Caves and Coastline Cruise from Albufeira to Benagil

It would have been nice to stop at Benagil beach to be able to get proper photos, as this is the main part of the tour. We stopped for a swim in the middle of the sea so we couldn’t let our son out so not ideal for kids.

Very boat, friendly staff, easy to book, and wonderful day on the sea with magnificent coastline view.

The whole experience was amazing! João, Emma and Dario are a fantastic crew! We didn’t buy the top deck access but we loved it down there anyway. On the way, Dario the captain steered the ship to chase some dolphins very close, the highlight of the trip!

Would have been a great trip, however it's pot luck where you sit, and not the same for everyone. We sat on a side of the boat which ended up being on the far side looking out to see rather that the coastline on the way out. We thought it would be fine as we could see everything on return leg. Unfortunately the boat took a short cut across the route on the return which meant we were way out to see, so didn't get to see everything like most of the others did. The guides also spent the whole time on the coastal side of the boat on the way out telling everyone about what they could see. We could not hear or see, so basically learned nothing which I'm gutted about. NO-ONE bothered to check on our side and ensure everyone heard the info as no loudspeakers or microphone was used which I feel ruined it as I like to know what I'm looking, or not looking at. The caves themselves were good, and as we entered we could walk to the front of the boat for a quick look. A real shame the guides did not ensure people with young families were OK. No interaction with us at all. Luckily our 3 year old enjoyed the trip and so did we as a boat ride. As a guided tour if fell really flat. There may as well had just been the boat pilot and no other staff. You could go onto the VIP top deck which was offered at check in where someone was up there with you giving you info IF you pay an additional €6 per person! We didn't go up there as we felt there would be no shade at all for our little one. This is why we opted for a side seat, not that we had much choice, so had shade on one of the legs which ended up being the return leg. So in summary, I you don't sit near the guide who just shouts info, you won't get any info. For saying there was a crew of 5 plus, they didn't spread out as you'd expect and look after a different zone of the boat. If we weren't making sure our little boy was having a good time I would have been complaining like hell on our return. He enjoyed it and we enjoyed him enjoying it rather that a guided tour. If it was just us adults on this trip it would be 1 or 2 stars as an experience. Potential for a 5 star trip with a more attentive crew and a few tweaks to how it was delivered. A people failure rather than a boat one. Was a nice boat.

Trip as described and Crew were friendly. I would recommend this trip, great for couples and families

Great crew had a fabulous trip. Definately reccomend! Hope to book the party boat very soon... easy to book online & well organised..😁

My most memorable moments on the boat were getting off to swim by the caves and also being served champagne on the journey back.

It was a very beautiful ride, the sea was swell and the boat jumped through the waves that splashed us, it was a lot of fun!!! We were able to get out of the boat for a swim but the water was very cold. It was a pity we didn't have the opportunity to see the dolphins. Some people don't respect covid standards, but that has nothing to do with the boat crew.

Beautiful coastline made relaxing and enjoyable by a fab crew, special mention to Emma and captain of Belize II (sorry didnt get your name!)... they were welcoming, informative and fun! Recommend AlgarExperience

Viatour debited twice the money of my trip using a permission on PayPal so the experience will be Ok, when I receive my reimbursement!
