Discovery of the Portimao Caves - Excellent experience with a funny and interesting guide. There were only 5 of us on the boat, so the guide could customize the tour. Stop in several caves in addition to Benagil. Our guide spoke very well French, English and Portuguese. I recommend this excursion. The duration is also perfect.

Benagil caves boat ride - Great tour seeing the caves. We were in the Algarves for approx 5 days, and doing the tour in October provides a bit of a discount which is always a bonus. The tour guide and boat operator were very professional but also made it a fun experience as well as an educational one. The boats are set up so that everyone has a great view of the caves and the shoreline.

Spectacular boat tour - Don’t miss out on this spectacular boat tour with Captain Carlos! I highly recommend this experience which allows you to view the coastline and spectacular cliffs before venturing into the awe inspiring caves. The tour guide is funny and informative and Captain Carlos has the boat driving skills of a true Viking, which I suspect he is! You must take this tour to see first hand the vibrant colors and natural wonder of these caves- don’t miss out on the photo opportunities! I can’t recommend it enough!!

An exciting experience - The trip with Royal Nautic along the rocky Algarve with access to various caves was exciting and informative (Bruno) and we felt super safe at the Captain (Carlos). One could do without the offer of swimming from the boat, as this is only possible briefly and waiting for fellow passengers on the small boat lying on the spot (and swaying) is not necessarily pleasant. Overall but absolutely recommended !

redundant jokes - Captain was good. Loved having a small boat to go into the caves. Guide was friendly but kept saying the same jokes about Morroco, kayakers were penguins, etc. So jokes got old.
