Diamond kayaking worth booking! - We had an awesome 2 hour tour along the coastline and into the many caves. Our guides name was Lovely and he was fantastic! Professional and knowledgeable. We booked online based on other reviews as we didn't want to chance not getting a tour at the beach. Being the winter season it was not busy and we ended up being the only 2 on the tour. A private tour on a beautiful sunny day! I would highly recommend this company.

Definitely book! - Great experience. I booked the tour last minute whilst I was at the beach. The team are super nice and helpful. The tour was great. We had time to swim at the end if we wanted to in a really nice spot. The guide was informative and provided history of the area.

Great kayak fun - First, you need to get there a bit early, the large parking lot is at the top & then you walk down the hill to the beach. Look for the yellow Umbrella & guys in yellow t-shirts. We took the 10:00 tour so there were still places to park, by the time we returned the parking was full. If weather is warm I would recommend the 8:00am tour as the water & caves were getting a bit crowded. All the workers were very helpful in getting our group ready ,in kayaks & on our way. Our 2 guides that kayaked with us were great, especially the guide named Lovely. They guided us all to each cave, the beach for a break & talked about the area. There were some who never kayaked before & I felt our guides did such a good job to make sure everyone was safe. They were very friendly & took pictures for us all. Never felt rushed. I would highly recommend this tour.

Lovely Kayak Tour at Benagil Cave, Algarve! - I am so glad be booked this tour with Diamond Tours! Lovely (Our tour guide and kayaker extraordinaire) did a wonderful job of taking us into the Benagil Cave in Algarve, as well as kayaking into some of the smaller caves and then on to Marinha Beach! We had great conversation, lots of laughs and we were even able to get a swim in. Lovely had a heart of gold and a wonderful personality - and also share a lot of knowledge of the various caves and cliffs! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and I would recommend him and Diamond tours to anyone!

Unforgettable experience with a great team. - Superb experience kayaking right the way into several caves with our guide who brought real flavour to the trip. We went at 8am which I think was the best time - the coast and ocean was getting very busy by 10am. The use of waterproof bags was a nice touch. The guys were friendly and helpful. But the star of the show was the cliff and caves - absolutely stunning. An unmissable experience.

Kayak - Nice tour. Efficient. Not too much waiting despite a big group. Lacks explanations about landscape ( that is why I give 4 and not 5)

Great experience but got hurt - Kayaking and scenery was beautiful. I had an accident getting out of the kayak on one of the beaches which left me with a lot of scrapes and cuts on my legs. A bit of feedback would be to perhaps give a little more guidance on how to safely exit and enter the kayak when you're doing it on your own in quite strong tides. The introduction was incredibly brief and the man also seemed frustrated with us that we didn't land back on the main beach exactly where he wanted us to, despite not actually telling us... all in all, definitely worth doing but be careful!

Poor Organisation and Tour Experience - While location was great the organisation was very poor. We were simply given a kayak and pushed out to sea with no directions on where to go, where to meet the tour guide, safety etc. The place was incredibly busy and there was an unfriendly/annoyed attitude from the guides. Very little talking from the guides about the area and clearly were just trying to get the tour over. No clear directions on how to arrive on the beach. Would recommend trying one of the other companies as this was poorly run from the start.

Zero safety. Zero enjoyment. - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The guide did not give any instructions or lifesaving advices. We were left to ourselves to go intro the ocean. We did not spend time on the beaches as mentioned. Just 15 minutes on the first one. You will spend TWO HOURS in the sea. One of us al kat fainted and NOBODY helped us to go back. We were yelling at the guide but nobody was listening. Plus they are not frendly. If you want to have fun choose another company the other companies seemed way more better!
