The tour captain and tour guide were excellent. I gave them a 5 star as I don't want to ruin their status, but the boat is not the one pictured. You have to straddle a large bumper for the entire ride and may not be comfortable for some. When booking the trip, the maximum was 8, but as they changed the boat, the tour was then made for 12 people. We were not looking for that kind of a tour, but again the staff was very professional, and the captain navigated the waters well.
The scenary, beaches stops and caves were wonderful. The water was too cold to swim.

After making the booking , five days later they emailed and changed the date , and the day before the activity that we booked we get email from Avitar that they are processing us a refund to our card. The operator never contacted us . Real bad customer service.

Children enjoyed jumping off to swim. Beautiful view of cliffs at coast. Liked explanation for cliff formations.

We took the tour and it was just the three of us. Initially I was concerned with the waves and nautical conditions, since it was January. However the water was really smooth and the captain/tour guide Andre did a great job navigating the boat. We didn't feel seasick at all. Several times during the boat ride, Andre stopped to tell us about the different coastline beaches and history. He also stayed a little longer to allow us to see the sunset, which extended the tour beyond the 3 hours allotted time. The tour was great! I highly recommend Daydream Experience in Sesimbra for this tour.

La excursion es preciosa y Katerina es simpatiquisima y explica todo fenomenal aun asi no recomendaria la excursión por el barco que nos ha tocado, que no es el que aparece en las fotos.
12 personas tienen q ir sentadas con las piernas abiertas, en un espacio muy pequeño y sin respaldo, en un viaje que dura tres horas y sin apenas poderse mover. Uno de nosotros media 1.93 y pesa 110 kgs no le cabian las piernas en el sitio asignado, y ha estado incomodisimo todo el viaje
