Amazing tour in Algarve coasts

5.00Amazing experience, we booked the 7am tour and were the only group inside Benagil. Our guides Rafael and Gabriel were great and friendly and showed up more caves to explore as well. Will for sure recommend it to anyone!
Rafael is Great - Tour is Amazing!

5.00We had the best time on our kayak tour with Rafael! Our time was 7 am which was awesome because we were out on the water with very few other kayakers. It gets pretty busy and much hotter on the water as the day goes on. Rafael is an amazing tour guide and waterman. He is so knowledgeable about the area you kayak through and about the ocean in general, so I felt safe and was able to be fully immersed in the experience. He did such a great job catering the tour to our capabilities and really made it so fun. It was quite cold in the morning but it quickly warmed up so I would have worn a shirt layer that I could have taken off later if I had thought about it. And definitely bring a bottle of water with you. They have lockers and locks provided at the office you start at and they give you dry bags to take on the kayak with you for your phones or cameras to stay dry. It honestly was so much fun and we would absolutely book with them again! Booking with TripAdvisor was easy and everything was communicated perfectly from the company through TripAdvisor.
A magical experience - thank you Secret Algarve

5.00A magical experience, thank you. We booked the two hour kayaking experience at 8:30 in the morning at the end of May. The water was calm on the way out and our gentle and knowledgable Portugese guide Lauro guided us from his paddle board in a small group. This is the way to explore the caves - definitely avoid the high speed boats, many of which seemingly have little regard for the environment and potential impact on the delicate terrain. By kayaking, we were able to go further into the caves and experience the quiet as well as land occasionally on secret beaches - the colours were incredible and our guide gave us lots of insights and helped us land. I was also happy to learn Secret Algarve treat their staff very well, insurances are in place and it was all managed very professionally. Thank you - we'll definitely be back.
Tour operator. Did not show up for 6.45am tour. Took no accountability. Blamed Viator. Booking confirmed

1.00The tour operator did not turn up 6.45 Sunrise kayak tour. We arrived 20 minutes early. Rang no response. Messaged on Watsapp. No surprise they blamed Viator for the error and Viator blame the tour operator. No compenstion offered after we requested for the taxi ride early in the morning. Poor service no accountability. Don’t book with this operator

4.00A wonderful way to see the caves - sunrise was gorgeous and you beat the crowds! Wear something warm (at least in September) and flip flops!

4.00Very good experience and what's more with a guide who speaks French the foot!!! just a small downside on the sitting comfort of kayaks, given the time spent on the water a file would have been welcome otherwise experience to live...
Highly recommend

5.00Very organized experience to see Benagil Cave and surrounding area. Kayaking speed was good and allowed short breaks throughout. Would recommend going as early as possible (we did 7am-9am) to avoid the masses of people/ boats .
Never again with Viator!!
