The tour guide bring us to the beautiful places for nice pictures. You can experience awesome views by following the guide. Also if the weather condition is bad, there is chance that you cannot go into the cave. However, you do not have to worry, there are so many other beautiful sights except the cave. I strongly recommend this tour!

Thank you, Eduardo, for great experience in December. Thanks for patience and guidance during our rainy and wave way back to the shore from the cave. Me and my friend are delighted and extremely happy for this awesome day you gave us. Good luck in future. P.S. next time i ll come in September like you said!

Fantastic. Eduardo was an amazing guide. The boogyboarding to get to the cave can be a bit intense depending on the waves but so worth it. We ended up being the only group in the interior on a sunny November day. This was the highlight of my trip to Portugal.

The beach, caves and cliffs are a must see. The views on the cliff walks are incredible. The wetsuits for the swim to the caves were still wet (and cold) fron previous outings. Some of it felt a bit rushed.

We had a lovely time. The skipper and the rest of the staff were helpful and super friendly. Highly recommend it.
