What People Say
Guest reviews
“We had an absolutely fantastic boat tour to the Benagil Cave! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Mick, our guide, was incredibly thorough, friendly, and genuinely kind.”
“We booked this tour through Get Your Guide and we had so much fun! It was the highlight of our trip and we would really recommend it! Although it was very windy and a bit chilly, the tour was fun and the guides were funny and welcoming.”
“We did the 1:30 tour with Tim and Carlos. We had a little unexpected and had a little delay. They called us, waited and were understanding and very kind. The boat is small, which allows you to enjoy the experience without being on top of each other. Tim (the Guide) and Carlos (the Captain) made our excursion interesting with little anecdotes and jokes slipped here and there. Moreover they speak impeccable French. And the icing on the cake, dolphins accompanied us on the return. A thousand thanks Tim and Carlos. We highly recommend.”
