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.

Ricardo was the absolute best guide you could ask for. Made the trip entertaining and informative at the same time. Would highly recommend over any sort of motorized boat tour as this one lets you get closer to all the sites

Alfonso our tour guide was great! He was very friendly and witty and let us explore as long as we wanted on the kayaks. Ricardo our boat driver was also great, and let us swim after as long as we wanted. The whole crew was great!

Fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, professional and upbeat! Unfortunately included a lot less kayaking than expected but it could’ve been due to water conditions/experience of other group members, etc..I’m not really sure and don’t think that should cause a lower review, just included to manage expectations. His goal was to keep us safe, and there was never a moment of doubt about his expertise. Also, the slide was super fun!

Perfect afternoon on the boat and sea kayaks - our local guide was knowledgeable and funny. It was a great way to see the coast (and then we did the boardwalk hike after). We were warned to go early in the day to avoid congestion, but 11am in late Sept worked perfectly. At the end, our guide gave us a comprehensive list of what to do/stay/eat in Lagos, Porto, and Lisbon.
Would highly recommend this trip and Days Adventure Tour group.

This experience was great! My husband and I took this tour last week and loved it. I was a little nervous to kayak with a group and I felt I might fall behind however everything was perfect. The team on the boat was so friendly and made the whole process so smooth. We had a great time and would definitely book with Days of Adventure again. 10/10 recommend.

Really helpful with our questions before booking and felt totally reassured.
Had a great time. Well looked after on the boat and out kayaking. It was a brilliant way to see the caves. Also time for a swim off the boat if you wanted to.
Great crew and guide. Highly recommend.

Kayak ponta da piedade was a good experience overall. But, that was because of the boat crew and our tour guide on the water, Jamie. The coastline was beautiful, but the water was rough which made it less enjoyable. However, our guide was wonderful and calm while he kept pointing out areas of interest on the coast line . The check in staff were rude, and not helpful at all. It felt like we were just a herd, or another euro to this business. It would have been better if kayak guides took some pictures along the coastline and shared later with customers. This part of the algarve was very scenic but not sure I’d recommend this tour group

The whole sign-in process with Days of Adventure was quick, easy and very well organised from the start.
I had Diogo, Simao and Gabriel as our guides, and they were fantastic. Diogo was incredibly knowledgeable, informative and funny — even while we were out in the water! He made the whole experience fun, relaxed and enjoyable.
The kayaking experience at the Benagil Caves was absolutely amazing. The caves and coastline were spectacular, and seeing them from the water made the experience absolutely unforgettable.
And the bonus after the swim was super awesome! It was a perfect way to finish an already fantastic adventure.
Thanks Diogo for making the experience so much fun. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Algarve.

Best day in Lagos. Even though it was a slightly chilly and windy day, the caves were protected and the calm water made kayaking easy and enjoyable. Being inside the Ponte Piadade caves was spectacular-WOW!! Fun, informative guides (shout out to skipper Diego, guide Gabriel and our other friend who gave us AWESOME recommedations-thank you all!)

We very much enjoyed the kayak tour. It was a very fun activity and the swimming off the boat at the end was very funny also. The only thing at fault was I couldn’t always hear what the guide was saying about the caves but I would definitely recommend doing this!

Had the best time with Days of Adventure on the kayaks! The guys on board were very friendly and welcoming. Made me feel a lot more at ease as someone nervous about what to expect. The caves were amazing, and it was probably the best experience of the holiday!

Fun and well run tour! Everything went according to the plan and we were given life vests and kayaks. The crew helped everyone get in and out of the boat, and we had an informative tour through the rock formations. If you are a complete novice, this may be a little tricky, but if you’ve kayaked even a few times, you should be able to manage. This staff was super friendly and relaxed, but still very professional. Highly recommended! We were able to get into areas of these rock formations you can’t otherwise access with larger boats. Plus we had time to swim!

Scenic boat ride to the rock formations then excitingly placed into kayaks to make way into the caves. It was great! Then back to boat for swimming and chilling before heading to Lagos again.

Great morning out with Gabriel on the water, was not too hot or crowded, with a few waves from passing boats. This was a good time slot to go (8:45am). Went around to different coves/caves and rock formations learning about them and their history. Was a nice way to see some of the rockier beaches and cliffs and got in a nice swim at the end. Would recommend wearing a bathing suit as your bottom half may get wet. We were able to keep our phones and beach bag on the boat while we kayaked out. If bringing phone on kayak, would recommend a waterproof bag just in case. Overall, would recommend!
