We booked a private tour for 9 people, great value, easy to find, good communication. The tour was great, we got right in to the smallest caves along with the kayaks. Our guide gave us an interesting and entertaining summary of the sights along the way. Would use 'happy time' again

Great experience, professional crew made the trip safe and fun. Husband and wife team were great. The skipper gave us a good commentary about the area and the caves. Plenty of opportunities to take photos. Great seeing the shoreline from the boat, so much history and natural beauty.

      Bruno & Pedro are absolutely delightful! I really really enjoyed the tour! Hands down the most fun short tour I’ve ever done! Definitely worth it. Bruno is super personable & goes above and beyond with including everyone on the boat! Pedro definitely knows his boat stuff as he’s an amazing driver!! 🌟Take this as a sign to book with Bruno & Pedro🌟 A happy time was definitely had 😬🌊✨!

      Great but shorter in time than advertised.

      Flavia_O, Jul 2026
      The boat marina was easy to find, the boat ride was great. It was the right length. We went through caves and sped back. Tour was about 1 hour so I felt we were cut short.

      Exciting boat tour

      Masoud_E, Jun 2026
      We had such a great time on this tour with Lucas and Captain Pedro! Despite the high waves, they made the experience incredibly exciting by taking us into some of the caves whenever it was safe to do so, always keeping the safety of everyone on board as their top priority. Lucas and Pedro are both funny, energetic, and passionate about what they do, which made the whole tour even more enjoyable. We had another group tour of Caves by kayaks the day before but this one is a different experience that you shouldn’t miss if you’re visiting the area. Thank you, Lucas and Pedro, for an unforgettable adventure!

      Great alternative for a cancelled excursion

      Barbara_W, May 2026
      Great tour company with excellent customer service. They were not able to provide this particular tour this evening because of rough seas that made it impossible to enter the caves. They offered us the sunset cruise leaving later that evening and/or our original cruise the next day. We joined to sunset party cruise and had a wonderful time. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. Highly recommended this company. Such a great experience.

      Very good value. Was able to enter a number of caves on the boat and the staff was organized, professional, informative, and entertaining. Would definitely recommend this tour.

      Must do in Lagos

      Lucas was very good at controlling the boat in wavy situations and Vanessa was extremely good at explaining the area and sites. They were both funny and accommodating

      a MUST-see in Lagos

      Patricia_G, Nov 2025
      Vanessa and Alberto made this trip an absolute blast! Their playful banter and jokes along the ride only enhanced the stunning scenery that surrounded us. If you are in Lagos, this short trip is a must-do, to fully take in the caves and cliffs of the Ponte de Piedade. We booked around sunset time which made seeing a challenge sometimes but when the sun hits the cliffs and paints them bright orange, it is indescribable.

      Cool

      Michael_B, Nov 2025
      Guides were fantastic, very witty & knowledgable. We had an absolute ball, I highly recommend!!! Nazreen.

      Safe, fun and exciting tour.

      Martinus_K, Oct 2025
      Pedro and Bruno is very knowledgeable about everything they have to show us. They cared about our safety and well being during our journey. Funny guys, fun, safe and knowledgeable that’s all we need when we are on vacation. Will definitely recommend for others and will do it again next time.

      You won’t want to miss this ☺️✨!

      Christina_M, Jun 2025
      Excellent value for the cost. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, punctual and funny. He took us through many caves and drove the boat with such precision. 100% would recommend this this to friends.

      Justin_S, Jun 2025
      Views were great, staff was friendly enough. Tour was 15 minutes shorter than advertised with no explanation. Not major complaints but didn’t quite meet the expectations based on other tours we’ve had in the Algarve recently.

      The team were so good....

      LijaMary_K, Jan 2025
      The team were so good. They explained everything in detail, took our photos and tried their best to make this experience memorable for us.

      Happy Mama!

      Mark_C, Jan 2025
      To quote my mother (70 years old): "You know those experiences you just want to freeze inside your head and never forget? When we went into the cave, that was one of those. I loved it!" I think that's all you need to know.

      Wonderful boat tour with great guides!

      Jennifer_D, Oct 2024
      The guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable. They gave us a great dinner recommendation too. The water was a little rough but the scenery was stunning. Well worth the money.

      Fun on the water

      jenny_D, Sep 2024
      We had a really great boat trip. Very good boat skills getting us into quite small caves. Interesting facts and we left promptly too. Excellent value too

      Best of all tours

      Vaibhav_B, Sep 2024
      One of the best experiences of our trip.. The guide was super guy with great comic sense. He explained everything so nicely and in detail, we couldn't have thought more. Even the captain so kind to explain lot of things about Lagos after we completed our tour. Highly recommend.

      Amazing tour of caves & beaches

      Amy_K, Jun 2024
      Our guide was awesome, had a friendly vibe and many cool facts ..we were able to go into the caves with the boat, and got amazing videos & pics. Thank you!

      Fun scenic boat ride in Lagos

      Jennifer_D, May 2024
      We saw various rock formations and caves along the coastline. We departed out of the Lagos marina and it was a 75 minute boat ride.

      Great last minute buy

      Marie_D, Nov 2023
      Amazing last minute tour and later in the day that other tours. We were able to see the sunset. Our guide and captain were very skilled and knowledgeable. We got very close to everything.

      Great quick and easy tour

      Andrew_B, Nov 2023
      I booked this a little last minute as an easy couple of hours out, and was super glad I did. The tour was every bit as interesting as the Benagil cave tour I had done earlier in the week at half the price. The weather on the day of the tour was relatively poor but the operator handled it great, both moving me to a later time (for better weather) and being very conscious of the conditions while on board. The staff felt a little more local and authentic than some of the other operators running and the captain for sure knew how to control his boat. The roughish seas did not stop him from getting it into all the little caves and through the arches while still feeling completely controlled. For the price and time commitments of this tour, I feel like its a question of "why wouldn't you do it".

      A very beautiful excursion. Beautiful place and very well organized

      Marieange_P, Jun 2026

      So special

      Cindy_H, Oct 2025
      The encounter with the dolphins was just magical. The guides managed to experience the family in the wild despite clouds and fog. The guides were so mindful of the animals, which was very impressive. I am very grateful for this experience
