What an experience! - Such a fun few hours with Pancho! The views were incredible, the seas were calm, and the kayaks were easy to maneuver. Highly recommend! Note there are no facilities at the meeting point, so definitely change and use the restroom before you arrive if you don’t want to jump in the ocean. 😀

Awesome experience! - My friend and I chose this kayak tour as a bookend to our 12 days in Portugal and what a good decision it was. Our guide Pancho was very patient and helpful and gave us a good tour of the caves. We even accidentally ran our kayak into his SUP, knocking him over into the water, but he just laughed it off as a daily occurrence. We had a ball of a time and would recommend the activity to everyone visiting the Algarves.

Me and my friend did the... - Me and my friend did the 6:30am Benagil caves kayaking tour, and we had the BEST time. There was virtually nobody on the water, so it was easy to take photos and go in the caves, and we got to see everything. Our guides, Coco and Miguel were super friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the Algarve.

10/10 experience! - Couldn't recommend this more! Loved the team and the experience. My only recommendation is that, if possible, you should do the earliest tour possible, so that you miss the big crowds.

Book now! - Could not recommend this experience any more!! Truly an amazing time with very knowledgeable and lovely guides. Definitely worth what we paid, everything went smoothly from the meeting point up until the end. We were in Poco’s group and we admired his experience and expertise. He even shared a list of recommendations for the area for afterwards (food, beaches etc) which did not disappoint as the locals always know best! Group size was perfect and didn’t feel rushed. Thank you for a wonderful time :)

The views were beautiful!All He took photos and videos of the group throughout the outing and sent everyone copies afterwards which was very nice. All kayaks are doubles and we moved at a comfortable pace. The kayaks are comfortable. This excursion is highly recommended!

Great Kayaking Tour with Brotherootz! - Great experience with Brotherootz on this Kayak tour of the Benagil Caves. Picked us up at our hotel, following a short overview, got us out on kayaks. Our guide Franscisco (Poncho) was excellent, up beat and helpful throughout the tour. He took great photos which he shared. This was a really fun experience and a great way to see the caves up close! Highly recommend.

Nice landscape but in the way it is organised you are left struggling rather than enjoying - I participated solo at this tour. It wasn’t clear when I booked that the kayaks were of double seating so on spot they partnered me with another lady. They insisted I sit in the back although I mentioned I knew well how to paddle and that I wanted to take some pictures. They dismissed completely my request and insisted I sit in the back. During the whole journey of two hours I was left paddling pretty much on my own as the other lady didn’t know how to paddle and wasn’t putting an effort. Due to that I had no time to take pictures and as I was left in the back I also had less or visibility to take my own pictures. Even if I were at the front I would have still struggled but I would have been at least able to take some pictures of the landscape. When I complained to the tour guide that due to that I was missing all information he was providing at the group given we were always far away, he fully dismissed me saying that he only gave information once we also arrived. He didn’t ask how come we were always so much in delay or didn’t seem to notice that I was struggling and paddling pretty much alone. Given how much they insisted on this combination and me sitting on the back it would have been important for him to intervene, noticing the imbalance and kindly asking my co-pilot to also put some effort. Only at the very end and as he needed the group to get back on time he came to us and helped the other lady by him paddling instead of her, making it this time the two of us - me and the tour guide paddling. Although the landscape was amazing i am not that sure I would recommend to solo travellers. They seem to do a random combination and not looking after how that may not work. At the end this was a not enjoyable experience but a tiring and disappointing one that left me no time to appreciate the nature and the labdscape. A pity as I booked that two months in advance and I so much looked forward to it. It would have been important that we were clear this is a two people kayak at the time of the booking and that when the match is done for solo travellers by the tour guides they are clear this is a joined effort not one of the person that sits at the back and in case of issues they intervene early on.
