5.00We did a 2.5 hour boat tour along the coast yesterday with all the caves and villages. The whole team was extremely funny and friendly. The boat in excellent condition. In any case optimal in terms of price performance and by the very funny explanations of the guide. Highly recommended!

5.00Very nice cruise from Albufeira to the cave of Banagil. Hugo, our Francophone guide was very interesting and participatory. The animation on board the catamaran was very pleasant. As a bonus, the captain allowed us to follow a group of dolphins that crossed our path.
Rough cruise to Benagil

4.00I think that one cannot compare the views of Algarve coast from a boat with a view from the cliffs! The view is brilliant! The only downside is that in high winds, the sea is rough and some people got sea sick. My partner was ok during the trip but became sick after. Not operator's faults, nobody can control weather... Unfortunately, Benagil beach was closed and the boat was too big to enter under to see the cave. Not all lost, we did drove and walked to that cave afterwards. There were some annoying people on the boat and couldn't fully enjoy the experience. Overall, if sea is calm and is a sunny day, the trip worth the money.
Beautiful sea cliff caves and lines are covered in this trip! The boat is very nice and comfortable! Enjoyable! Must do

5.00It was one of the biggest boats in the marina for this type of outing! We did not regret for a moment. It has a firm corner and toilet. It also has a fairly spacious (and well shaded) rear beach, a front (watch out for the waves!) and especially an upper deck. The multilingual guided tour is appreciated as is the dexterity at the manoeuvres of the captain!! We were able to discover the cave as close as possible, just like with a zodiac but comfort in addition! Missed for us as for dolphin watching but the rest was top! Thank you!

5.00This was a beautiful and relaxing experience. The crew were knowledgeable and funny. They showed us many places along the coast and gave us the stories that went along with the locations. They also recommended a wonderful local place to eat that had great food at low cost.
