"I was torn between doing a kayaking tour or this boat tour and I am BEYOND happy that I chose this private boat tour. Not only did we see more in 2 hours as the kayakers did in 4+ but because we were on a zodiac boat we were able to access all the smaller caves that I thought we'd have to skip being on a boat. For the 3 of us we had 2 Andres - one to captain the boat and navigate impossibly tight spaces and one to give us all the info we could possibly need. Both of them had been living in the area their whole lives, knew a ton about the area and spoke English well. The ease, skill and sometimes speed with which Captain André was able to zip in, out and thru these caves was amazing and Guide André had a great personality and was able to describe the history and landscape with astonishing detail. Can't say enough about these guys, they made our trip! The caves and algarves themselves are amazing! We've done the Blue Lagoon in Capri, Senotas in Mexico, Calanques in France, etc and nothing comes remotely close to this. We rode into about a dozen amazing caves, about a third of which you exit from an opening on the other side. Quite a few have holes in the top where the sunlight pops thru and beams down, when you look up you see crystal blue sky. One is even shaped perfectly like a heart! The way or captain was able to take us in and out of them was absolutely incredible. I was also amazed at how smooth and calm the water was; as someone prone to sea-sickness I was nervous at first but it was so smooth. We passed boats loaded with 15-30 people and were so grateful to have our boat to ourselves- not just bc of Covid but it also made the experience so much more personal and we were able to learn so much more. If I could give this tour more than 5 stars I would. We have been in Spain and Portugal for 2 weeks and this is hands down the highlight of our trip thus far. We were all blown away by the beauty and how fun this tour was. To sum it up: DO THIS TOUR, YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY!!!!"

"Just amazing! My highlight in the Algarves. Great experience and very friendly tour guides Francisco and Caillou 🙌🏻👍🏻"

"Great fun. Great driver and very knowledgeable. To all the places he stopped and showed us. He was very passionate with we loved it and we really learned a lot in a fun and happy way. Brilliant"

"This was SUCH a fun experience. We came across it by accident when our other tour canceled on us. On a whim, we decided to kayak instead of just a regular boat and we were so glad we did. We could go inside many caves other bigger boats couldn't, and we could get out and take photos on the beach in the Benagil cave. We were nervous at first that our arms would be too sore and we wouldn't be able to make the whole time but it wasn't too bad at all - plus we were in a 2-person kayak. Highly recommend!"

"This experience is very suggested....Making it at the sunrise you are the first to arrive in the Benagil cave that is completely empty, the best way to take good shots from the inside of the cave. Mike and Miguel are very good guides."

"Wonderful tour! Great guide, beautiful scenery!! Seeing the caves from the boat was so neat!! Would recommend this tour!"

"It was our first time on a surf board and we got very good instructions so that we were able to even (almost) stand up :-D we had lots of fun and we definitely want to try it again!"

"Do not visit the Algarve without experiencing this amazing cave tour. The boat ride was a blast and small enough to fit inside many of the caves larger boats cannot manage. Great guides, amazingly beautiful coastline, rock formations, colorful caves."

"Great driver/guide..gave us a lot of local information great trip. Times allowed at scenic spots just right"

"Great crew. Smaller boat got us deep into a number of caves that larger boats would not be able to enter at all. Amazing experience of this part of the Algarve coast you can’t see any other way - even by walking the Seven Hanging Valleys trail, which we also did. So convenient to depart from Carvoeiro rather than from more distant Albufeira."

"Amazing experience kayaking to and through the caves. . The waves in the caves are big, and we felt safe with the very knowledgeable and helpful guides."
