What people are saying about Peniche

A fun day. The boat tour in the caves was very cool. The guides were fun and informative. The fort is neat to visit but the hike there was a little sketchy. I was glad I didn’t have to hike the same trail back, instead the boat will pick you up at the fort and take you directly on the cave tour.

The boat trip was fun and informative. Super helpful and friendly staff. We did the combination hike and extra boat ride. Knowledgeable/friendly guides made the day fun and interesting. Island is beautiful and we would definitely go again.

Amazing surf instructor, staff, store, and so much more! If you’re in Peniche, this experience is a must Highlight of my trip

Great location, adequate equipment and Francisco is an expert surf teacher who will take his time to make you ready.

This trip was very nice, this island is breathtaking! Beautiful views from everywhere you stand.
