Highly recommend this kayak trip. The group size of 9 people plus guide was perfect. The scenery is amazing - views that can only be seen by boat. We went into lots of little caves. The guide was great and made it really fun, explained the names of the beaches and caves we saw, told little stories along the way. If you want to take pictures be sure to have a waterproof cover for your phone and strap for your neck. We also had good opportunity to take pics of cliffs from big boat that carried us to start point and back from end of kayaking. Kayaked with current, so very easy.

Good kayak tour of the grottoes at Lagos. Kayaks are lightweight and wide. Perfect for ocean waters. Great tour guide.

This relatively short activity-based tour will be one of the highlights of our visit to the Algarve. Our morning timing was fortunate as the tide, sea and weather conditions all aligned to provide an optimal experience.
The small group size (12) was ideal allowing everyone to hear our guide while in their kayaks.
Safety was stressed, assistance given if needed but a sense of adventure was created. The beautiful cliffs, arches and caves were magnificent. Seeing them from our positions on the water while getting a bit of exercise was top notch. Highly recommended.

Staff was friendly
Unfortunately, sea was too rough for kayaks so trip was ultimately cancelled which was disappointing but certainly out of staff control

Such a great experience, we had so much fun! Everyone on the boat was super friendly and kind. We enjoyed swimming after the kayaking even though the water was freezing!

This was by far the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Even though my wife is a non swimmer, the kayaks are safe and easily manoeuvred. The guide was great with a good sense of humour.

Loved kayaking in and out of multiple caves- weather and scenery was beautiful. Cold swim at the end. Easy to get in and out of kayaks- seat was wet by the end

Really a lot of fun and very informative. Went through a couple of cool caves and grottos. Boat ride out was fun too. Staff knew what they were doing. I recommend it

They made sure we were safe when the waves were too big to go on the trip and accommodated us on another day.

Lots of fun. Terrific guide who was fun and knowledgeable. Entering the caves was very enjoyable. We highly recommend this experience provider.

This was a great experience. 2 person kayaks were easy to use and not very strenuous. We're able to enter the caves with the tour guide. Highly recommend

Wonderful tandem kayak experience. We visited caves that we had not seen previously on our RIB boat tour so felt this was well worth it. The boat ride was relaxing. Nice dip in the water at the end to cool off before the ride back.

This was a very fun tour. The staff were very kind and helpful. It was a great way to see the caves up close.
BRIAN_K, Aug 2025
Tour was only 1.5 hours. No water as advertised. Most times could not hear guide and description of where we were and what we were seeing.
Mandy_G, Aug 2025
Great tour, cool guide. The katamaran brings you near the rocks and from there you start with the kayak. Several highlights: the rocks and caves as well as the swimming time at the end of the tour. Suitable for everyone, also for untrained and unexperienced folks. Good music on the katamaran, too. We definitely recommend it!
Andrea_H, Aug 2025
Fantastic adventure with kajaks. The guids where very friendly. They guide us safety to the caves. We had a lot of fun. At the end we could swim in the could ozean.
Jodi_B, Aug 2025
Awesome experience! So glad I did it! Definitely worthwhile. Guides were super friendly and informative!! Some previous paddling experience would be helpful, especially on days when water is more rough.
Jeannette_M, Aug 2025
Very fun 2 hour trip kayaking along the beautiful cliffs and caves! Highly recommend this tour if you want to get out on the water
Shauna_S, Aug 2025
The kayaking was awesome!!! It was a great time and definitely a highlight for us! I only wish it was longer.

Kathleen_T, Jul 2025
This was by far one of the most incredible tours we have ever done! It was exhilarating and adventurous! I encourage everyone to give it a go you’ll be so pleased with yourself! Our tour guide was top-notch and professional all the way. it definitely helped ease our anxiety.
Craig_H, Jul 2025
Very cool experience. Our guide, captain and lifeguard were very pleasant. I felt it was much better than seeing the caves from a boat
Deborah_F, Jul 2025
This was a total blast! The boat cre
w is fabulous! They make you feel at ease from the start whether you are a novice or an experienced kayaker. We went in and out of caves, under arches that the water levels allowed and around the stone edipices that loom out in the water. Since the ocean was fairly calm, we got to go out even further and see one more cave. This is a must do in Lagos. A perspective you can only get from the water by kayak or small boat. Just remember to tip your guides well. They deserve it!
Deborah_K, Jul 2025
We had a great time today in this trip. We met up at the train station and it was a quick trip to the dock, we got into the boat right away and left within minutes. The trip was great and the places we visit where so beautiful. Our guides were so sweet and gave us very clear instructions in English and Portuguese. After the tour we had some time on the boat to swim and enjoy the water. We got back to the dock on time and very happy with this experience.
Cindy_J, Jul 2025
an amazing worthwhile experience that everyone should try while in Lagos. very pleasant and knowledgable staff. Perfect two hours out on the water.

Captain , skipper, and everyone else was wonderful. Experience was beautiful. Temp was a bit chilly so water was cold…. so opted not to go in but kayaking was amazing and skipper was hilarious. Would def recommend :)

Unforgettable kayak experience! If you love to kayak, don’t miss this! Lots of beautiful caves, cliffs and beaches to see.
Melissa_G, Jun 2025
Wow! What an amazing experience! You must do this in Lagos! I was a bit nervous because I am a beginner kayaker. The tour was small and I felt very safe. We took the morning tour when the wind and sea are calm. The caves were so beautiful.

The entire Blue Fleet team made our kayak experience the best part of our Portugal trip. So much fun and highly recommended !
