Experiencia 10. Tuvimos qué modificar la reserva porque el mar estaba mal y la cambiamos para otro día sin problemas. Súper bien organizado y sobre todo el tour privado una experiencia increíble en familia solos con el patrón y el guía. Mención especial tanto para el patrón Sebastian y el guía Diogo que hicieron el vine súper divertido e interesante. Supone más dinero pero el ir solos es un plus y más si te tratan tan bien. Maravilloso el viaje en barco por la costa del Algarve. Translate this opinion into English.

Experience 10. We had to modify our reservation because the sea was rough, and we rescheduled for another day without any problems. The tour was super well-organized, and especially the private tour was an incredible family experience, just with the skipper and guide. Special mention to both the skipper, Sebastian, and the guide, Diogo, who made the trip super fun and interesting. It costs more, but going alone is a plus, especially when you're treated so well. The boat trip along the Algarve coast was wonderful. Opinion translated. Show original.

Quand nous sommes arrivés après avoir réservé via civitatis, on nous a informé d’un problème car le système de réservation du prestataire était différent de celui de citivatis et il n’y avait plus de place. Ils nous ont proposé plusieurs alternatives et ça valait vraiment la peine. Bon moment, la visite est plaisant pour découvrir la côte sous un autre angle. Je recommande! Translate this opinion into English.

When we arrived after booking through Civitatis, we were informed of a problem because the provider's booking system was different from Citivatis's and there were no more places. They offered us several alternatives and it was definitely worth it. Good time, the tour is a pleasant way to discover the coast from a different perspective. I recommend it! Opinion translated.

La actividad muy bonita, cara porque éramos solo 3, pero eso ya lo sabía. Me supo muy mal que pone que es de 90 minutos y al final salimos a las 12:12 y estábamos de vuelta a las 13:20, de manera que estuvimos únicamente una hora y diez, lo que no me parece nada bien. Guía y capitán bien.

The activity was very nice, but expensive because there were only three of us, but I already knew that. I was really upset that it said it was 90 minutes, and in the end we left at 12:12 and were back at 1:20, so we were only there for an hour and ten minutes, which doesn't seem right to me. The guide and captain were excellent.

Tal como indicamos en la descripción, el itinerario puede verse afectado por el estado del mar y la meteorología, dependiendo de la tripulación de la embarcación. Aun así, se intenta siempre cumplir con el recorrido al completo intentando cumplir con todas las expectativas. Sentimos si no ha sido de vuestro agrado. Translate this opinion into English.

As indicated in the description, the itinerary may be affected by sea conditions and weather, depending on the boat's crew. Even so, we always try to complete the entire tour to meet all expectations. We apologize if it wasn't to your liking. Opinion translated. Show original.

De la mano de Tiago y Carlos recorrimos la costa de Portimao admirando playas y cuevas sorprendentes hasta llegar a Benagil. Llegamos a la famosa cueva las 11,30 y era un auténtico hervidero de gente pero la experiencia ha merecido la pena. Tiago nos contó muchas curiosidades y nos recomendó algunas playas para visitar después del paseo en barco. Translate this opinion into English.

With Tiago and Carlos we toured the coast of Portimao admiring amazing beaches and caves until we reached Benagil. We arrived at the famous cave at 11:30 and it was a real hive of people but the experience was worth it. Tiago told us many interesting facts and recommended some beaches to visit after the boat ride. Opinion translated. Show original.

so this was a nice tour, but not a great one. had the captain and the tour guide with us, so it was nice and relaxed. the area is undoubtedly beautiful. however, the captain barely entered most caves, never even making an effort to get us close or to give us good vantage points. apparently this is the operator’s policy on how they conduct their tours. it is a shame because the conditions would have allowed much more. also, they do not let you get out in benagil and they barely enter the cave.

Recorrer toda la costa desde Portimão a Benagil fue una experiencia inolvidable, con sus increíbles paisajes de roca esculpida por el viento y el mar, cuevas, túneles, arcos...

La actividad estaba planificada a las 11h, pero el día anterior nos pidieron cambiar el horario. Finalmente, lo hicimos a las 9h, lo cual parece que fué mejor visto la acumulación de barcos y. kayaks que ya había a esa hora y que luego se incrementa significativamente. Las explicaciones de Joao Felix muy amenas y la habilidad del piloto (del que no recuerdo el nombre ) la perfecta. Vale la pena el tour privado, especialmente si vas con un grupo de seis o mas. Nosotros eramos cuatro y lo dimos po Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was scheduled at 11 a.m., but the day before they asked us to change the schedule. Finally, we did it at 9 o'clock, which seems to have been better seen by the accumulation of boats and. kayaks that were already there at that time and that then increases significantly. Joao Felix's explanations are very entertaining and the skill of the pilot (whose name I don't remember) is perfect. The private tour is worth it, especially if you go with a group of six or more.

We had so much fun on this private tour visiting the stunning Algarve coastline. We had the opportunity to visit many caves including the famous Benagil cave and our favorite part was the opportunity to swim in a private cove. Our guide, Tudor made sure we were laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole ride. We Would absolutely recommend this tour as a way to see the Algarve from the water!!

Hemos disfrutado mucho. Merece la pena. Cogimos el tour privado siendo 8 y lo pasamos genial. Lastima que no vimos los delfines. Una mención especial para Denis y Gonzalo. Denís te ameniza el viaje con sus explicaciones y Gonzalo es un capitán de 10. La destreza con la que maneja el barco es increíble. Incluso nos han puesto música durante el viaje. Todo genial!

Realice esta actividad la pasada semana con mi familia. Como capitán tuvimos a Gonçalo y como guía a Rafa. Actividad 100% recomendada. Ambos hicieron el paseo muy ameno a la vez que divertido, permitiéndonos ver todas las cuevas y vistas de manera entretenida. Muy contentos con el trato y la experiencia :) Translate this opinion into English.

Tour lungo la costa dell’Algarve super consigliato. Con questo tour privato si ha la possibilità di ammirare le grotte e di avvicinarsi tanto da fare delle bellissime foto. Abbiamo avuto anche il tempo di fare un tuffo nell’oceano per rinfrescarci! I ragazzi dell’equipaggio sono professionali e molto simpatici: Morgana ci ha dato molte informazioni sulle formazioni rocciose e sulle grotte! Bravi!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Super recommended tour along the Algarve coast. With this private tour you have the opportunity to admire the caves and get close enough to take beautiful photos. We even had time to take a dip in the ocean to cool off! The crew guys are professional and very nice: Morgana gave us a lot of information about the rock formations and caves! Well done !!!

Recomendable, Marin fue muy amable y gracioso. Nos gustó mucho la ruta aunque no vimos delfines. Acertamos cogiendo barco privado ya que los asientos son tipo banco y no vas pegado a otras personas tampoco. No bajas en la cueva benagil pero no es necesario, además estaba llenísima de gente y kayak. Translate this opinion into English.

Recommended, Marin was very kind and funny. We really liked the route although we did not see dolphins. We were right taking a private boat since the seats are bench type and you are not stuck to other people either. You do not go down in the Benagil cave but it is not necessary, it was also very full of people and kayaks. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos la excursión 10 personas y repetiriamos sin duda, el recorrido espectacular y Marin, Rafa y Gonzalo lo hicieron muy ameno todo el tiempo. Muy profesionales y simpáticos los 3, fueron 2 horas que disfrutamos todos los que íbamos. Diversión asegurada, Vimos paisajes nuevos, con detalles muy bien explicados y picaresca incluida. A mi sobrino le cayó al agua la gorra y no dudaron en dar vuelta a recogerla con una maniobra perfecta. Pudimos bañarnos al final del recorrido y todo.Genial Translate this opinion into English.

We made the excursion 10 people and we would repeat without a doubt, the spectacular tour and Marin, Rafa and Gonzalo made it very enjoyable all the time. Very professional and friendly the 3, it was 2 hours that all of us who went enjoyed. Guaranteed fun, we saw new landscapes, with details very well explained and picaresque included. My nephew's cap fell into the water and they did not hesitate to turn around to pick it up with a perfect maneuver. We were able to swim at the end of the tour and everything.
