Itinerary
Portimão Marina is located on the western side of Portimão and offers not only a safe haven for sailors, but also a lively and fun spot to spend sunny summer days or to watch the waves in the winter.
We will go to Benagil, a small fishing village on the southern coast of the Algarve which has gained fame in recent years thanks to its incredible sea cave, however there is much more than just a cave to explore in this picturesque Algarve destination. The most well-known of the rock formations is the Cave of Benagil (Gruta de Benagil), where the Algar de Benagil is also located. This gigantic cave is sometimes referred to as the Benagil Cathedral because of the various arches it forms, which, viewed from the outside of the cave, give it the appearance of a cathedral.

Recommended excursion. The boat is comfortable and safe, and the guide Teodoro is very nice. Hugo took us on the boat excellently.
Estimada Ruth, Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de la excursión y que encontró la lancha cómoda y segura. También nos hace muy felices saber que Teodoro y Hugo contribuyeron a que la experiencia fuera tan agradable. Les haremos llegar sus amables palabras. Ha sido un placer recibirla a bordo, y esperamos volver a darle la bienvenida muy pronto para otra aventura inolvidable por la costa del Algarve. Un cordial saludo, El equipo de Atlantis Tours
A nice tour, but spending too much time in the sun without shade with children is horrible, too many people for the boat, quite cramped, and little time to take photos. But seeing other prices, I give it a passing grade.
Estimada Sandra, Muchas gracias por compartir su opinión. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó del recorrido y agradecemos sinceramente sus comentarios. Nos gustaría aclarar algunos de los puntos que menciona. En relación con la zona de embarque, lamentablemente la legislación no nos permite instalar estructuras de sombra en esa área. Si fuera posible, sin duda lo haríamos para ofrecer una mayor comodidad a nuestros pasajeros durante la espera. Respecto al número de pasajeros, cumplimos estrictamente con la capacidad autorizada de cada embarcación, establecida por las autoridades marítimas. La seguridad es siempre nuestra prioridad y, al mismo tiempo, procuramos que todos los pasajeros viajen con la mayor comodidad posible. En cuanto al tiempo de permanencia en las cuevas, este está regulado por las autoridades marítimas y es el mismo para todas las embarcaciones que las visitan. Aun así, nuestros guías hacen todo lo posible para que todos los pasajeros puedan disfrutar del momento, sacar fotografías e incluso ayudan a tomarlas cuando es necesario. Lamentamos que algunos aspectos no hayan correspondido plenamente a sus expectativas y esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirla de nuevo para ofrecerle otra experiencia en la costa del Algarve. Un cordial saludo, A equipa Atlantis Tours
The tour company was very easy to find , located next to the tendering point from the cruise ship. No shade whilst waiting so ensure you have plenty of water and sun screen. For £22.00 for the 2 of us , this trip is real value for money , fun moving at speed in the boat along the coast , slowing down for visits into a number of caves. The coastline is stunning and the final call at Benagil is simply beautiful. A must do if you are in Portimão.

Fun time out on the open water with a fun guide. Very funny and knowledgeable about the sites and his country. Would do it again.
Dear Dan, Thank you very much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a fun time on the water and enjoyed both the scenery and the experience. It's wonderful to know that our guide's sense of humour and knowledge helped make the tour even more enjoyable.

It was a pleasure welcoming you on board, and we hope to see you again soon for another unforgettable adventure along the Algarve coast. Warm regards, The Atlantis Tours Team
Overall, I liked the service provided by Atlantis Tours, visit and guide was quite good. However, I give a negative note to the meeting point or pickup, with the heat that was there were no shadows for the customers to wait for boarding and the ground team showed little motivation in customer service, I noticed a certain fatigue and demotivation in the team. I suggest that in the future they can put some racks in order to provide shadow for those waiting for boarding.
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário e pelas suas sugestões. Ficamos felizes por saber que gostou do passeio e do acompanhamento da nossa equipa a bordo. Relativamente ao ponto de encontro, compreendemos perfeitamente a sua observação. Infelizmente, trata-se de uma área pública sobre a qual não temos autorização para instalar estruturas permanentes ou fazer alterações, como toldos ou zonas de sombra. Agradecemos o seu feedback e esperamos voltar a recebê-lo a bordo em breve. Com os melhores cumprimentos, A equipa da Atlantis Tours

It's wonderful to know that our crew helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks for the recommendation, it means a lot to us! We hope to see you on board again someday.

The staff of the company was honest, pleasant, and helpful. Due to adverse sea conditions and strong winds, the navigation was canceled. No one went out. They helped me request a refund, but I am still waiting for it.
Estimado Javier Samaniego, Gracias por compartir su opinión y por su comprensión respecto a la cancelación de su excursión debido a las condiciones meteorológicas adversas. Como la seguridad de nuestros clientes es siempre nuestra máxima prioridad, la actividad no pudo llevarse a cabo ese día. Agradecemos sinceramente sus palabras reconociendo la honestidad, la amabilidad y la disposición de nuestro equipo para ayudarle durante todo el proceso. Tras nuestra comunicación posterior a su reseña, entendimos que su insatisfacción estaba dirigida a la gestión del reembolso por parte de Viator y no a Atlantis Tours. Tan pronto como se confirmó la cancelación, tramitamos el reembolso íntegro por nuestra parte y permanecimos a su disposición para asistirle hasta que el proceso quedó completamente resuelto. Aunque lamentamos que la excursión no pudiera realizarse debido a unas condiciones meteorológicas ajenas a nuestro control, le agradecemos sus amables comentarios sobre nuestro equipo y la forma en que gestionamos la situación. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de darle la bienvenida a bordo en una futura ocasión y ofrecerle la experiencia que esperaba. Saludos cordiales, A equipa Atlantis Tours

Awesome crew, they were funny and dedicated. As we are French, they put us on a French boat. Guide name was Jose, very nice. If you ever have him, ask him for the restaurant reference, worth it. About 20min walk distance from the boat activity.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience and that our crew made it both fun and dedicated to your comfort. It’s great to know that José took good care of you and added to your experience with his recommendations. We hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, Atlantis Tours Team
