Great driver and the boat... - Great driver and the boat trip was smooth with beautiful scenery. The beaches were small but very pleasant. A very laid back easy tour but does have uneven surfaces for walking with lots of steps to get down to one of the beaches if that is an issue.

Excellent trip to the caves of Benagil! - Sebastiao is a fantastic tour guide! I did the afternoon trip to the Benagil caves and also visited the church on the rock. Everything was arranged so that when we got to the caves the boat was already there to take on the tour which of course was absolutely fantastic! We went from the cave tour to the church on the rock. We were there late in the afternoon and also got to watch a fabulous sunset over the ocean and cliffs. Sebastiao is a fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting the caves from Faro.

Fantastic day exploring... - Fantastic day exploring the caves of the Algarve coast. Experienced seven different ones including the one I see every day on my Microsoft Windows screen. Now I can say, "I was there!" Sebastian, the owner, was such a wonderful guide. He knows and loves this area and his country. It shows in his excitement to introduce every amazing site. The excursion takes you from Faro to a beach where you get on a small boat to see (and enter) the caves. Then you are shuttled to Our Lady of the Rock chapel and beaches. Excellent sandy beaches and views. I swam in the warm waters and still had time for a vinho verde and a small hike. Highly recommend.

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best tours we went on while in Portugal. Being on the boat, with dolphins performing in front of us and then going into the caves was truly memorable.

Well worth every penny. If you want exceptional personalized service this is your way to go - Amazing adventure. Well worth every penny. Sebastian was an awesome tour guide. The whole day was an experience I’ll never forget. Even though e have a flat tire along the way it did not hinder our experience. He compensated us with extra free time at one of you stops which was great and also stopped at an additional destination. So we could see the caves from land Well do. Sebastian. Highly recommend

A wonderful visit to the caves and beach - It’s a bit of a drive from Faro. The cave tour is short but you see a lot in that time. The beach is so beautiful I don’t have words to describe it. It was a terrific day but I would have liked another hour or so to enjoy the area. Sebastian , the guide, was very personable and his transport was comfortable.

Best day of the holiday - Sebastian was an excellent guide. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Algarve with him. Would highly recommend that anyone looking to see the area & caves books to do so with him.

Small personalised experience - We had a fantastic 5 hours with Sebastian. From the moment he picked us up in his spotless white bus, he took complete care of us, sharing his love and pride of his home country. He clearly explained the excursion. The drive to caves was 1hour from the pick up, and once at the launch beach the small speed boat took us deep and up close to all the caves, allowed for a swim as well as having a fun and fast ride back to the beach. The chill out on the 2 beaches was a great way to cool down in the sea and then catch the sunset with a glass of vino verde. Thank you for a lovely experience we came home glowing. Highly recommended.

Long drive for short but beautiful boat ride. - This isn't a boat trip from Faro. First, it is about an hour drive from Faro to Benagil beach and the area was so overrun with tourists that it is a bit hard to enjoy it. The boat ride was fun, but it was pretty short. The arches and natural caves are worth seeing. After the boat ride our guide took us to a different beach that was much less hectic and we had a nice time there. If you are really interested in these beaches, stay in a town closer instead of in Faro. Our tour guide did try to make the best of it considering the long travel time and he was very pleasant. Just be prepared for only a few good hours out of the 5 or so that you spend.

Short boat ride - Our guide was on time actually early. He was nice and help take photos. The boat ride see caves was short. Not sure what happened but it went abruptedly. It wasn't even like thank you for your time we're heading back it ended very oddly. The boat drivers were nice and everything but all the sudden they had to hurry back something was off
