Youn Don’t Want to Miss This - This is a great outing. Crew are extremely helpful to make sure everyone can experience the beach. We had the special treat of seeing dolphins. The caves are not to be missed. Our catamaran took us inside. Bigger boats can only view from afar. Fun music onboard.

Full and rewarding and beach day 🥰 - In a last minute booking for the Bengali caves I noticed a full day tour AND a beach barbecue. What a great idea. The best tour in the area. we saw the beautiful coastline and then all the caves. The skipper masterfully steered around all the kayakers and paddle boarders. It was fun to watch. Then we went to the beach, which we had to ourselves. While the crew prepared our lunch we enjoyed swimming, and just relaxing. The lunch was substantial and of course the beverages were plentiful. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Big shout out to the crew of Mara, who got us all safely to the beach and back to the boat. 🥰

Highly recommend - Everything was perfect….the crew, food and views of the Algarve coastline! Our family of 6 spent the perfect amount of time on the water and at the private beach. The food was fresh and the music vibes were on. The boat even got a great close up of the bengil caves for pictures inside.

Very good excursion, I recommend - Very good excursion, crew on top, music drinks everything was great. It was just a shame that we couldn’t see the inside of the cave better but I don’t know if it’s related to the tide and/or the boat. We had a great time!!

Nothing but average - Pros Crew was very nice, caves were cool. Food was more than enough. Cons Water too cold to swim and the island had way too many seagulls we couldn’t eat comfortably.
