La visita en sí está muy bien, no hay sensación de mareo ni te mojas. Si eres friolero lleva manga larga. Como anotación importante cabe destacar que lo mejor es ponerte a babor de la lancha, ya que sino solo ves mar. Si vas con niños pequeños te ponen atrás de todo, teniendo visibilidad reducida del paisaje. Aún así la experiencia vale mucho la pena Translate this opinion into English.

The visit itself is great; you don't feel seasick or get wet. If you get cold easily, wear long sleeves. An important note: it's best to sit on the port side of the boat, otherwise you'll only see the sea. If you're with small children, they'll put you at the very back, with limited visibility of the scenery. Even so, the experience is well worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo bien en relación al precio, tampoco puedes esperar mucho más por 17€. Paseo en lancha a través de la costa y ves unas 10 cuevas (sin baño, sin bajar y 1’ de parada literal). El guía no hablaba español, era portugués con algo de español. Muy simpático y gastando bromas. no esperes mucha explicación de lo que ves, te cuenta poco. El trayecto es ameno porque vas muy rápido (ojo si eres miedoso) y bromean al asustarte con que vas a chocar (innecesario) Benagil lo ves 1‘ con otras 5 lanchas. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything is fine in relation to the price, you can't expect much more for €17. A boat ride along the coast and you see about 10 caves (no swimming, no going down, and a literal 1-minute stop). The guide didn't speak Spanish, he was Portuguese with some Spanish. Very nice and joking around. Don't expect much explanation of what you see, he tells you little. The journey is enjoyable because you go very fast (be careful if you're easily scared) and they joke about scaring you by saying you're going to crash (unnecessary). You see Benagil for 1 minute with 5 other boats. Opinion translated. Show original.

Totalmente recomendable. Desde que lo coges, te envían email informativos, explicándote perfectamente el punto de encuentro, tiene fácil acceso, se puede aparcar bien. Las explicaciones, la atención del guia y del patrón de barco excepcionales. Super atentos con todos, hicieron la visita muy buena. Íbamos con niños y muy atentos también con ellos. Yo pensaba que al ser una embarcacion pequeña se podía tener sensación de mareo y ninguna sensación de mareo. 100%Recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Totally recommended. From the moment you book, they send you informative emails, perfectly explaining the meeting point, it has easy access, and parking is good. The explanations, the attention from the guide and the boat captain were exceptional. They were super attentive to everyone, making the visit very enjoyable. We went with children, and they were very attentive to them as well. I thought that being on a small boat might cause seasickness, but there was no feeling of seasickness at all. 100% recommended.

Fue una actividad que la tuvimos que posponer porque el día que la teníamos preparada no pudimos acceder a las cuevas y se nos dijo que al día siguiente que hacía mejor clima que si se podía ceder. Nuestra sorpresa vino que antes de subir a la barca se nos dijo que la íbamos a ver y luego resulta que no accedimos que tuvimos que verlo todo desde fuera con lo cual no dejo de ser un paseo en barca. Luego a mayores como metieron un niño a mayores en el grupo que no tenía que venir no había asiento

It was an activity we had to postpone because we couldn't access the caves on the day we had planned it, and we were told that the next day, with better weather, we could go. To our surprise, before getting on the boat, we were told we would be able to see the caves, but then it turned out we couldn't go inside and had to view everything from the outside, which meant it was just a boat ride. Then, to make matters worse, they added a child to the group who wasn't supposed to be there, and there were no seats available.

Sergio y Hugo son geniales. Un paseo muy divertido y con unos paisajes impresionantes. Íbamos con las expectativas bajas porque ese mismo día la empresa nos canceló una reserva que teníamos avisandonos con una hora de antelación. De todas formas reservamos para el siguiente horario porque no queríamos irnos sin verlo y fue una pasada. La empresa bastante desorganizada pero los guías maravillosos. Translate this opinion into English.

Sergio and Hugo are great. A really fun tour with stunning scenery. We had low expectations because the company had cancelled our reservation that same day, giving us only an hour's notice. Anyway, we booked for the next available time slot because we didn't want to leave without seeing it, and it was fantastic. The company was quite disorganized, but the guides were wonderful.

Fue muy bien a pesar de las condiciones meteorológicas Nos recomendaron ir a un restaurante de la misma compañía que organizaba esta actividad y la atención en el restaurante fue pésima y nos dijeron que aunque tuviéramos reserva teníamos que esperar 4 mesas por delante porque tenían preferencia ellos antes que nosotros que veníamos del barco….

It went very well despite the weather conditions. We were recommended to go to a restaurant of the same company that organized this activity and the service in the restaurant was terrible and they told us that even though we had a reservation we had to wait for 4 tables ahead of us because they had priority over us who came from the boat….

Hicimos la experiencia con Teodoro y el capitan Hugo. Ambas personas muy amables y Teodoro, un guia muy gracioso. La experiencia espectacular, ves todo a la perfección y en la cueva de benagil tienes suficiente tiempo para sacar fotos (bueno en todos lados). Muy recomendable, ahora si, preparad abrigo.

We did the tour with Teodoro and Captain Hugo. Both were very friendly, and Teodoro was a very funny guide. The experience was spectacular; you see everything perfectly, and in the Benagil cave, you have plenty of time to take photos (well, everywhere, actually). Highly recommended, but be sure to bring a jacket. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia fue fantástica. Iba con mucho miedo por si las niñas se mareaban pero nada, genial... Nada de mareo y super divertido el paseo. Para mi gusto mucho mejor lancha que barco. El chico que nos acompañó, Andre o Andrei no recuerdo bien, fue muy divertido y gracioso... Nos hizo muy ameno el paseo. El conductor, no recuerdo el nombre, llevó la lancha perfecta con giros divertidos. Nos lo pasamos muy bien. Gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was fantastic. I was really worried the girls might get seasick, but nothing, it was great... No seasickness at all and the trip was super fun. In my opinion, a speedboat is much better than a ship. The guy who accompanied us, Andre or Andrei, I don't remember exactly, was very funny and entertaining... He made the trip really enjoyable. The driver, whose name I can't remember, handled the speedboat perfectly with fun turns. We had a great time. Thank you!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Experiencia maravillosa, nos encantó. El guía Pedro y el capitán Hugo estuvieron perfectos. Pedro se esforzaba en todo momento en crear un ambiente super agradable para todo el mundo ( hacía bromas, te hace fotos incluso canta jeje), una persona super agradable y implicada en su trabajo. El trayecto se nos hizo super corto. Para repetir sin ninguna duda!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Desde que embarcamos todo excelente, el guía muy competente y empatico., y la experiencia estupenda. Lo que está mai organizado es la recepción, nos citan 30 minutos antes y la salida se demoró 15 minutos, con lo que esperamos 45 minutos bajo un sol de justicia porque mi salida era a las 12 horas. No vendría mal poner un toldo o una carpa para protegerse y algún banco para la gente más anciana. Un saludo.

Everything was excellent from the moment we boarded. The guide was very competent and empathetic, and the experience was wonderful. The only thing that was poorly organized was the check-in. We were told to arrive 30 minutes early, but departure was delayed by 15 minutes, so we waited 45 minutes in the blazing sun because my departure was at 12:00. It would be helpful to have an awning or tent for shade and some benches for the elderly. Best regards.

Las cuevas maravillosas, pero la lancha tenía demasiados pasajeros, la logística muy tardada, una sola persona atendiendo todo, revisión de reservaciones, entrega de chalecos salvavidas, grupos de embarque, para 70 pasajeros, tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo que nos quitaron de la visita. Me tocó en el centro de la lancha y no pude ver mucho. Se supone que era en español, pero era en portugués y en inglés.

The caves were amazing, but the boat was overcrowded, the logistics were incredibly slow, and there was only one person handling everything: checking reservations, distributing life jackets, organizing boarding groups for 70 passengers. We had to wait a long time, which cut into our visit. I was in the middle of the boat and couldn't see much. The tour was supposed to be in Spanish, but it was in Portuguese and English.

Tour molto bello sulla costa di Portimao che ci ha permesso di vedere un sacco di grotte ed insenature. La nostra guida Pedro è stata veramente simpatica e coinvolgente.

La actividad fue bien, la lancha en buenas condiciones, la organización del grupo bien, los guías bien. El paisaje impresionante, pero me decepcionó que no se pudiera entrar a la cueva Benagil, al parecer es un lugar protegido y ya no se puede entrar. Solo la vimos desde lejos.

The activity went well, the boat was in good condition, the group was well organized, and the guides were good. The scenery was stunning, but I was disappointed that we couldn't go inside Benagil Cave; apparently, it's a protected area and access is no longer permitted. We only saw it from a distance.
