We ate sardines, octopus, shrimps, squids and cod, everything was very typical and high quality. Scarpetta in the tomato soup was heaven. The tour was very nice and our guide Pedro too (p.s our kayak pal, who suggested us this place, luv u <3) 🦭 Gracias

This was a horrible experience!!! The place is way too crowded. Near the start, but in deep water we got rammed by another boat and the choppy water made it very difficult to get back on the kayak and so we gave up at the beginning. We found the kayak to be very unstable. The guide recognizing the difficulties said we could get a refund but later the owner refused. Go with a different company! Even if we had made it, there was a queue to get in the caves and it seemed like there would be little time for anything else beyond the very close caves

The caves were scenic and our family enjoyed the trip, but be warned that it is crowded. We were there in the afternoon, peak summer time and there were hundreds of people in line for the kayaks. It was a little tricky to find the company since there were so many kayak rental companies in the area. We had to wait in line for someone to return the kayaks before they could launch you. There were no instructions given on safety or where the caves were. They were rushing and launched my child by himself without an adult in the kayak so we had to get them to bring him back to shore so we could board. In the chaos, someone returning a kayak lost control and slammed into my leg with their kayak and drew blood. Once on the water, we had a great time entering the caves, getting out on the beach in the caves and taking family pictures. You can spend as much time as you like enjoying the tour with no pressure to return at a certain time. However, there so many other boats that paddling felt like playing dodgeball to avoid collisions. Good thing we are experienced kayakers. If you have never kayaked before, this probably isn’t the best place to learn. I would recommend booking the first time slot of the day to try to avoid the crowds.

Really enjoyable activity! To do early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Don’t have too many expectations in terms of supervision and explanations… Accessible to anyone who has already kayaked at least once

Did not do the activity. At the meeting point there was a van with no sign of the business. Inside, lounged, there were 2 teenage girls semi-sleeping in a cloud of weed smoke. They checked my voucher and told me to look for Andrés, “the only one wearing a pink shirt on the beach, tell him that Daniella sent you”. Benagil beach is chaotic, super crowded, there was a long line of people waiting to get their kayaks, no pink shirt. I looked for 15 minutes. My kids were so upset to see me helpless. I never appreciated more a Uber than then. So it is a funny story if you weren’t in it. Overall a scam. Do not do it. Waste of time, money and expectations.

We enjoyed the experience of kayaking and the beautiful landscape, but we do not recommend this service. We had to wait an hour at the beach before getting the equipment and the staff was a little rude. There are many other rental services, so I wouldn’t pick this one.

Kayaking to Benagil Caves is a must! There's no need for a guided tour, we were able to do this on our own and saved money. This company provide all we needed. Also they were helpful with our kids. Making sure to load and unload them from the kayaks on the beaches when we departed and arrived. Will recommend and book again!

A fantastic experience, would recommend to lovers of adventure. Beautiful caves and glorious waters. Be wary of deceiving coves, even if they may look inviting – do not let them lure you in! Staff were nice enough and did not charge extra after we had difficulty battling the waves exiting from a bay.
