We had the best trip today. The only way to see the beautiful coastline. The crew showed us all of sites. (They were easy on the eye too 😉) 10/10 would recommend.

Disappointed 😢 to the MAX Level for the price !!!

Agata_A, Aug 2024

We only enjoyed that we were together as a family and we took so many beautiful photos Again nobody asked us to take photos of our family We are very disappointed with the experience on the boat The captain didn’t really speak any English He was talking the whole trip to his colleague and on the phone He only called out some of the caves names When I tried to ask him of more info he ignored me He didn’t say anything regarding the caves and history or details The trip was really boring He barely stoped and went to any caves inside where again other boats of the same size went easily in At the end He parked the boat really far from the beach where we saw other boats nearer to the shore for easier access to beach We traveled a lot and sadly this was the worst experience ever I really don’t mind spending $$$ but wow this is was not even worth 30$ per person Definitely not worth a 400$ I will be trying to get a refund !!!! It was really bad !!!! We are truly disappointed!!!! 😢

Womderful caves of Algarve

Very impressive to enter caves one after another. Captain was very friendly and talented. We loved jumping into the water and swim to a private beach. It was a great adventure!

Perfect Cave Tour

What a perfect way to see the caves. The boat size is so important so you can get into the caves. Richard is a wonderful guide and made our trip special.

Leuke en mooie tour langs de kustlijn van Portimão. We kregen wat te drinken en lekkers op de boot en konden heerlijk zwemmen in de zee. Een aanrader!!!
