    Fun Relaxing

    Julian_B, Sep 2025
    Great experience. The crew was knowledgeable. The atmosphere was both fun and relaxing. We were lucky to see dolphins from a distance that day. Drinks were good but a little expensive. I would recommend this tour overall.

    Great boat trip

    Amalie_J, Sep 2025
    Very nice boat trip - the crew members were very welcoming and Kind, whilst also being skilled at manoeuvring the boat. Fresh food (chicken, rice and vegetables + fruit bowl + a pastel de nata) and drink options for lunch. Also a good selection of virgin and alcoholic drinks as well as snacks available for purchase. We stayed a little too long at the Benagil caves for our liking, as the boat can’t go in, and the waves and exhaust from all the boats made it less comfortable. I would have preferred just going by as with the other caves. The views from further out were good and the Bruno informed us about beaches, cliffs etc. which was a good level of information. The stop for lunch, swimming and paddle boarding was good fun and very refreshing. We were only 20 out of 80 possible on the boat, which made the trip feel more exclusive. Mid September is a good time for this trip. We had a great time - it was with the money and time, and we’d do it again for sure!

    It was a wonderful day!...

    Relaxing and well organised, a good holiday activity. A view of the Algarve coast, with a nice swim and lunch stop at half way point.

    Fabulous boat trip

    Susan_B, Jul 2025
    Brilliant experience, we loved the boat trip, it was very comfortable with space to sunbathe on the nets at the front of the boat. We had a delicious poke bowl lunch which included a free drink. The commentary was informative, but not intrusive. I will definitely do the boat trip again when in the area and would highly recommend it.

    Great views of the coastline and caves. Friendly crew and awesome day trip with fun activities and lunch!

    Beautiful day out with delicious lunch!

    toni4andy, Sep 2024
    We did hang around a little at the start whilst waiting for everyone to arrive but once we got going everything was great! Fantastic day out, great catamaran, plenty of space to sunbathe even though this tour was busy! My friend was sea sick as it was a choppy day out at sea, and staff were really wonderful to her! The lunch provided was very tasty abd plentiful! Soft drinks and beers, generally what you would expect so all great, no complaints! We couldn't go into the caves as the boat is too big but we did get close enough for photos. Paddleboarding was fun, they did tell us 'waterpark' was included but really this was just two floats in the sea, so we did expect more. Overall it was a really lovely trip and still worth the money!

    Great way to enjoy the Algarve coast

    Stunning day on the Algarve coast. This is a must do and well worthwhile. Unforgettable and incredible value. The staff were fabulous

    Amazing day cruise!

    Mona_W, Aug 2024
    We had a great time cruising on this catamaran! We were impressed with the space to freely spread out and enjoy the sun and spectacular views of the coastline. It was not crowded at all as some cruise tours can be! The stop for lunch and dip in water was also very good. The kids liked the paddle boards and floaties provided. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. If you're looking for a relaxing day at sea, we would recommend this tour!

    Wonderful
