5.00This was a really fantastic tour. I have been to Praia da Rocha a number of times and don’t know how I haven’t done this before. Great communication I received a WhatsApp with a pin to ensure I knew exactly where to meet which was very helpful. When we got there the team were super friendly. I loved the speed boat with the seats it was just so relaxing. Because it was early in the season and no one was likely to want a swim stop they said we would try to find the dolphins on the way out to the caves. Unfortunately no luck with that but it was so lovely bouncing out over the waves! When we came back around to the caves they were made sure to explain everything to everyone in the various different languages and offered to take photos for everyone in the caves which was super nice. The 2 hours few by and it was one of the best things I have done in Praia Da Rocha and couldn’t recommend highly enough. It was nice to be seated and not to be trying to get past people for photos etc. It was just really well ran and great fun!
Wonderful staff and service

5.00It was a great experience with beautiful views of many caves. We were running late due to a delay with the tenders from the ship and the tour company was gracious enough to wait for us AND pick us up at the port. Very thankful for them going the extra mile for us so we could experience this beauty of Portimao.
Worth the trip. Loved the smaller boat and intimate experience

5.00Miguel picked us up from our hotel, exactly on time. We met Joao at the peer, where we were fitted with our life jackets and boarded the rubber boat. Both guys were funny, informative and personable. They brought us to see the dolphins feeding as well as the caves. We thought it was an extremely entertaining, inexpensive trip. Thank you for a lovely morning on the Portuguese coast. Yvonne and Lisa

5.00We enjoyed every bit of the two hour cruise to discover benagil caves. Lorenzo and the guide were really nice,informative, they really transferred the love for their job, for the sea and for the Algarve! The iconic cave is superb but the girl guide managed to make us fall in love with most of the others we visited during the tour! We also met some fishermen and had few words with them showing us their catch of the day! We have been lucky as travelling in January everything was calm and really enjoyable. Well done, we would choose you again!
Amazing experience!!!!!

5.00We loved the experience with this team of people so professional, from the driver of the van that took us to the port to board the boat with which we went to visit the caves, to captain and guide Marcelo and Ricardo, great!!! They made every effort to make us have a great time and they really got it. We had a great time!!! We will definitely repeat with Portiturs.
