Amazing kayaking! - Such an amazing tour! Vitor and Allan did a great job getting our group of 9 out into the ocean and through the gorgeous arches and caves. Vitor shared lots of cool history about the area too. The surf can impact your booking so it's best to call ahead and plan some back-up dates to ensure you'll be able to get out to the caves safely.

Highly Recommended - Had an excellent experience on this tour and with this tour company. We were booked to go on a Tuesday morning, but got a text on the Monday to say the tour was cancelled because the forecast was too rough. We were offered a full refund, but we chose to book for the Thursday instead, and we were glad we did. The weather was beautiful and the sea was lovely and calm. Our tour guide Raphael was very knowledgeable and took great care of everyone. 10 out of 10. A word of warning. We went in late April, and while it wasn't overly crowded, there were still alot of people and boats around. I'd imagine at the height of the holiday season, the place would be very over crowded and may be a totally different experience.

One of the highlights of our trip. - Guides were great and informative. The caves and other features were amazing. The kayaks were easy to maneuver. Be prepared to get slightly wet as you get in and out of the kayak.

A Bucket-List Grand Adventure - It was an amazing tour. It was breathtaking to see the Algarve from the water. Our guides were kind, helpful, courteous, and informative. I am 68 and my husband is 75, but we felt very safe on this kayaking adventure. Thank you so much!

Excellent tour, experienced guides, patient and kind. - My 21 and 13-year-old did this kayak they really liked it. They’re both pretty strong, but they still were tired towards the end so I would suggest do this tour only if you know you can take the journey for two hours. The waters were rough and my son ended up losing his sunglasses however, someone else in the group lost their phone because of the jostling. Time management is essentially difficult on this trip even though they say two hours it could be 2 1/2 depending on the conditions of the wind and the so if you have a tour right after this, make sure you give enough time to book the next door.

Superb trip - Had such a wonderful couple of hours out on the water in the kayak. Rafa, our guide was so knowledgeable, friendly, fun and just and all round great person. Showed patience, had humour, and was extremely competent with great English. Would highly recommend this tour and will be doing it again should I go back to the Algarve

livinoaxaca highly recommended for tours/drivers - livinoaxaca tours with Jaime and Celeste were very helpful and fun! They booked us with Angel, a terrific guide at Monte Alban. He was knowledgeable, full of personal, family stories relating to the area and adapted to our interests--including finding a place in the shade to sit while our younger group member climbed all the pyramids! While Jaime drove, Celeste gave us lots of information, places to visit, eat and shop in Oaxaca as we wanted to explore on our own. Looking back, I wish we'd also booked a walking city tour with them!
