Small boat wins over bigger boats on this trip - Very enjoyable trip along the coastline popping in and out of several caves. Tiago provided amusing narrative while Hugo expertly navigated the rocks. Being in a small boat meant we could go into smaller caves which any bigger boats couldn’t do.

A fab way to start the day - Tiago and Hugo were good fun taking our family of 4 (kids 10 and 6) to the caves on a Monday morning and explaining all the history. We even got chance to go jump off the boat for a quick swim! It’s a fab trip to view the coastline and see some cool caves and beaches to explore later by foot. Just the right amount of time, kids loved it. Thanks for a fab trip and info

Cavetastic! - We completed the full tour with another 2 couples and it was amazing! We chose to go on the 9am time slot which meant we were back at the beach by 10:45am and able to venture into the town. The two gentleman navigating the boat and informing us of the wonderful facts of the caves were professional with being very welcoming & friendly. Highly recommend the trip!

Happy family tour and beautiful views guaranteed! - We were guided by Diogo and Tiago, enthusiastic guides doing non-stop tours with tourists and locals through the several caves and ultimately the ultra busy Benagil one. It can be busy on the way and inside, they are able to navigate safely and quickly react to other boats or canoes coming our way. And offer to take the family picture and suggest good places to capture memories from the lovely tour. Thank you for your patience!

Sea trip to the top with family - Friendly crew, interesting comments, small open sea swimming in translucent water. A way back to surf the waves, the children thought they were at the amusement park! Very nice visit for a magnificent coast that can only be seen from the sea!
