Super Mario and Super Caves - We took the cave trip after hiking a bit on top of the cliffs of The Hanging Valley Trail… It was absolutely the perfect way for us to then see the caves from the water. The skipper, “Super”Mario did a fantastic job weaving in and out of the , at times, questionable caverns! Our guide, Daniel, was kind, and charming, and very knowledgeable… We all agreed that it was one of the best things we’ve done our holiday in Portugal!!! Thanks for the best way for all ages to see the caves!!!

Awesome Experience on the Cave Tour - We had such a great time on this cave boat tour! We got to see so many beautiful caves and incredible rock formations — it was such a cool experience from start to finish. Our guide, Logan, was fantastic — super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful the entire time. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and it made the tour even better. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

Great tour great guide great captain - Very very cool. Definitely want to do this tour in a speed boat not a kayak or larger boat. They were able to take us right into the caves. Alex the guide and Guio (spelling??) captain were both fantastic. Highly recommended.

Boat driver skills. - Riding in the boat with a helmsman that skilled was worth the whole experience. The variety of the different caves made the famous Benagil cave almost anticlimactic.

Highly recommend - Whats not to like?! We had a great time. Logan was a patient tour guide and we loved dipping in and out of the caves and the zoom back along the coast at the end.

You should not miss this visit with any of the many companies that there are to make it - The excursion is very good, the boat is not as big as other boats and this makes you can enter more or better caves the rather anodyne boys on the crossing
