Fantastic sea cave boat trip today with Pedro and Captain John!
We opted for the private tour, just four of us, and we are on a small boat, which allows us to go into many of the caves. Fantastic views, beautiful scenery, and an overall fun trip. Would highly recommend this to all ages of visitors!

David our captain and Sergio our guide were wonderful. Always felt safe in the inflatable boat and they had wonderful local knowledge. The caves should not be missed. Sergio referred us to a lunch restaurant in Portimão named Allgarbe which was amazing. . Some of the best seafood of our trip. 5 star experience on the tour and at the restaurant.

We booked the private boat ride with my friends and it was totally worth it. Edward and Johnny made our experience super fun, we saw some incredible beaches and caves and had a good laugh in the waves. Make sure to bring a lot of sunscreen on a sunny day. All in all highly recommend!

My tour was led by David who was friendly and provided entertaining family-friendly commentary during the tour. He answered any questions we had and I appreciate that he took several photos of our group. Skipper Johnny-Baby piloted the boat and kept the ride comfortable. We went out early in the morning (9 am), which I would recommend as there is a lot less traffic on the water. Because we did not have to wait to enter/get close to the caves the tour lasted around 75 minutes rather than the 90 minutes listed (it did not feel rushed at all). I would suggest bringing a windbreaker/jacket as well as sunglasses as the glare off the water can be strong.
There were six people in my family on the tour which made the cost of this private tour very reasonable when compared to a larger group tour. I was very satisfied with the experience and would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear J_T,
We are pleased to hear that you had such a great experience with David and Johnny-Baby — they’ll be thrilled to know their efforts were appreciated. It’s wonderful that the early morning tour gave you the chance to enjoy the caves with less traffic and in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review!
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back on board for another memorable adventure soon.
Warm regards
