Absolutely. Funny, exciting (and safe) speed boat that took you inside the Bengali Cave. Then visited a number of additional caves that could not be reached by catamaran or kayaks. Then speedboat back. Perfect amount of time. I have already recommended to others!!!

We did the boat tour to Benagil and Carveiro caves from Lagos with Lagos Grotto Trips and it was amazing! It can be a bit overwhelming combing through all the companies who offer similar tours but Connie set us up for success at their booth. And our guides Ivo and Ivana were fabulous navigators through the caves, giving us lots of back story to different locations and suggestions on places to see and activities to do during your visit to the algarve. The rock formations we saw were stunning, and the boat ride was a blast! This tour company has lovely employees and we would highly recommend!!

We had a great time with Angelo and Antonio. They shared a lot of information and at the end all the smaller caves they showed us were even better than Benagil itself. We were very lucky to see Orcas this morning. A great experience. Angelo's boat driving skills were outstanding
