Peaceful and beautiful - would definitely do it again

ChristinaLuise_S, Jul 2023
Rui and his co-pilot at Lagos Boat Tours took us on an amazing sunset tour of the caves and Ponta da Piedade. He was personable and informative and also left some quiet times for us to just appreciate the nature.

Great!

Sarah_R, Jun 2023
Being a young female traveller (already doing a kayak tour earlier in the day) I found this to be a bit repetitive - my own fault. It was very slow and (and cold - bring a jacket). It would be suited for people who love sight seeing at a slow pace/probably for people older than me (24).

The Perfect Sunset Boat Ride!

Kristen_M, Apr 2023
We booked this last minute and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Our captain was so skilled - you’ll get an in depth tour of nearly every arch, cave and grotto accessible by boat. He grew up giving tours with his dad and it shows, he has a love for Algarve that’s infectious. It was a perfect night and an even better sunset. Bring layers/scarves for the boat ride back, it’s windy but well worth it.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Kristen_M! Thank you very much for your review and for choosing my small local company Lagos Boat Tours! My goal is always to please customers. I'm glad that you enjoyed my Boat Tour to the Grottos of Ponta da Piedade. I hope to see you again, on another occasion, on one of my other boat tours. I recommend the Sunset Boat Tour at Ponta da Piedade. Thank you again! Best regards. Rui Pedro dos Reis Lagos Boat Tours

A fun experience

Tiffany_A, Jun 2022
Although we didn’t get to see a clear sunset due to weather, the experience was fun. My friends and I enjoyed it. Rui was great and communicated everything we needed beforehand.

Expectacular excursion en barca

ALBERTO_G, Sep 2021
Espectacular salida en barca por la cuevas de Lagos con un atardecer inolvidable. El trato con la persona que maneja la barca es fantástico. Habla español perfectamente.

Romantischer Sonnenuntergang

Frank_S, Aug 2020
Unser Bootsführer war sehr geschickt im Umgang mit seinem Boot und konnte uns somit auch kleine Buchten und Grotten zeigen. Er erklärte uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten kurzweilig in drei Sprachen. Man merkte ihm die Liebe und Leidenschaft für die Natur und seine Landschaft sehr gut an.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Hallo Frank! Vielen Dank für Ihre hohe Bewertung meiner Bootstour! Mein Hauptziel ist es immer, glückliche Kunden zu haben und mit dem Gefühl, dass ihr Geld gut angelegt war! Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns bald wieder auf einer meiner anderen Bootstouren! Danke noch einmal. Freundliche Grüße. Rui Pedro dos Reis Lagos Boat Tours

Toll

Wir sind in alle schönen Grotten & Höhlen hinein gefahren. Abends sind auch nicht mehr viele andere Boote unterwegs. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis.

Response from Host, Jul 2020
