Great experience in the caves! - 2:30 hr Excursion with Super Cool Leader Crew. Big safe boat. We will then visit the caves in 1 or more canoes depending on the number of participants. Personally we were 12 and the morning went very well. Day that will remain in our memories. Obrigado! Serge and Diane Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Fantastic tour! - It's a fantastic tour that takes to several caves! The views were breathtaking! The pirate boat was clean and stuff was well organized. I was afraid to get motion sick, but everything was fine. I didn't know how to dress for this tour properly, so I will share now. Once we arrived to the caves, we were transferred to smaller motor boats which go right inside the caves. We didn't get wet and our phones were dry too. Since we don't stop by the beach, no bathing suit is needed. I'd recommend wearing quick dry shorts and t-shirt. On the way back, it was cloudy and windy, so it was chilly. I brought long sleeve quick dry top with a zipper and it was enough for end of the August weather. We wore crock shoes. The total time was 2 hour and 15 minutes. Keep your cameras ready when inside caves, our pirate boat will be right there to take pictures.

Fantastic fun experience! - The pirate ship added an extra dimension and a lot of atmosphere to this trip. The tour guide told his story with a lot of humor and we had a lot of laughs at him. The fact that we could actually enter the caves with small boats was amazing, we were speechless by the beauty and intrigued by the stories that went with it. It was fantastic and definitely recommended to take a pirate ship to the most beautiful caves in Portugal.

Great fun!! - A pirate ship with a well dressed pirate captain, complete with horn, sword and a loyal crew who helped us swap from the ship to the rowing boat (with a motor to move thing along a little) so we could explore the caves. No smuggling on our trip, just great excitement as we, and quite a few other craft, jostled to get into the caves and the very famous, Benagil cave. A fabulous way to spend a few hours seeing the coast and caves. Definitely recommend it. The boat was not packed to full capacity when we went (May 23rd) which was nice.

Great experience - We were very well served by Paula in the bar that sells the tours on the edge of Portimão. We felt more secure being a larger company and, in fact, it was a very safe and comfortable ride. We went to the caves of benagil and region with a large boat (pirate style, with fake Johnny Deep and all). It was better to go there in a larger boat for stability, but when they arrived at the place they passed in smaller groups to small boats, so we could access the caves. In general, we found everything very well organized, punctual, really was done everything that was offered and sold, fairly. The price is practically tabulated so does not make much difference. I recommend the company because the experience was good.
