From the kindness of the worker Andreia in the booking, the good conditions of the boat, the amazing landscapes we saw, up to the fantastic team on board. We visited several caves, but we were delighted with the Benagil cave. Everything is well organized, and special attention is given to children. My kids with 5 and 3 year olds loved it.

We chose this Benagil tour because of the reviews of the guides Pedro and Andreia. This was the right call! They were both very knowledgeable (Portimao natives!) and very nice and friendly. Pedro is extremely good at driving the boat (on ocean waves with many other boats around, not once was it bouncy!)
We had a surprise visit from Dolphins (after Andreia said they rarely come this close to shore!).
With so many options for trips to Benagil from Portimao, we are very glad to have chosen this one.

Beyond beautiful guided tour. Starting with stuff that are so nice and friendly, always trying their best. Bout super new and comfortable and clean, which it’s rare with other companies in Algarve, usually it’s an old and dirty ones. They are not in hurry, they stop in several caves, allow you to take pic pictures with time and swim, we also have been lucky to see dolphins. Everything was just perfect

Exceptional walk away from very tourist spots.
Our Guide was very attentive, especially for children and took the time to provide all his explanations.
Comfortable boat and swimming at sea at the end was delicious.
