I highly recommend this tour company. They are so well organized, and have it dialed in to perfection. Their staff absolutely amazing professional, yet a lot of fun. And very handsome young men I must say. The adventure was worth every penny. I know you’ll agree with me.

Had a great time kayaking in the caves. Diego and the others were kind, helpful and knowledgeable. There was more boat traffic than I expected (more than just kayaks) but it was manageable. The swim at the end was amazing! Overall would recommend.

I can’t recommend kayaking in Lagos enough. Exploring hidden caves, and gliding through crystal-clear turquoise waters was an incredible experience. The rock formations were absolutely breathtaking.
Our incredible tour guide Ricardo was super friendly, knowledgeable and made all of us feel safe and relaxed the entire time. He even recommended places to visit & try local foods. 10/10 highly recommend.

We only had one full day in Lagos and decided to book a kayak trip for our main activity. This ended up being the highlight of the whole vacation! The guys who ran the boat were all friendly and professional. Our paddling guide, Diogo, made sure we had a safe and fun excursion. Highly recommend!!

Tour was beautiful. Moved a bit faster than I'd have liked - in and out of each cave in a hurry. Swimming off the boat was a must! You don't exit the kayak at all and the swim after was wonderfully refreshing.

We had a great time on this boat, kayak trip to explore the cliffs near Lagos. The captain and crew did a fantastic job being sure that we were both safe and also enjoying the views. This is a definite do over if we ever get back to Lagos again.

I’ve done this tour twice now with my family and it’s always been great fun. The team are super-friendly and relaxed but your safety is clearly a priority. People usually get themselves into a mess with paddling because they don’t pay attention to the very clear briefing that is given. Even so, everyone is looked after. The guides are excellent and clearly love their history and place, which is evident from their storytelling.

When the itch to be on the water hits, there is no place like inside a kayak in Lagos. The cliffs and water during the summer time in the Algarve Region are majestic. I would highly recommend this tour as they take you up and close to the cliffs to capture the beauty of Portugal's water scene. Jamie was an excellent guide on the water, and the entire crew was great on the boat rides from the cliffs. Book it, one of the best experiences we had in Lagos!

We had a wonderful experience kayaking with our girls ages 7 and 12. We felt safe and the crew went out of their way to check on them as they were the only kids on our tour. Thank you for a fun day!

This was a wonderful afternoon. Our group divided into two boats, took a short ride out near the caves, then launched our kayaks right from the boat. Each set of kayaks had a guide to share facts and make sure we stayed together (there were a lot of other boats/tours out by the caves, some moving quickly, but we always felt very safe).
We kayaked for more than an hour, exploring several caves and learning a lot about them. Then we returned to the boat and had plenty of time to cool off and swim.
The guides and boat drivers were attentive, friendly, and very helpful! It was wonderful to get close to the water and caves.

This is an awesome trip well worth it. The swim afterwards is refreshing. Kayaking is fun . Especially watching the other kayakers with no sense of direction or how to operate the kayaks. But that’s the fun of it. Bring a waterproof camera case.

Ricardo “Adam Sandler” was an absolute riot. We had so much fun on the water and were so lucky to have Ricardo as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the land and you can tell he was born and raised in Lagos. If you can, you must request him as your guide!

It was an amazing experience! We went inside several caves and up close to the cliffs. It was a moderate work out with the paddling but not too much!

Guides are excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time on the kayaks.
The trip is not on a catamaran boat.

Dear customer, Thank you very much for sharing your opinion, it was a pleasure having you

We chose the best kayak tour group in Lagos! The Days of Adventure guides were fun, skilled and knowledgeable, the caves were gorgeous, and jumping in the water from the catamaran after kayaking was a blast!

The crew was awesome! Friendly and knowledgeable. The length of the trip was perfect. Short boat ride, kayaking multiple caves and time to swim. Shade was available on the boat for those who wanted out of the sun. Highly recommend!

Great tour with some interesting facts about the caves. We did this while visiting Algarve region with our 18 year old son and 21 year old daughter. One of the caves was scary as the tide was up and pulled us in so not likely good for young kids.

This experience was top notch! What sets this tour apart from others is that you take a large boat out of the Lagos Marina through the breakwater and past the choppy waters around Lagos. Then, they load you into kayaks while on the boat and push it off the back into the calm waters around Ponta da Piedade — such a smart way to conduct this tour! It’s the perfect way to experience the beautiful cliffs and caves via kayak without it being strenuous or difficult paddling conditions. The crew: Diogo, Simao, Jaime, and Joao were all friendly, helpful, and well informed. Highly recommend this trip for all experience levels!

Good value for money. Great crew, very friendly and helpful. It was good to go out on the boat and go onto the kayaks from the boat. All very easy as the boat winches the kayaks into and out of the sea. Time at the end to jump off the boat and into the sea for a swim.

This was such an amazing experience! I’ve never been kayaking before, but with Ricardo’s instructions and help I got the hang of it pretty quick and it was a lot of fun. The caves were beautiful and it was so cool to be able to experience the views and learn about them while kayaking. We also got to swim after and the boat has an awesome slide. I would definitely recommend!!
