A great way to see the amazing sea caves of the Algarve - Had an amazing time with our guides Joao and Miguel. Although they do these tours all the time, it still felt personalized and unique. Joao is a master boat captain too. Thanks for a great experience!

One of the best things we did during our 2 weeks in Portugal. - The experience far exceeded our expectations. The captain (Joao) and assistant (Logan) were fun, informative, and highly skilled. We weren't sure how many sea caves we would explore -- thinking maybe 4-6, with long rides between, but on this 90 minute tour we saw dozens in a relatively short travel distance.
The skills to get in and out of the caves safely were amazing -- as was the skill to navigate back to Carvoeiro without getting us soaked (as there were stiff winds blowing water off of the top of the swells.
Although there are a lot of tour companies, we recommend using Carvoeiro Caves -- their smaller boats and launch location (from Carvoeiro Beach) make for the best tour.
A couple of things to think about in booking a sea cave tour. When we were there, the seas were much calmer in the morning than in the afternoon. Also be aware of the tides and try and pick a time the tide is lower. Many of the caves are too tight to get into at higher tides.

Family friendly - Really happy we booked this boat trip.
The personnel was super friendly and the captain very experienced.
I’m usually not a big fan of very touristy things but this was very pleasant. Would recommend!
Took the trip with my 18 month old son and 4 year old daughter and they both liked it a lot.
