Great cave experience! - Incredible views! You can’t see the beauty of the cliffs and caves except from the water. Our boater guides were informative and handled the boat well despite some rough waves. We were in good hands.

Boat/caves and cliff walk - A very enjoyable tour - particularly good for me as I’m not keen on water and boats and have a fear of cliffs and caves 🤷‍♀️😅. I have been on Antonio’s tours before so trusted him that this would be safe and good. Some of the walk was a little tricky as I have short legs for getting up and down the rocks !!!! but well worth it and Antonio was on hand to help. Also, be warned that you leave your shoes for the boat trip. A good experience - apologies to Antonio that I forgot to post this last year 🙊

Such fun! - What a great tour! It was the perfect balance of walking a learning about the area and spending time on the water seeing the caves. Great morning. Definitely, enjoyable for the whole family. I apologize that I don’t remember the name of our guide but she was fantastic. She was from Lagos and had great knowledge of the Algarve.

Great tour of Algar Seco & Benagil Caves - We had a great time on this tour. We recommend it to anyone going to Algarve. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped off too. It was convenient and the tour guide Marguirida was execellent.

Caves didn’t disappoint - What an amazing excursion. So much fun and beautiful. The Caves were awesome. I thought I would be worried about going into the caves but our boat driver was amazing. Our van driver, RUI (Roy) was nice and knowledgable about the area. After the boat ride we walked around and above the Caves. I highly recommend this adventure.

Benagil Caves - I chose to go on this tour as I have been with South Explorers before and I trusted that it would be well organised. As someone who doesn’t have a great affinity with water, boats, cliffs and caves, I found it very enjoyable. It was a bit tough on my short legs going up and down the steps on the coastal walk but well worth it for the experience and views. Thank you António for another splendid outing.

Benagil cave and coastal trip - Margarida was a delightful guide for the trip and very informative about the destination and also happy to answer all our additional questions about Portugal in general. The boat trip was fun and we got great views of the cafes and coastline.

Worse tour via Viator yet - Wow I was shocked boat went out with such rough sees . Our van guide was nice and tried to appease situation but sadly right decision for them to call off tour wasn’t made . We all got soaked, boat took in lots of water .
