My best Algarve memory! - 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!

Great value for money, perfect way to explore the Algarve coastline. Private beach and BBQ was fantastic! - 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

Sun, sea & sickness - 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.

Good day trip - 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.

Disappointing - Good day however disappointed with the food (only a slice of melon for dessert so if you don't like anything else, no coffee...) and no drink included on board (for a fee) apart from one glass of fruit juice or wine during a meal on the beach. Concerning the kayaks there were none, neither fins nor masks... only 3 paddles for 50 people so we didn't do any since people jumped on them and we didn't let go until the departure of the beach. So good but a little expensive for the service.

Horrible - This was the wrost activity iv ever tryied in my life. It took me all the day for being in a boat for a 2h hour traject (without music and no ambiance) for finally arrive on the portimao public beach! So iv paid 75€ to go on a public beach by boat. I was able to do it my self with my car
 i book this activity in order to visite algarve caves, beaches that are not accessible by walk and enjoy a good day
if a knew that it was going to be like this i swear you can pay me 50€ i will not loose a day of vacation for this.
