A more than pleasant experience in the company of Julie and Helder. We did not notice the 2 hours of the excursion passing by. Everything was great: the explanations (in French), the atmosphere on board the boat. Thank you to Julie for our exchanges and for taking the time to advise us during our stay. I recommend 🙂 Pauline.

It was a super great experience with Julie. She was super cheerful, nice, and always had a good remark about all the sights.

A really great ride, Julie is an excellent guide. She takes her time with everyone and is extremely witty and charming in many languages (German, French, English, etc.). We will definitely do this again, all thumbs up.

Superb excursion to the Benagil Caves! Very friendly, professional, and warm team. Entering the caves by boat was very impressive and magical to experience! The explanations in French about the coast were very interesting and the landscapes were magnificent. An unforgettable experience during our road trip in Portugal. Thank you very much!

Julie is a wonderful guide, she is welcoming, knowledgable, and funny! We had so much fun exploring the caves & learning about them. The boat trip is also fun windy but adds to the enjoyment! Highly recommend this smaller more personal trip rather than the larger one!

We had an absolutely exceptional experience with this family company! Julie, our guide, is simply great: funny, warm and very caring with everyone. She knows how to set a friendly atmosphere while sharing her knowledge with passion. Many thanks also to Heider, her husband, who drives the tyre with great control and professionalism. We feel totally confident from start to finish. The sea excursion along the cliffs of the Algarve, with the discovery of the magnificent caves including Benagil, is an unforgettable moment. A complementary duo, humane and very respectful of safety rules — making the experience even more enjoyable. We recommend this activity with your eyes closed! 🌊☀️

We had a superb outing of more than 2 hours. Excursions to practically all nice places. Private explanations. Julie cares about the smooth running of the ride. Even a small stop for those who want to take a little dip in the ocean. To be done without restraint Thanks to Julie and Hélder 👍
