Great vibes on the boat, not crowded and everyone was participating with questions that enhanced our time there. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to see more of the Algarve coast.

5.00Nice view, great driven, and plenty of opportunities offered to enjoy the view. Tour guides gave a lot of information but didn't talk too much.

5.00Wonderful experience with our tour guide Logan. He was very knowledgable and fun. The coast is gorgeous. We weren’t able to enter the caves due to unstable cliffs, as a result of recent rains, but it was still well worth viewing the coastline and rock formations from the water.
An amazing experience

5.00We did this experience today 18th February 2026, we had joao and Alex as our skipper and tour guide, they were very informative and also made the experience very pleasant. They spoke good English, we weren't allowed close to the cliff edges or into the caves as Portugal had been hit by 6 different storms over the winter and there had been some rock falls. I highly recommend this experience we've had a brilliant couple of hours out at sea.
Great fun
