Best boat trip ever - a must see! - We have been on this excursion with Algarve Discovery 3 times since last February. All 3 trips were phenomenal and the tour guides as well. Today we had the best time yet as both weather and water conditions were fantastic! Our crew, Andre and Martine, were awesome and my husband and I are convinced we never went in some of those caves before! It was likely due to the rougher seas on the other two trips! We highly recommend this trip AND their tour operators!

Offroad tour. - A wonderful day out taking you to interesting besty spots you could not find or miss the significance if on your own. Nuno was an excellent guide with a great personality.

Best experience - One of the best experiences we had on our trip. The boat was comfortable (only 11 people) and the captain was great, ensuring everyone got good views and taking us deep into several caves and through narrow openings. The guide, Tiago, was excellent. He was full of information and made the tour fun without being corny. He talked with everyone in the boat (3 different languages in our group) and made sure we all had a good time. Plus a full 2 hours on the water- so much fun! I highly recommend this outing.

We worth the cost - The tour guide and boat driver were fantastic. It was a windy day with rough sea conditions and it made all the difference to be doing the tour in a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), much safer.

I loved it! - The guide Tomás was excellent, the tour was beautiful, I just didn't like the shuttle benches because I found them unpleasant. The captain was great too!

See the caves - Beautiful sites. Good way to experience the caves and coastline. It was crowded on the boat and if you are not on the edge you cannot get pictures that do not have people in them.

Well it seems we booked... - Well it seems we booked with Seadventure but they ended up meeting us (departure 11am), driving us to another marina, we waited there until almost noon then went with another boat operator - Royal Nautic . The actual tour, skipper and captain were fantastic but just chaotic for the first hour.

It's a shame, because I drove at high tide. - Do not drive at high tide, as no cave could be visited inside. Captain was going too fast, in my opinion. Were completely wet after the tour, as if we had bathed with things.
