Summary:
Left from Benagil beach with Taruga Benagil Tours. Got feet wet going on and off boat. Eight passengers and two crew. The boat is small enough to fit in the caves which is great. 30 minute boat tour was just right. Would recommend going at low tide as some caves are not accessible at high tide. Staff were nice and there was a good atmosphere. Good for all ages. €70 for a family of four. We saw lots of caves and went up to high speeds which was good fun.

Summary:
Wow! Just wow! Unbelievable tour! We travelled with Pedro and loel! From the second the boat pulled up for us to board they were welcoming, kind and helpful. Pedro was fantastically informative and loel was a great captain! We had a member of our party who was extremely nervous and they were great and calming. Pedro knew everything we wanted to know and loel took us to places we never thought we would be able to see. I 100% recommend these guys will definitely be visiting again! Thank you!

Summary:
Had a fantastic express boat tour today with William and Leo.
They were really great, funny and made the trip for my 8yr old son. Very informative about the local area and caves. I was amazed that we got to go so far into some of the caves in the boat. Helped by the high tide. Long enough to keep my child more than interested throughout.Brilliant, will do this again. Thanks guys.
