5.00Fantastic tour of the caves. Our two hour trip from Portimao was THE BEST and I highly recommend. At first, I was a bit skeptical about our small pontoon-like boat but it turned out to be fantastic as we could go into some caves deeper and see a lot. We sat in the very front and had unobstructed views of everything. Our tour guide was informative and fun. And helpful to get on and off the boat. Amazing coastlines. The boat driver was very experienced and we didn’t get wet at all. Dress in layers to keep warm though! Trip well priced for the experience.
Excellent must do excursion!

5.00Fabulous must do experience. Logan, our guide and his friend, our captain (I can't remember his name) were excellent and very fun. Accommodating when we wanted to take photos, too. The cliffs, caves and water are exquisite and the smaller group was a terrific part of this trip. Highly recommend using this company and this tour. It was the highlight of our stay in Carvoeiro.
Excellent excursion!

5.00An 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!
Top notch tour!

5.00A 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!

Super Mario and Super Caves

5.00We 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!!!
Awesome Experience on the Cave Tour

5.00We 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!
