I’m glad we booked to do this tour 👌 - Carluccio & Carluccio were great guides. We had a great time in a private 90 minute trip for my dad’s 70th birthday, highly recommend.

Highly recommended excursion - Excursion worth seeing the caves of Benamiel. We had a great time thanks to the sailor and Guide Sergio who explained everything very well in Spanish.

Boat and operator of 10 - Excursion of 10. Visit to all the caves, although the one of Benagil exploited by so much exposure in networks but worth seeing the Cave of Paradise. Operator Atlantis Tours with its guides make 12 the experience. They give constant advice on what to visit and how. By the way for those who suffer dizziness on the boat (as is my case) it is highly recommended the boat, nor can it be noticed,

Very nice service - A memorable sea trip with the discovery of beautiful caves! A special mention for our French Guide Anaïs who was great, kind, funny, and she gave us tour tips for the rest of our stay. Only downside, the wait a little long in the sun (we arrived 50 minutes early). If you hesitate between several companies, you will surely not be disappointed with this one, we strongly recommend it!

5 stars for the... - 5 stars for the restaurant and 1 star for the boat tour. The included lunch at Allgarbe was surprisingly good. We ordered something else from the menu, it was fresh and delicious. Staff were so friendly. And the restaurant was so beautiful. Highly recommend if you are in the area should check it out. The boat tour could be better if they didn’t squeeze both two different languages groups into the same boat. Seemed like the try to fill the boat with as many people as possible. Our group of four had to sit separately and at the back of the boat and next to the Spanish group. The Spanish guide was loud and we couldn’t hear anything of our English guide. After we addressed the problem, our guide tried to speak louder and talk after the Spanish guide finished. But it didn’t help because the people in the Spanish group would talk after their guide finished. All we heard was them talking right next to me. Also our boat would go in the caves with the front then stopped and back up to get out. Us who sitting in the back would not able to see anything but the backs of the people sitting in front of us. I was surprised the boat didn’t once turn around to let the people in the back to see. It was not enjoying at all. Maybe better for the people who sit in the front. If they can fix these problems, just have one language group on the boat and turn around the boat to let people that sit in different angles can see, then it might be much better.

Just Average - Sorry to not rate this 5 stars. It was a beautiful boat trip and the cliffs are astonishing. It was supposed to be a sunset cruise but a couple of days before we were to take the excursion they changed the departure time from 3:30 to 3 so there was no sunset viewing. The tour was supposed to be an hour and a half but lasted barely an hour.
