How to choose? - There are many similar offers to visit the coast of albufeira, this expedition is on board the largest boat (catamaran) we have seen among all offers. It “brewing” quite a bit less and we sailed quietly to the destination (cave of benagil) while listening to anecdotes about what we see along the way (in English). A bar is at our disposal on board, the life jacket should not be worn throughout the trip (as on smaller boats). If you are offered a little more to be on the top deck (10 euros), it is definitely worth it... better overview, more space in general.

Excellent experience - The staff were incredibly professional and consistently friendly, always wearing a smile. The captain did an excellent job, and the cruise overall was fantastic. The speaker added a great touch with their sense of humor.

Worth the time and money! - Great time, friendly staff, beautiful views, and a skilled captain. It was evident that the crew and captain had a great rapport and that they genuinely enjoyed hosting tours. We took another reviewer’s advice and paid extra for the top deck. It is worth it. Minimal guests are allowed on top deck with captain (wristbands). 360 views!

Recommended - Well worth to have this trip. close observation of caves. Long three. Long three hour trip. Better AM or late PM, as feeling very hot. Drinks were expensive.

Fun time on the water! - This tour was really fun to see the coast of the Algarve. Not much swimming time, it was more of a quick dip in the ocean. I would also say, our tour guide was fun, but sometimes felt like the history was dragging just a tad. Overall, we had fun people on the boat which made the cruise more fun. Would recommend!

if you are sensitive to smoking smell please think twice before booking - The overall trip was good. we are usually big fan of viator but this boat ride there was a strong smell of petrol or gasoline and I felt nauseous all the time. so didn’t enjoy it as much. also too much smoking on the boat. next time i have to be more careful about booking.
