Amazing experience - The boat trip was great and well worth the money. The men did their best and the guide also did well. All caves were viewed and entered where possible.

10/10 so much fun. Best... - 10/10 so much fun. Best bang for your buck, we saw so much! The boat is small so it’s a small group and you get in and out of the caves which was very cool.

Great option for a quick way to see grottos - The Discover 1 hour trip is a great option to see the grottos if you don’t want to be on a boat for hours or have a tendency to get seasick. The small motor boat can go right inside with the swell - there were adrenaline moments which the kids loved

Get your adrenaline pumping in wavy weather conditions!! - Barradesh and Gy with Seafaris were awesome and so adventurous! They cracked jokes and we went under the rock arches even in really wavy conditions. If you want your adrenaline pumping, definitely book with them. Super fun and beautiful way to see Ponta Da Piedad and all of the beaches on the coastline

Great short tour of the coat - Great short tour (1 hour 15 minutes) from the marina along the coast line. Captain George was funny and entertaining during our tour. I would recommend this if you are just make a day trip or have a short amount of time in Lagos. It is also a great way to see which beach you would want to visit.

Amazing trip through the caves - This trip was really good and exceeded our expectations. We left the marina of Lagos with a very skilled captain that sailed with the amazing ability through the caves of Ponta da Piedade. We were able to see them from inside. He knew all the points of interest and was prompt to show all of them to us in three languages (Portuguese, Spanish, and English). I certainly recommend it.

Great photo ops! - We really enjoyed this short tour of the shoreline and caves of Lagos. They were about 10 or 12 people on the boat, it doesn’t go too fast but I wouldn’t recommend for people who don’t like a bit of a bumpy ride.
You go into some caves and get beautiful photo opportunities. Don’t expect a lot of overview or information. Nonetheless it was great experience and I would recommend doing it at the earliest time to avoid the hottest sun.
