Amazing!! We got to see so much in such little time. Dress warm is you’re going in the colder months (obviously). Our guides were awesome!

Did not disappoint -- we explored more caves than we expected -- good close exposure to interior of caves - great opportunities for photos. One observation - sitting on right side of the boat provided better opportunities for photographs of the shoreline on return trip to the marina. Company/staff focus on safety was noted and appreciated.
A fun, thrilling and informative way to explore the Benagil Caves

A fantastic experience! The skipper did a great job getting us across the bay. The music on board and waterproof jackets were great additions. The guide was very friendly and informative pointing out everything to look out for in the caves. Which were phenomenal…a stunning and thrill seeking way of seeing the Algarve coastline!

Great experience! Our captain and guide, Ivo and Telmo, made the speed boat ride adventurous with fast turns and informative with facts and history about the beautiful coastline! The weather cooperated and it was a great way to start the day.

We really liked the Days of Adventure tour company and the trip to the Benagil Caves - which is the main cave along with many others along the coast. It was simple check-in, boarding and really nice guides, accompanied by 80s and 90s music on our way to the caves and back. A really nice experience and we'd definitely recommend this company.

Booked this trip with my wife & her friend - Very good communication on the confirmation and meeting location. Great / Smooth ride out across the bay and to the Caves. Was able to get the RIB Boat into the Caves for pictures & our guide was great explaining the area and the different Caves & Grottos + Benagil Old town... Highly recommended but try to book in the Am trips when the wind & swells are lighter... Cheers from Canada, Eh

Rough waters so the ride over was tough. Not for children nor older people, due to the hard bounces of the boat. The rough waves prevented us from getting into let alone close to the Benegil cave. Regulations prevented access. We saw only two caverns. Disappointing. The earliest ride may help with calmer seas, but this is the big risk. We did the 11a trip.
Beautiful tour of caves

This was our first day in Lagos, and it provided a great introduction to the coast. We loved our tour guide and the trip. Try to sit up front on one of the 4 sets of two seats. Probably a better view of everything. We sat on one of the benches, and it was still great! You do NOT have to wear a swimsuit; you do not get out of the boat at any time. Most people wore just regular clothes, it might be different at different times of the year but we didn't get wet at all. Bonus we got to see dolphins too!
Well, the deal wasn't...

Well the deal was not good because we had a problem and they did not help us solve it or return the money quite disappointed, in contrast another Enterprise if k helped us and solved the problem without any mischief, and much cheaper
Interesting tour, uncomfortable seating.

Tour is about an hour as it takes about 30 minutes to drive by boat there and 30 back. Tour is very interesting as you literally pull inside a lot of the rock formations. Seats were a little uncomfortable. Would be nice just to let rows or something stand for a second to stretch. My tailbone was killing me. I know it could be a safety issue but I’m sure people standing in rows wouldn’t rock the boat.
