We had an amazing experience with Brotherootz! Pancho and Poco were fantastic guides—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. The views were absolutely incredible, and it was such a bonus that our guide captured photos for us so we could fully enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures. Everything was very well organized, with an easy transition from the parking area to the launch point. The Brotherootz team even carried everyone’s kayaks down to the beach, which made the entire process effortless. Overall, it was a seamless, fun, and memorable experience. I highly recommend Brotherootz to anyone looking for a great kayaking adventure!
Sunrise kayak was so worth it! The water was calm and you beat the crowds. Incredible experience like nothing I’ve done before. Guides were fun and knowledgeable.
We took the kayak ride with Rui. Very attentive guide. Good explanations about everything we visited.
We loved this tour. It was very easy to do (a little bit of a climb up the stairs from the beach at the end). Pedro was a fabulous guide: patient, good-humored, and very knowledgeable. He would make a good teacher (we are teachers). The views of the cliffs, of course Benagil, and--if the tide is right, as it was for us--a passage through a grotto in the dark where we had to lean back in the kayak to avoid hitting our heads were fabulous experiences. We did three different boat tours along the coast here: a small motor boat, a larger and faster RIB, and this kayak tour. The kayak was easily the best: quieter and much closer and more personal. Thank you, Pedro!
Great experience, do it early in the morning
A fantastic activity with a top guide who adapted as best as possible to speak French during the visit. I recommend it.
Excellent experience - it was a really good way to start the day. Pedro was a wonderful guide. He made it safe and fun for us all and also shared a lot of interesting information about the Algarve and caves we visited.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding sunrise kayak tour – the highlight of our Algarve holiday! We booked the sunrise Benagil Cave kayak tour with BrotheRootz and it exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, Francisco, who handled our booking, was incredibly helpful. He answered all our questions promptly, made the booking process so easy, and provided excellent communication throughout. His friendly and professional approach gave us complete confidence that we had chosen the right company. On the day of the tour, a special mention goes to Miguel, our instructor. He was exceptional – professional, knowledgeable, patient and attentive throughout. His passion for the Algarve and commitment to making sure everyone had the best possible experience really stood out. He made us feel completely at ease on the water and truly added to what was already an unforgettable morning. Setting off before sunrise meant we had the stunning Benagil Cave and surrounding coastline almost to ourselves. Paddling through the crystal-clear waters and exploring the caves without the crowds was simply magical. What really made this tour stand out were all the little extras. We were provided with free transport to the launch point, waterproof dry bags for our belongings, and the team took hundreds of fantastic photos and videos throughout the tour. Best of all, they were sent to us almost immediately afterwards at no extra cost, allowing us to simply enjoy every moment. If you're visiting Carvoeiro or anywhere in the Algarve, don't hesitate to book with BrotheRootz. They are professional, friendly and offer exceptional value for money. Thank you, Francisco, Miguel and the entire BrotheRootz team for an unforgettable experience. We couldn't recommend you more highly and will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic sunrise kayak trip. Pedro is an excellent guide
Fantastic experience from start to finish. I was a solo traveller and was made to feel welcome. Would recommend the early start, it’s worth it to beat the crowds. We were led by Miguel, he was fantastic, gave us facts about the current landscape and all around great guy. Defo would recommend!
