend this tour. I believe it's one of the best in Lagos.

Anna_R, Aug 2026
Good value for money. The catamaran is big enough to comfortable accommodate guests. It comes very close to the reefs. The food and drinks are of good quality. Toilet is clean. Safety briefings would be good to have before cat leaves the marina.

Wonderful kid friendly excursion!

Jennifer_B, Aug 2026
We’ve been on multiple boat tours in different countries and this was by far our best experience. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke fluent English as well as Portuguese. They were playful and eager to entertain our twin 7yr olds. The length of the trip was perfect. Gorgeous scenic sea scapes and cliffs followed by a lengthy anchor time which provided plenty of time to swim and relax. Note that the water was COLD, lol. We had yet to visit the beaches in the Algarve yet so we were a bit unprepared but that did not stop the kids! They also provided 2 floating rafts off the back of the boat which made for a great swim rest and tanning bed. The beach was within swimming distance and several people are the swim to the hidden private beach. Very cool. A snack plate of meat, cheese, and bread paired well with the open bar of beer and wine. The kids enjoyed unlimited soda as well. Lunch was grilled chicken, salad, and chips. All the food was of great quality and value. We’d happily do this trip again!! Highly recommend 💜

Excellent time!

We had a great time cruising the coastline. The captains were friendly, fun and engaging with everyone!

Beautiful excursion!

Sara_B, Aug 2026
A very nice and beautiful day trip. Friendly staff and amazing views. We didn’t think the boat was going to go so close to the cliff’s so that was a pleasant surprise. Ok lunch (grilled chicken) with a plate of cheese and sausages to start, and delicious melon for dessert. Wine, beer and sodas are available. Clean and large bathroom. Bring sunscreen and good shoes for a slippery boat. The water is pretty cold but refreshing.

Perfect for multi-generational families!

Simone_W, Jul 2026
Lovely trip - perfect to bring my 83 year old mother as well as my young adult children. Staff were great, very nice views and delicious food. The open bar was also a success! A holiday highlight for sure.

LOVED Blue Cruise!!!!!

Lise_B, Jul 2026
We had an EXCELLENT experience on this trip! Eduardo was perfect in describing what we were seeing on our way out! Cesar drove the boat so expertly and we got VERY close to caves in a completely safe way. The views were gorgeous and when we stopped for lunch it was a calm area and many people chose to swim. There was a family with several kids and I loved watching them! Lunch was DELICIOUS chicken with beer, wine, and soft drinks. I highly recommend Blue Cruise for this activity! All staff were highly skilled and very personable! I LOVED this!!!!!

Scenic Beauty

Taji_Z, Jul 2026
Went with my family- it was a hot day so being on the water was perfect. The boat was large so we couldn’t get into any of the grottos so I would recommend doing that. This experience was great though as we anchored and could spend a bunch of time in the water. The food was also delicious!
