The caves were great but the crew gave minimal explanation about what we were seeing. It seemed like other providers engaged with participants more and shared more information during the experience.

It was a very nice boat trip. The view of the coastal landscape and the entrance to the cave was impressive. Unfortunately, the booked and paid German-speaking tour was not available. Was a disappointment.

The crew were very nice and welcoming. The catamaran was comfortable even when we were speeding in the ocean and hitting the waves. Okay, it was not a smooth ride by any means because of ocean waves but we were not leaving with sore behinds. The caves were a very quick stop and were nice but not mind blowing. We saw no dolphins this day. Dolphins are wild animals and seeing them is not assured. The ocean trip looking for dolphins was rarely boring. Nothing to see but ocean and far off shore. Altogether, not a highlight of our Portugal tour thus far. Ponte de Piedada was a nicer tour, in our opinion.
