Great sunset excursion - Great excursion. Bernardo was very informative and made the ride fun. Great scenery and brilliant photo opportunities. Would definitely recommend. Only tang to note is that the seats on this. Oat are not suitable for anyone with a back/hip problem, as you have to sit straddling a seat for 90 minutes.

Beautiful and fun sunset experience! - This was an excellent experience on a safe boat where the operator provided a good amount of information about the yellow car of coastline. There were plenty of picture opportunities of the sunset and of the coast and caves. Plenty of parking and easy to find.Highly recommend.

Kudos to the Captain! - We all had a wonderful time on the Benagil Cave Sunset Cruise from Portimão. We had hiked the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail earlier in the day, but it was even better to see the caves from the water. I get motion sick very easily, but the boat was so stable and the captain did such a good job navigating the waves that I never felt ill.

Great experience - The boat trip along the coast and visit of the caves is very worthwhile. Our guide Sergio and Captain Ted were friendly and knew very much the telling. The sunset was a nice ending. Very worthwhile

Amazing sunset, perfect trip and lovely staff - Wonderful experience - super friendly, entertaining and informative staff on board and we felt safe throughout. Doing this at sunset was extra special - the combination of beautiful caves, views, sea and not to mention the kinder temperatures after a very hot day was spectacular. I would urge everyone visiting the area to book onto this trip with this company. Diogo even recommended a restaurant which if we had had more time we definitely would have used on his advice.

Amazing views, some compromises - An efficiently run trip with multiple caves visited enroute to Benagil. Views are spectacular. You spend barely 3 minutes insure the Benagil cave, not 15 as advertised in the itinerary. Also, this is a relatively small boat packed with 28 seats. Your knees will dig into someone's thighs as everyone sits straddling narrow columns of cushioned seats. If you are lucky, you will be on an aisle seat, not middle, and be able to get good pictures. A typical middle seat photo will be impeded by the front of the boat as well as the heads on either side. Ride is smooth and the skipper did a great job. They also had translators for multiple languages on board, which made it very tourist friendly. Ample public parking at the dock.

Plan a Kway and a change to get ready to shower - Incredibly beautiful landscapes. I removed a star because we would have to warn the passengers that they will be watered because the boat is only a big Zodiac. You have to plan a change and a kway to protect yourself. Otherwise we leave delighted with this little cruise at sunset.
