Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great experience as the sun was beaming and the views were beautiful. Pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food on the beach was: salad, bread, meats including grab. Drinks on board were reasonable priced, staff were friendly and helpful. The only down side was the wind made us unsuccessful at arriving at the original beach, which meant another hour/two on the boat to get to a different beach, which resulted in seasickness. Other than that, brilliant.

A highlight of our holiday! Booking was easy and the trip was good value. we arrived early at the marina. A few boats were booked and we missed the call for our departure, but the captain rang me and we boarded with his help. Nice touch, thanks! The boat was clean and in good condition. There were about 25 people on board and the guides were very helpful, friendly, attentive and told us about the places that we were passing. Andre was a great guide and looked after us very well. The captain was very skillful and got us into the caves to see the main features. It was a very good excursion, I would definitely recommend it.

This was the highlight of my Algarve visit. The staff were so helpful when we got lost on our way. Once we finally boarded it was perfect. Not overly crowded, we could easily move about the boat for different views. The staff were so friendly and happy, and they did their jobs well. I loved the boat trip, cruising through the water, enjoying the sunshine and the coastline. The caves were beautiful! The captain is so skilled at manoeuvring the boat… a pleasure to watch! And the crew launching the tender did a great job too. Lunch was good, several protein choices and a yummy salad! A couple of suggestions when you are going… remember ocean-friendly sun screen and a hat. Maybe a second towel to sit on at the beach, mine got quite sandy. They brought beach umbrellas. Water friendly footwear, waterproof bag for your shore transfer. Drinks are available for purchase on the boat, Wine, juice and water included with lunch. You might want to bring your own water for the sailing part. If you like a lazy day on the water with a beach BBQ lunch and beach time, this one might fit. We loved it!

What a wonderful trip. Make sure to bring plenty of sun cream. Staff were so friendly, the boat goes into Benagil cave and avoids all kayak traffic. My favourite part was the private beach, only reachable by boat. Crew had umbrellas and a bbq ready when we arrived. Paddle boards and kayaks could be used which were so much fun. BBQ was delicious. Such great value for money and a perfect way to spend a day on the Algarve coastline

The staff were great….one came round and gave us a few bits of info about what we were seeing along the way in either Portuguese or fluent English.
Bar was reasonably priced on board.
The barbecue stop was stunning and the food was acceptable. Salad was lovely.
Negatives:
it’s a long way to the caves…2 hours on the boat with nothing to do. A stop at a beach or a chance to swim would have broken it up.
Free drinks at beach barbecue….only squash and wine.
There were kayaks on the boat but the staff only took the sup boards to the beach so only 4 to share.

Travelled for an hour to reef which is fine equipment very poor quality worn out cheap reels and spinning type rods caught very few very small aquarium size fish approximately 6 tiny fish 12 paying customers on boat generally when fishing poor captain moves to find more productive grounds captain couldn’t have cared less this was without doubt the most mind numbing endurance test I have experienced re fishing and I have over 50 years experience as an angler don’t waste your money fish from the shore for free .date of trip Aug 8 2023
