Amazing tour - The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. During the boat tour, the weather was quite unstable—as is typical in April—with occasional rain and rough waves. But the crew made the most of it and kept the mood lively throughout. At the scenic spots, the sun came out, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of nature. We also had some free time on the beach, which gave us a chance to truly relax.

Wonderful experience - Sebastian drove us (very well) in a comfortable van from Faro to a fantastic viewpoint on the cliffs, then to boarding (departure and arrival of the typical boat, I leave you surprised...). Luciano made the comments, he is very cheerful and friendly and William, the captain is a fine navigator who in addition made us the comments in French because we did not understand English, a big thank you to him. The tour is fabulous. Then Sebastian took us to a dream beach (first go to the right of the chapel) where we had a picnic and shh! a little more in the cliff. Everything is super well organized. We were 3 sisters from 65 to 76 years old, quite worried and borrowed and all the animators reassured us well. Bravo and thank you.

Fantastic Last-Minute Boat Tour Experience! - I booked this boat tour last minute during my short stay in Faro, and it turned out to be an incredible experience! Everything was so well planned and executed, making the trip seamless from start to finish. Our tour guide was outstanding accommodating, informative, and incredibly friendly. He made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of, which really enhanced the experience. The entire tour ran smoothly, with everything happening on time and exactly as described. Not a single inconvenience along the way! I’m super grateful for this amazing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Faro.

Great tour - definitely recommend seeing Benagil from the water. - Last minute booking that we are very pleased we made, as it was probably the best day of our trip. As we’d based ourselves in Faro, we were looking for a tour that didn’t set off too early and the pick up at 10am suited use really well for this. Sebastian is friendly, knowledgeable and because it was quieter, really flexible with our day so we got lots packed on. Seeing Benagil and the surrounding coastline from the water is a must, but we also had time to walk along the cliff tops and the local irises are beautiful at this time. The beach time afterwards gives you not one but two beautiful beach choices with good amenities (take cash as one restaurant on the beach is cash only).

A fantastic day, with spectacular scenery. - A fantastic day with Sebastian. The puck up point was easy to find. Sebastian was Knowledgeable and friendly. The boat tour was excellent with Miguel as our guide and Leo as our captain. I would defined do the boat tour option. The scenery was spectacular. We then had the opportunity to swim in the sea and although it was cold (March) it was a great experience. In a small group it was a wonderful way to see a part of the beautiful Algarve region.

Must do!!!!! - What a great day!! Claire and Sebastian were very knowledgeable and kind guides. Since it was the off-season, we got to do a few extra things, including seeing the Benagil Cave from the top after driving through it on our boat. On board the boat, Vitor and William were great guides that kept the tone light and keeping us safe. William, “James Bond”, even got us up onto the beach like we were in a movie. A trip to Portugal would be incomplete without an experience like this one!
