A beautiful experience - We decided spontaneously to take a ride. A mega nice skipper and a wonderful landscape. The boat was pleasant and even the ship itself was in the best skipper hands. A beautiful experience. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful experience - We took the boat trip in a small boat. It was a wonderful experience. The captain expertly guided us through the breathtakingly beautiful caves. He also provided a lot of explanation in a humorous way. Highly recommended!

Perfect boat tour - We had a great time on our Algarve Grotto trip. It was a small boat with just our family of four, the captain, and Frank, the narrator. We learned a lot about the history of Lagos and were able to drive into a few of the caves and grottos. It was an hour trip, which was just perfect for our family, including two teenagers. Lagos is a special place with an incredibly beautiful coastline! I recommend this tour for an up close view.

Cave cruise in Lagos - Very pleasant and great German tour of Algarve Grotto Trips. The tour was fun and the story about Algarve was also interesting to listen to. The cave ride is a must-see in the Algarves 👍

Setback! - This boat trip would take 45 minutes with a Dutch guide. The tour started 10 minutes late. There was no Dutch guide. He was sick, we were told. This is the 2nd time we have experienced this in our holiday. Both times the Dutch guide is sick. Too coincidental. We were allowed to move the excursion to another day. They should have told us about this in advance. Not until you're ready to leave. They had our phone number. Although nature is beautiful, we got the feeling that the guide was skimming everything on autopilot. A cave was only entered for a very short time. Just enough time to take a picture, but I couldn't look around anymore. We had left too late, but we returned right on time. Not too satisfied on several fronts. Meeting place is well explained. Good attention is paid to safety. Group size was good (10 people and 2 supervisors). Nevertheless, it is difficult to take photos without other (parts of) people in your photo. Beautiful nature Poor guidance Promised timeframe is not kept. Not beforehand informed about absence of Dutch guide
