An amazing experience,, don't miss this. Nice small boats, max 8 or so. They zip you along the coast taking you into the most magnificent caves, but not just into the entrance, right into the cave, sometimes through the tightest of spaces, some opening up into Cathedral like caves, others smaller and darker. The very experienced driver and guide add just a touch of thrill to the experience. The crews (2 to each boat) are mainly younger who clearly enjoy themselves, very friendly and plenty of humour. This was the highlight of our week!

A beautiful experience along the coast! You get to travel by boat into the caves, with fun guides that provide information about the area. Take your shoes off before you go to the boat and leave at the meeting area. There is a step to get into the boat and the guides are helpful to lend a hand to help!

Spectacular experience between land and sea in search of the caves of the Algarve. Alex and Miguel (captain and guide) are fantastic.

We took the cave trip after hiking a bit on top of the cliffs of The Hanging Valley Trail… It was absolutely the perfect way for us to then see the caves from the water. The skipper, “Super”Mario did a fantastic job weaving in and out of the , at times, questionable caverns! Our guide, Daniel, was kind, and charming, and very knowledgeable… We all agreed that it was one of the best things we’ve done our holiday in Portugal!!! Thanks for the best way for all ages to see the caves!!!

We had such a great time on this cave boat tour! We got to see so many beautiful caves and incredible rock formations — it was such a cool experience from start to finish. Our guide, Logan, was fantastic — super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful the entire time. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and it made the tour even better. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

Very very cool. Definitely want to do this tour in a speed boat not a kayak or larger boat. They were able to take us right into the caves. Alex the guide and Guio (spelling??) captain were both fantastic. Highly recommended.

The excursion is very good, the boat is not as big as other boats and this makes you can enter more or better caves the rather anodyne boys on the crossing
