A perfect experience with amazing locals - I know that there are a lot of options when choosing a tour but this experience was definitely the best and I’m so glad we chose it. We did the kayak tour with Alan and it was amazing!! We had a great time seeing the owners farm and experiencing the caves through a locals perspective. Going in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the lower tide was perfect. We got to experience this without a large group which made it even better. We got to see so many caves and were given such good instruction. If you have the choice I would definitely recommend this company. We hope to come back again :)

Fickle weather - Unfortunately time and a decision by the authorities led to the cancellation of the exit. But the manager was very helpful and ns allowed to park at his house so ns could hike the 7 valleys (magnificent). We'll be back to make the exit

Best Kayaking experience in the Algarve - If you are wanting to see the caves along the Algarve coast, including Benagil, without the congestion of the Benagil beach area then this is the great tour for you. The meeting place is at Vitor's family farm which my wife really appreciated. Atfer a short walk to a private beach with good conversation with Vitor about the local area we set off with Allan our guide for a couple of hours of adventure on the water. Can't say enough about Allan's ability to read his group's abilities and the local sea state for entering the various caves. We passed many of the larger, uncordinated groups from other tour companies and it was obvious they were not having the same experience as us. Highly recommend Eco Tours for a very memorable time.

Such a great experience! - This was an amazing tour! So many cool hidden caves and beautiful areas... Our host Vítor was so friendly and full of knowledge, and it was great to be able to park in a safe area and to start and end on a beautiful uncrowded beach. Our guide Alan was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, giving us so much information about the area along the way. He also was very safety-conscious, making us feel comfortable and safe. This was one of the best tours I've ever taken, and I recommend it whole-heartedly!

This kayaking trip was... - This kayaking trip was probably the highlight of our 9-day trip to Portugal! Vitor and his team were very friendly and knowledgable. They sent us detailed information about where to meet and park the day before. Rather than leaving from one of the popular, crowded beaches, we disembarked from a quieter area that is used mostly by locals. Their recommendations (smaller group, earlier morning departure) made for the perfect trip. There was fog over the water when we departed which broke just in time to see Benagil cave and several other stunning caves and rock formations. We were a smaller group so we were able to move quickly between the sites and to have the caves to ourselves at each stop. It is also clear that they prioritize safety and sustainability, which is important to us! Would recommend.

Beautiful Day Kayaking in Benagil - The entire experience was amazing! We started a bit later due to the tides, which was better for us😴. The introductory time was interesting and fun to meet all of the other participants from all over the world. We headed out to the water and felt taken care of by the guide. We saw incredible caves, beautiful views, and learned about Algarve history. The entire adventure lasted longer than 2 hours- we enjoyed every minute of it. Don’t hesitate to book this excursion!!!

Highly recommend a trip with Manuel! - An amazing and personal trip with Manuel. We could see huge groups going by which just didn't have the personal touch or attention that we had. Highly recommend this small & personal tour!

This tour is a dream - Due to the smaller number of people taking part in a tour, this tour gets its own character and you don't feel like it's just a tourist departure. The guide is always concerned with the safety of the participants and is simply cool. Smaller stops for bathing are also included and the stated time of two hours, was exceeded to the delight of everyone. Highly recommended and the perfect tour for a little adventure.

Fantastic kayak tour ! - Fantastic tour ! Even if our tour has been brought forward (notified by email & whatsapp - only seen later by us) they received us anyway, and with my partner we went out with our guide Daniel, like a private tour. Really nice guy who could speak different language, and was eager to explain to us the different spots we were kayaking by while going to the Benagil cave ! Really recommand !
