The trip was beautiful, beautiful those caves. The crew is very attentive, the boat itself is simple, not really comfortable for a 4 hour trip. Sanitary moderate myself have not been but fellow travelers have, both with walking difficulties so it was not really convenient to go to the toilet. I did ask about that when booking. Was indicated that the boat trip was also suitable for people with walking difficulties. Can't endorse that unfortunately. Must be taken into account when booking.

The crew were friendly and the boat was fine. The caves were worth a visit, the rest of the trip was quite dull, although you get good view of the coastline. It didn’t help that we were subjected to 4 hours of terrible 90s pop music on a loop, blared at top volume for the entire trip… ruined it for me really! Would I do it again, no. Was it worth the money, probably.
Great.

Highly recommended, a super nice excursion, seeing the coast from Vilamoura to Benagil, and visiting several caves. Everything perfect! Carlos and Michael super nice, very friendly and attentive the whole trip.

The caves are amazing well worth visiting. But it is quite a long trip which would have been made better by having a more engaging crew. There was no safety briefing at all. There was the beautiful coastline to see on the way there culminating in the amazing Benagil caves at the end of the first leg - the driver got as close as he could which was great. Got loads of photos. That took 2 hours. The way back was less engaging. There was only 5 minutes to swim and we didn’t see any dolphins. It’s not guaranteed but the crew didn’t mention it. They didn’t really say anything on the way back. This took two hours. So in short it was worth it for the viewing of the caves but it felt more like a trip to a destination rather than an experience.
