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.

We had an amazing time kayaking with our guides! Would recommended over and over! Don’t miss this experience! Our 7 year old was very nervous and refused to get on the kayaks and they let her hang out on the boat so the rest of us could still explore. They were so understanding and kept her entertained and made this experience so much fun for her as well so she didn’t feel like she was missing out. I can’t say enough good things! Jaime, Simão, André and Luís were our guides and they did a phenomenal job. They were very knowledgeable and we felt extremely safe the entire experience. They even gave us recommendations and tips for other things to do in Lagos during our trip.

Fun excursion from the marina to see the caves from a better viewpoint, entering the caves with a max of 6 kayaks. You will get wet from small waves. Have waterproof phone case (or tuck it in your life jacket). 2 people per kayak with an option to swim from the catamaran after kayaking. You don’t need to be good at paddling-the guide will teach you. This was a light to moderate activity.

We are seniors and enjoyed kayaking with the younger crowd and the crew was well organized and attentive. I took the slide off the boat into the water, it was exhilarating and worth it!

Get ready for an adventure! This experience is well worth the $. It's not the easier kayaking but our guide was excellent and made sure everyone was safe and on track. We also learned some history of the area. Shout out to Bruno and the whole crew. They were very professional and kind. Bonus - we saw pods of dolphins up close! Loved this excursion.

Perfect for solo travelers. Instructors very nice and patience! It was my first time kayaking but it was fairly easy to get the hang of it. Afterwards you get to swim and the boat even has a slide!

Due to the tide and rogue waves we could not go into many of the caves - but even so the tour was well worth it. Ricardo was super knowledgeable about the coastline and was a very skilled and humorous guide. Bring a bathing suit if you want to swim. Also an extra pair of shorts for after the kayaking if you want to be dry. 5-star experience!

Great fun! Recommend this tour. Bring a dry bag for cell phone. Bags are available for purchase at check-in for 10€.
Also mid-tide is best time to go. If tide too low can’t go into caves

This is by far the best way to see the stunning cliffs, stacks, beaches, coves and caves. You don’t need to be an experienced kayaker, it’s really easy and the guides are really helpful, fun and knowledgeable of the local area and beyond.

We booked the earliest session, kayaked along the coast and visited many caves and formations. The sun wasn’t blazing hot yet and so it was all very beautiful and relaxing. Our guide was very attentive and nice too :)

Initially signed up for a kayaking tour that was canceled last minute and offered a free trip ne hour boat tour . That was good but the tour guide made a homophonic slur on the trip in Spanish thinking we wouldn’t understand it. Group laughed we were humiliated! Disgusting behavior.

As a solo female traveler, I was a bit nervous about joining the Ponta da Piedade Caves Kayak Tour, especially wondering how they’d fit me in and worrying about my lack of experience. But honestly, this was one of the best parts of my trip!
When I got there, I noticed most people were in pairs, which didn’t help my nerves, but then a trio showed up, and the mood instantly lightened. The staff was warm and welcoming, which made a huge difference. I ended up paired with one of the trio, and our guide, Ricardo (who totally looks like Adam Sandler!), was fantastic. He made sure I felt comfortable and included from the start.
We had a thorough briefing on kayaking techniques and got to know the crew and our fellow travelers. Getting onto the kayaks and into the water from the catamaran was smooth, thanks to the attentive staff. Ricardo was not just witty and fun, but also super knowledgeable. His storytelling enhanced the entire experience!
Overall, I can't recommend Days of Adventure enough. If you're considering this tour, definitely go for it!

Our 9:15 kayak tour was canceled today due to rougj waters. It was just too dangerous to kayak. That said, we still.had a fun time. Our guide, Jamie, and his crew took us on a boat tour of the caves and everyone was amazing.
It wasn't their fault the weather didn't cooperate. They tried to make the best of it and allowed us to take great photos despite not being able to kayak.
When we returned to their office, the gentleman who checked us in kept apologizing. I wanted to rebook the next day, but he said all trips were canceled through Saturday due to the high surf. I feel bad for them, since this is their livelihood and they had a great attitude. I said I'd still give them a great review, and here it is. Book a tour with this warm and friendly crew. Maybe you'll have better luck than we did.

We had a great morning! Andre, our guide was informative and fun! He also had a great sense of humor.
He made our kayak experience memorable! The crew made getting in and out of the water easy and made sure everyone knew how to kayak correctly etc.
I appreciate his concern for safety and overall it was a great day.!

Very smooth, easy and fun. Very well organized. Our friendly and chatty guide, Jaime, made the experience even more enjoyable. We were in the boat only for a few minutes before starting the kayak tour which took us Ali g the beaches and rock formations and through beautiful caves.
Very easy, beginner kayaking, even with a few smaller waves. We got to jump off the boat and swim at the end of the tour.
