“Enjoyed the Jet skis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

Offer reduced rates for use in early mornings before 11.30am. Good equipment, helpful friendly staff. Accompany you in a boat to make sure you dont get out of control. We only did the jet skis

“Dolphin Safari Nightmare”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

We decided to go out on the Dolphin Safari & cave tour last sun. There had been heavy rain all morning but the staff taking us out assured us the sea conditions were safe. Around 15 mins into the journey the sea conditions were so rough the crew decided to go back to land. They just about managed to turn... More

“Parasailing in Vilamoura”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

Went parsailing here at the start of May. It was excellent. More than worth the money. The boatmen are nice and when one of us doing it had to come down (from a fear of heights) it was quick, safe and easily dealt with. They then sent the other me and the other person back up and it was just... More

“Rocket Ride”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

Regardless of the non answers given by the Polvo PR respondent, this ride is not safe in choppy water. I count myself lucky to be walking wounded and wish I had read the other reviews first. Traumatic and painful, imagine going at very high speed over speed bumps and potholes in a car with no suspension but you can't pull... More

Upon check in all our clients are asked to read our safety regulations and another safety breifing is given aboard, please note it is a 'Rocket Ride' a fast boat riding across the waves not a gentle cruise along the coast. By portuguese law the boats have to have a safety inspection each year and our skippers are all experienced... More
