Awesome trip with awesome sights. Make sure to take some anti-nausea medicine before the boat ride because it can be rough at times. Berlenga is beautiful. Very friendly staff. Susana the guide was amazing and super friendly.

Susana was an awesome...

Janette_M, Oct 2025

Susana was an awesome guide. The private tour was exactly what we were hoping for! Susana guided us to the best of Berlenga, Obidos, and Penice.

Must do! Caves were amazing

mocha0403, Jul 2024

The island was beautiful. If you get seasick - make sure to take something. There was at least 20 people throwing up due to the rough waters. I wouldn’t miss this one!

Great day at Berlenga islands

Brianna_G, Jun 2024

Everything about this day was great! Our initial driver Fernando gave great recommendations of restaurants to try, very friendly and gave history of regions we drove through. The actual tour on boat and Berlenga Island was nice too. Friendly and cave tours were great. A little too cold to snorkel today for us but hikes were beautiful! You can even stay on the island in castle! Great food at cafe on the island and worth a trip!

Driver was great. The tour company at Berlenga was not. Not really and English speaking tour.

James_W, Jun 2024

The island tour companies are not well organized and confusing to work with. Keep telling you that you will get more direction at the Island but they just kind of shuffle you around without explanation. Only the drive is the private aspect of the tour. The island is beautiful and the tour companies probably don't really have to compete much for your business.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Good morning, Thank you for your feedback even though less positive. All feedbacks allow Swingo Tours to grow as a company and we take them very seriously. We will speak with the tour company and we will improve our services. We truly apologize for the situation and we only wish the rest of the trip has went well. Travel your way Swingo Team

Tour not as advertised

BTS, Sep 2023

We purchased tickets to a private tour of Berlenga Island. The car taking us to the marina to board the boat was private. We arrived at the marina and were told to board a ferry boat with at least 150 other passengers. The crew were disorganized and safety issues surrounded the maintenance on the boat. Only one restaurant on the island. There was no swimming in the Atlantic unless you count the small beach on the island. Totally dissapointing. Would not recommend this excursion to others particularly in light of the fact that we could have taken an Uber to the marina and purchased a round trip ferry ticket for $15 Euros. Overpaid for the excursion by $400 to $500 Euros.

Berlengas island is a must if you are in Lisbon.

Tatiana_P, Jul 2023

We had a private driver who picked us from the hotel and brought us to the boat. He was extremely caring and friendly. On the way back he showed us two more cities. On the boat the crew was exceptionally caring and professional. The same guys were running the caving tour on the island. Great job. Totally awesome experience. Strongly recommend.

Fun with some surprises

Gordon_K, Jun 2023

Mr. Rui from Swingo tours was wonderful - he drove us to and from Peniche to get the boat to Berlanga Island. After our island tour, he took us for a lovely driving tour of the vistas in Peniche, and the town of Obidos (sp?) which is touristy but beautiful. Mr. Rui was knowledgeable and friendly. The company that took us from the dock in Peniche to Berlenga Island was Live Berlenga (Mr. Rui stayed on shore). They were very nice, but disorganized and mis-advertised some things. One surprise is that the boat we took was not the ferry catamaran in the Viator pictures, but a small pontoon jet boat like the US Coast Guard use --- very fast and lots of wave jumping (we got air). My teen boys really loved it, my wife was terrified. Another surprise is that they told us we would have time to do the cave tour and snorkeling and explore the island by foot, where in reality we had no time to explore the island by foot and our snorkeling was only 30 minutes in a less desirable location. You get only 3 hours on the island on this tour. This trip is more about relaxing than adventure. Pick 2 things you want to do, not three, or find another option that has a longer time on shore.

Family trip to a beautiful island

dposadac, Apr 2023

This is great trip! It is a little bit different from the rest of the tours out of Lisbon; but completely worthy. If you enjoy hiking and the outdoors, this is especially suited for you. The island is a beautiful and unique place where you can experience nature everywhere you go. The food in the island shop is surprisingly delicious and the interesting boat ride only adds to the fun. The driver was very professional, accommodating and punctual. I highly recommend this activity.
