Best day, better people - Myself and 5 friends went on this yacht for the day and had the best time of our lives! Between us we had been to Europe over 15 times and this was by far the best experience to date. Gil, Luís, and the rest of the crew were very welcoming and attentive throughout the day. From snorkeling to paddle boarding to just having a good time, these guys were the best. Left my wallet in the van and Gil met me at the airport early in the morning to give it back to me! God bless! 10/10

Great experience! - My experience was wonderful, everything you read in descriptions and reviews corresponds to reality. Not only we visited some beautiful sites but the 2 hosts have been superlative. They know the area very well, they offer super punctual pick-ups, they are super nice and very welcoming, in the end it feels like having 2 new friends. Book without hesitation, you won't regret it! I will definitely be back!

FABULOUS DAY!!! - The best part of my trip was the the local guides Gil and Luis "The Captains". Always careful of what is best and what we need, guiding us in the best possible way of the inside trade knowledge they have and the tips they know. Guides Gil and Luis, made us feel at home and comfortable and at the same time that the boat is ours to enjoy! Good and experienced of the shore ...guide us trough the DOLPHINS and in that day we even saw a WALE ( was the first time for them also, they said with excitement) Good tour for couples, family or friends. We socialise a lot with the rest of the tourists on tour, another couple ( John and Beth) and 3 amazing friends from USA, living and working in Germany (The heart given Megan, Sweet and Strong Robin and the Fearless Rebecca) :-) By end of day we were all talking to each other, exchanged contacts and photos of the Tour :-) We stopped 2 times along the Tour to swim, dive, do snorkelling and stand up paddle activities . It was a fabulous day passed in Arrabida waters in that wonderful Atlantic Ocean , it was amazing! We felt very safe all the time and accompanied by the them - the team of ocean bliss tour They are very professional, knowledgeable and organised . I highly recommend them.

Perfection! - You could not ask for a better way to spend the day!! This was a gorgeous and relaxing day with the most gracious men! They took care of all of us and were so attentive to my 78 & 81 year old parents!! It should be on everyone’s list of activities!

Great - Absolute fantastic day full of great activities We made stand up paddling, visiting the caves, earing great local food and visited the beach and saw dolphins. Nice captain and steward

1000% do this, you won’t regret it - This was one of the best days of our lives. We went with 7 total people and had an absolute blast. The two hosts we had, Luis and ** were incredibly friendly and helped point out some very cool areas of interest. We got to paddle board into a cave, saw a TON of dolphins, & had many many drinks. Be sure to pack a bunch of snacks and water because you will get hungry and thirsty on the boat. All together the trip was about 8 hours & the pick-up location was very central and easy to find! Definitely do this, you’ll have the time of your life.

The best day ever! - The best tour we ever joined! Gil makes the whole day just so amazing, relaxing but fun and adventurous at the same time. Firstly we got picked up in a really nice clean van and then we met Gil on the deck. And the adventure begun! We sailed down close to an amazing beach with lots of caves around. We got to kayak to an amazing cave and snorkel around, eat on the deck, the whole day is like a dream. I went home so relaxed and happy, I can't even desribe. I definitely recommend booking with this company!

Absolutely fantastic tour we can’t wait to go back - The tour was fantastic from start to finish. The yacht has a fridge so you can bring some supplies for the trip (like beers ;). The guys manning the boat (Gil and Rui) were great, really fun and knew their stuff as well as making sure we got the most out of our trip. We went to a really pretty beach with some caves and did some kayaking there, the water was so much warmer than other beaches we had been to. We went and had a lovely lunch on a small island and then to top it all off we got to see loads of dolphins! It was just such a fun and relaxing day we would definitely do it again. Thanks guys!!!!!

Ms - Excellent experience, we met a great group of people in the boat. Rui and his partner were the best hosts. This tour, topped my experience in Portugal. A huge thumbs up and highly recommended. Rachel, Sydney, Australia

A utterly beautiful, joyful journey - From the very beginning of the day until the end everything was great. I booked this tour with a group of friends as a birthday celebration. We were looking for something slightly different, "out of the box" and expectations were high as we were spending a little bit more than just a regular lunch with friends. To start: we were picked up on the place we chose (some 20 kms away from Lisbon and 50km away from the destination, on time. We were not expecting the boat to be as big, spacious and comfortable. I mean, we saw the photos before booking but.. the real thing was even better. There we met Gil, that, as he told us later,always goes ahead to check and prepare everything for the day. He was our first skipper for the day - Rui is also a skipper and is always helping Gil with everything that is required. Before starting to sail they give us a quick briefing first about safety ant then about the journey. Regarding this he told us that the journey is always as flexible as possible as they not only try to adapt to the costumers preferences and mainly the weather conditions, the tides... The boat rides in a very smooth way, and its fairly quiet (and very fast if necessary...). We sailed for a couple of hours and Rui and Gil told us that whenever we wanted they could stop - for a swim, to relax a bit, to take some photos... Arrábida Natural Park is unique in the potuguese landscape, a truly Mediterranean gem in the Atlantic. Seen from the sea is something even more special - you get turquoise, blue, green transparent waters. We chose to make a stop at Portinho da Arrábida for lunch, for a great grilled fish. The boat stays in the bay and we are picked up by a small boat. The afternoon was of sailing until the sand island in front of Troia Peninsula. We dare to jump and swim until there - just a small stretch. When we started the way back to Sesimbra we had a great surprise. I mean, deep down we had some expectation this could happen but we were not sure... dolphins!! bottlenose dolphins passing so close to the boat, just some 20-30 meters Before Sesimbra: an extra mile until Ribeira do Cavalo Beach, that is absolutely gorgeous!! The sand, the cliffs, the bushes... whow! We had a hard time saying goodbye to the sea, the boat and even to Rui and Gil, perfect hosts - gentle, professional, kind and funny! Thank you Rui, Gil and Around Lisbon!
