Fun on board - It was a super fun excursion, they sat the children in front and Daniela interacted a lot with them and with us. The brilliant Captain Pedro also stopped a lot inside the caves. When sailing it was super fast and we were able to enjoy it a lot. Recommended 💯 Olga

What a ride! - Thanks to Daniela and Sarah our guides and the wonderful,good looking Skipper whose name I forget, apologies. This was a wonderful ride, thanks to Daniela expertise as a marine biologist, we learnt a lot. Treasure caves to be conserved, please listen to our experts. I was apprehensive of water, I had no fear, no sickness and wanted more at the end - applies to my whole family. Many thanks again. One thing though which bothered us when we left. We were unsure whether to tip these three superb riders, please put a comment on this, as we were not sure of implications it might have posed.

A very nice little cruise - Small group boat cruise. A big thank you to Daniela, our multilingual guide who is very interesting and has a lot of humor as well as to Juan, our pilot. You have superb views of the different beaches, caves and cliffs of the coast between Portimao and Marinha beach - Unesco Heritage. To do.

Great experience 😉 - Daniela is the best guide you can have on the route of the caves and Benagil in Portimão. She knows perfectly well the place, the history, she is a biologist, therefore also the scientific data. It is also super friendly, and speaks Portuguese, English and Spanish, it suits everyone! The route is spectacular, full of contrasts and you enter the best caves. At the beginning or end of summer it is better, as July and August there are many people. Thanks for the experience 😉

Must see when in the neighborhood!! - Must see when you are in Ferragudo! We even were so lucky to spot a few dolphins around our boat. Great Captain, excellent recommendations for restaurants (Sueste is the place to be for the best fish ever!!) The boat was great and fast if it needed to be. We were with a group of six friends and we had a great time!!

More seen than thought! - We have been received very kindly and have seen a lot! The crew is very attentive and we even got small snacks. The caves are very varied and the captain tells and translates a lot about it. The atmosphere was great and the value for money was right!
