5.00These tour operators were top notch! Excellent driver came so close to the walls and rocks that I was certain he would hit, but that never happened. The commentary was fun and funny and included some history bits and local info without ever getting dull. This boat also had cushioned seats which was a plus! I would recommend this tour to anyone. It’s the best boat tour of my life!
Incredible journey

5.00Amazing value - the trip was the perfect amount of time to have a full tour of the caves. We entered as many as the host would fit into and were able to see inside many of the caves. The tour guides also had a a lot of interesting facts and fun names for the various rocks and caverns.
Fantastic Quaint Boat Tour with Incredible Guides!

5.00This was a fantastic tour! We will do it every single time we visit, and we will now only use this company should we do any other tours in the future. The guides were incredibly energetic, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. They really took their time to explain the local history and allowed plenty of time for pictures, even stopping to take photos of families at the very best spots. We always felt completely safe, and it was a great value. The boat itself isn't huge, so the tour felt wonderfully quaint, unlike the massive, crowded boats we passed along the way. We absolutely recommend it!
Great guides, Stunning views.

5.00We took the boat tour through the caves of Lagos from the Marina with Lagos Grotto Trips. It has been the best tour we have done of all our trips, and without a doubt, it has been achieved thanks to the professionalism, friendliness, and empathy of Igor and João, who have made every effort to give us a unique experience that will remain forever in our best memories. They have taken photos of us, made videos, and allowed us to swim for a little while in the wonderful turquoise waters. I especially recommend it with these two magnificent guides.
