This was worth every penny! Shoutout to our amazing crew, Jose, Miguel, Gonzalo, Moises, Joao, and the captain! They take you to see amazing views while on a relaxing catamaran with a bar on board. Then they take you on a smaller boat in the caves where you can’t get to on your own! Then you get to enjoy an amazing BBQ with more than enough food and drinks and they even had options for vegetarians. The crew is so fun! Book this if you’re looking for a good time!

It was an amazing day! We had so much fun. The boat is big and goes really close to the rocks, so you can see very well all the rock formation. The activity to go see the caves was fun. They make you see many caves, not just one like I thought. The bbq was great and the beach was amazing. We didn't want to leave this place! It's your turn to have fun! (:

Great Catamaran (very stable and no dizziness). The precious route. When we reached the area of the caves they took out a couple of auxiliary boats and brought us inside them. The most beautiful is Benagil. We enjoyed the coast on a fantastic day. Very professional and friendly staff. Essential excursion. The price difference compared to other excursions to the Benagil area on other boats and without food is very adequate given the quality and duration of the excursion.
