We went on a boat tour with our 6 yrs old son and we all enjoyed it- i highly recommend it for family with children. You get to go inside some caves and see some beautiful beaches, caves and rocks.

It was incredible , the tour guide David was very funny, he made jokes and gave us challenges throughout the tour which was very interesting

Thrilling, excellent experience!!! A beautiful day to cruise from 3-5 pm. Boat ride back a little rough for member of our group with back issues. Otherwise, really wonderful 👍

We went on the 2 hour Benagil Cave Tour from Portimão on a 12 man boat. Our Captain was Fernando and the guide was David. It was a very good tour. Fernando is an excellent captain. He took us as deep inside many of the caves as possible and knows how to handle a boat. David is a very entertaining guide and you will enjoy his schtick. They make a good team. Definitely go for the smaller boat as it can get into places the bigger ones can't. Grab the front two seats if you can.

The tour and crew were excellent. Best to go with these smaller boats too, so you can get into all of the caves.

The boat was a good size, not too many people. Staff were great, gave us lots of information along the way. The only issue I had was probably the seating, we had to straddle the seat and after a while it became hard on the bum but other than that it was a fantastic tour and would highly recommend!

We really had a good time on this tour. The duration is perfect (approximately 2 hours). David (guide) and Ricardo (captain) were both very knowledgeable and made sure everyone on board enjoyed the tour. Prior to booking, I confirmed that there was no issue with me being pregnant (2nd trimester) for this boat ride. The day of the tour, staff gave me advice to sit at the back of the boat and the captain made sure the whole ride was as smooth as possible. Really enjoyed this experience!

Book the first trip in the morning (today was at 9:00 a.m.) in order to avoid too much boats and people. David was a very nice guide ad Fernando, the driver, very good and took good care of us. They took the time to let us sees the dauphins, it was really a very nice experience!
