Stunning caves - We were collected from our hotel and taken to the beach. All of the staff were happy and friendly. A big thank you to Pina and Maria for making our tour both interesting and humorous. The caves are stunning.

Absolutely Amazing - Nothing short of amazing! We were expecting a nice tour of the waterfront and caves but instead had an experience that put us in awe of the beauty and exhilarated by the power of the sea. Fabio and Pina were the greatest captains navigating the sea and getting us inside many caves.

Perfection in Portugal!! - We cannot say enough about our private tour of the caves! We had Kira and Pinto as our captain and guide, and they were phenomenal! They were knowledgeable and shared lots of history about each cave and beach. But more importantly, they were just good conversationalists and made the trip even more enjoyable. Never have I seen such amazing boat driving - to navigate into the caves like he did, not to mention around kayakers and paddle boarders…he was outstanding! It was the perfect tour; we went at 9am and thought it was perfect. Cannot recommend this enough, and I see why they are the #1 boat tour for the caves.

Wonderful cave tour - We have been in Portugal for 2 months & this was the best tour! GPS & Pinto were our guide & boat driver! The scenery was incredible & driving into those caves takes some expert maneuvering! We had a wonderful time & highly recommend Sétima Onda cave tours!

Wonderful private experience not to be missed - We thoroughly enjoyed our private boat tour experience and would recommend this option for folks wanting a more personal, less crowded experience. We tend to prefer not being in large tours and getting to experience trips by asking questions and getting personalized attention. Our pickup was right on time from our hotel and return was also seamless. Even had a chance to enjoy a Sagres at a nearby cafe before going back to our hotel after the tour. Domi and Pina were both excellent!!! Talk about great guys, Domi shared good information and Pina drove the boat into the caves safely. We were impressed with the maneuvering especially with other boats and kayaks. They made the experience one to remember and took some amazing photos for us to cherish. Additionally, with the changes it was wonderful to experience Benagil cave without a bunch of instagrammers ruining the experience and taking up the small beach. Personally, we thought the change was a good one to preserve nature and appreciate the beauty. We also loved that we could deboard at a location and experience being inside on the sand for a personal moment. Early morning was definitely the best time to go as the water was calm and only the kayakers and some boats were out but we could only imagine how crowded it would be later in the day. As someone with sea motion sickness, I didn’t experience that at all, so something to consider if you choose later in the day as it may be more choppy of a ride. Also, given our morning time we did bring light sweater and sweatshirt and while I was fine, my husband was glad he did as the wind on a boat can leave a chill even in warm weather. Not something you think about in paradise but wanted to mention for others considering a morning time. Many thanks again to Setima Onda, Domi and Pina for making our trip such a memorable one.

Great experience at Benagil cave!! - This tour was so much fun. GPS and Dommy ( Our 2 guides) did a great job driving the boat, providing history of the coastline and caves and ensuring we had a good time with laughs!! Part of tour was to Benagile cave and we had.it all too ourselves. Definitely worth taking thod tour, highly recommend . Pay the extra and do the private version for just you and your family.

Private Boat Tour - Not to be missed. Ask for GPS and Peno :-) - This review is long overdue -- We experienced the private boat tour to the Bengali Cave in Oct and it is not to be missed. GPS and Peno were the perfect tour guides. They take pride in showing visitors the beauty of the Algarve, and were very friendly and entertaining. The process to board and leave the boat was efficient and safety taken into consideration as well. Highly recommend this tour and Setima Onda!
