Miguel and Sergio we amazing!! Boat was excellent and comfortable. We were taken to see many caves, given a lot of history and fun facts about the coast line! We luckily were greeted by a large family of dolphins who followed our boat! Couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day! Thank you Miguel and Sergio

Our tour guides, Diogo and Gonzalez, were fantastic. They took our needs and wants into consideration. They showed us spectacular caves, pointed out details and then took us to a great bay where we anchored and were able to swim in the water. 10/10!!

If the water is choppy hold onto your hat !! The trip was very enjoyable but the water was choppy so made it a little more challenging

We had an amazing sunset cruise for our family. The tour operators were very knowledgeable about the location and shared great stories about the towns’ history. The captain expertly navigated in and out of caves to make sure we had the best views. We also had a chance to kayak through the caves which was the best of both worlds. It will be a core memory for our family.

This is a must do if staying in the Algarve. Our group of 6 came from Lagos (roughly 30 min Uber from pick up location). The coast and caves are stunning. Also shout out to our guide Sergio and boat captain Miguel for a great experience!

Very good trip, enjoyed almost most of caves during our tour. Highly recommended to everyone. Picnic option can be added to make it even more attractive.

I didn’t an absolutely amazing adventure! I do believe that this boat trip Is going to be the highlight of our Portugal and Spain holiday. It was so worth to do a private boat. We saw so many boats jam packed full of people. We were comfortable and well taken care of by our guide, Fred, and our captain. Fred was engaging, knowledgeable, and knows how to take excellent photos! The boat was very nice and had high grade life vests, unlike the bulky orange ones you see most often. Drinks were offered, beer, soft drinks, and water. I highly recommend taking a private tour and using this company!

We had an exceptional day on the boat touring the caves and grottos with Captain Nelson and our guide Fred. In addition to the expert navigation of the boat into the narrow caverns by Nelson, Fred was so knowledgeable about the history of not only the caves but of Portugal and Portimao as well. He also is a great photographer!
If you do nothing else but this trip, you will not be disappointed!

We had a great time on our tour! We enjoyed the personal attention from our guide! Our boys really enjoyed exploring the caves, using the boat’s stand up paddle, and jumping off the boat into the emerald green water. The captain and guide ensured our boys were being safe while having a great time!

The driver and assistant were both very kind and very knowledgeable. We saw many caves and learned of their origins. We made several stops to swim and enjoy the beautiful water. A great day. Would definitely recommend!

This 3 hour excursion was well worth the time and cost. Silvio and Diogo were full of knowledge and hospitality. They both had a great understanding of Portuguese history and geology. The caves were amazing and we even had time to swim at a beach that you could only get to by boat. We were the only ones there. It was amazing! My 18, 20 & 23 year olds said it was the best excursion we did during our week in Portugal.

The tour was wonderful! The guides gave us some nice history of Portugal and local wildlife spotting. Very accommodating and relaxed for specific plans. Great with kids. Thanks so much!

Great staff, very attentive and kind to our family. Detailed explanation of the sites visited, did their best to give us a great experience. Comfortable boat, with new life jackets.
We really recomend it!

Our family of four had a great time with our guides Silvio and Miguel. They were very friendly, full of great information and showed us so many beautiful caves and areas along the coast. They were both born in the area and had great stories! We learned so much. They also are open to whatever you want to do in terms of time spent sightseeing or time spent swimming/hanging on one of the beaches. I would highly recommend going with them…you’ll have an amazing time!

An amazing experience with a fantastic crew. They made us feel so welcome and spent just enough time pointing out important things to see without making it too long

Visiting the caves along the Algarve coast was fabulous! The caves and rock formations are incredible to see up close and from inside. Benagil and the other caves are beautiful and each one has its own story. Elsio is a terrific guide. He lives locally and grew up in Portimao with many experiences along the beach. He knows the history of the area and each cave. He and his expert boat captain provided us a great time.
We felt very fortunate to have booked this tour with Seasiren because our cruise ship’s cave tour excursion was canceled. After that, I was somewhat worried about conditions. Once we got on the boat, I could see that safety was a top priority and our captain was an expert who knows the coastline well and how to navigate the rocks and caves.
We had a great time talking with Elsio and our captain about Portimao and the beautiful Algarve. This tour with Seasiren should not be missed!

Amazing experience. I had arranged for this tour as a surprise birthday gift for my wife.
The captain spoke perfect English, has an amazing specific knowledge about the caves and rock formations. He was also a photographer and offered to take many photos of us.
Finally on our way back the captain spotted dolphins and diverted and we got to see a bunch of dolphins which was a nice addition

We did the private tour only two people, my husband didn't have so many expectations of the tour and loved it... Sergio, the guide, has a lot of experience and explains in detail, plus he takes very good pictures... if you are in portimao you have to do the tour, the incredible caves...

Un recorrido precioso por la costa, íbamos con un bebé y pedimos un chaleco pequeño y si se podía adelantar la hora para adaptarnos a su comida, todo fue aceptado según las peticiones con mucha amabilidad
Nuestros dos guías fueron muy amables y atentos y no se escatima nada en el tiempo contratado
