Diogo and Sam were awesome guides and we really enjoyed our time out on the waves checking out the caves, or more accurately the algars! You do get wet but once out on the water it’s not too cold even in February and the sun was on our side! Thanks again :)

The tour guide Raf was very funvy and told interesting stories and the capitain of the boat knows his job very well, because the waves were very difficult to handle. We saw different caves beside the one of Benagil.

Very nice experience for exploring the Benagil cave. Our guide was very interesting, have a good sense of humour and took care of everyone well even though waves were a bit strong at some parts.

We like the starting point at Carvoeiro Beach being close to the different caves including the Benagil Cave. The smaller boat can maneuver inside the caves.

Bon séjour mais j'ai fait là queue,:ce n'était pas un billet coupe-fil

Zach and Jack are great, and the caves were beautiful!!
