Lovely trip with friendly hosts. - I forgot their names, but the guide and the captain were very sweet and did a great job. Throughout the trip they were very attentive towards everyone´s needs and always smiling. Also the lady at the reception was very helpful and provided a windbreaker for the trip free of charge. Overall a recomendable experience despite the weather.

Terrific experience - We booked this boat tour through Viator who booked it with Vertente Natural who contracted a private boat because they had so many tours. Everyone involved was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful & truly amazing. We wouldn’t change a thing & highly recommend spending time on the water while in Sesimbra!

Amazing hidden beaches and caves boat tour - We went on a beaches and caves boat trip as part of our family holiday. It was a great experience and we all enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and the boat was modern and comfortable. It was great to see the 'hidden' beaches and caves of the Sesimbra coast and also to go for a swim from the boat (optional!).
