Super - It was the highlight of our trip. The trip by boat alone was a great one. Experience. The staff took us on a trip under the banner of Captain Hook. The caves are fantastic. The crew on board is the ultimate holiday banger, Jack Spirow sends his regards.

Unique! - A unique experience for everyone! The boat is amazing, the staff (the pirates) wonderful and the visit to the caves not to be missed! They entertained the children all the time (I had one aged 10 and one aged 5), they gave information in Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and English. From the big boat (beautiful) we moved to the smaller boats to be able to enter the caves and all with great safety and professionalism. In the end my daughter, who didn't even want to go, didn't want to go down. I would do the trip again any day!

Pleasant but not in Italian - The only unpleasant thing was the language that in the booking was Italian, while instead we were told that there was not!

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.

Great experience but without the caves stays halfway - The boat is great and is a wonderful option to visit the coast. It doesn't make anything dizzy, and that was pretty choppy. The crew super attentive, offered jackets for the cold. The Jack Sparrow is just great!! Makes the trip enjoyable and entertaining. The catch was that we couldn't see the caves, because of the weather conditions. If you can't, little can be done. But I think the supplier should have options in the face of these setbacks. They said it before sailing, there were families who left. But others stayed as I wanted our last day there. They should give you the option of returning some of the money from the tour or offer some alternative. They answered the first one, super nice, yeah.
