Fun Relaxing - Great experience. The crew was knowledgeable. The atmosphere was both fun and relaxing. We were lucky to see dolphins from a distance that day. Drinks were good but a little expensive. I would recommend this tour overall.

Excellent boat trip - Excellent trip. We’ve tried a few different boat trips along here & this was nice time of year (September) as it was a small group, on a large boat. The staff were engaging and provided good food, drinks and overall a very relaxing few hours.

Great boat trip - Very nice boat trip - the crew members were very welcoming and Kind, whilst also being skilled at manoeuvring the boat. Fresh food (chicken, rice and vegetables + fruit bowl + a pastel de nata) and drink options for lunch. Also a good selection of virgin and alcoholic drinks as well as snacks available for purchase. We stayed a little too long at the Benagil caves for our liking, as the boat can’t go in, and the waves and exhaust from all the boats made it less comfortable. I would have preferred just going by as with the other caves. The views from further out were good and the Bruno informed us about beaches, cliffs etc. which was a good level of information. The stop for lunch, swimming and paddle boarding was good fun and very refreshing. We were only 20 out of 80 possible on the boat, which made the trip feel more exclusive. Mid September is a good time for this trip. We had a great time - it was with the money and time, and we’d do it again for sure!
