Fantastic tour, lots of fun.

We booked our tour the night before and were not disappointed! The tour itself of the caves is fantastic, unbelievable sights. The caves and the beaches that the guides took their time to explain are quite a site. The driver was very skilled at getting in and out of the caves and making sure we all had a great time speeding through the choppy water. It was amazing, thank you to Daniel and ‘Antonio Banderas’!

Highly recommended

Highly recommended, the best among all the options to visit the caves; being a small boat, it is less crowded, and most importantly, its size allows it to enter almost all the caves. Our guides Pablo and Miguel were great; they made an effort to speak in all the hikers' languages and to make the excursion enjoyable and pleasant.

Carvoeira Caves delightful!

Miguel and Alex did a great job on the tour today. They provided the tour in Portuguese and English. We went into five caves and they did good job of answering questions, taking pictures and explaining the importance of each cave. Benigil cave was very busy and our boat captain navigated the busy waters with these ease.

Incredible and unforgettable experience!

If you come to Carvoeiro, do not miss this boat ride. The view of the cliffs and caves by the sea is simply spectacular and completely different from what you have on land. The boat is small, which makes the tour more comfortable and provides an experience closer to the coast. The guide and the captain, João and Miguel, were exceptional: very friendly, attentive and fun, sharing interesting information throughout the journey. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip to the Algarve. I recommend everyone!

Always a fantastic excursion!

This is our 7th time using Carvoeiro Caves with our visitors to explore the caves and each experience has been wonderful. The captain is always very professional and safe. The guide makes sure we all get interesting information and have a good time and the boat size is just perfect to allow us to get into and through caves other boats can’t! Highly recommended!

Fabulous Trip.

What a fabulous trip to the caves we enjoyed every minute of it. It was a perfect day to be out on the water, Alex and Miguel were perfect host and added a little humour along the way. They were very knowledgeable about the area which made the trip even more interesting. Be aware on a hot day, the sand can burn the soles of your feet as you are not allowed to wear shoes on the boat and you have make your way barefoot along the beach to board and later on return.
