The boat trip was really exciting, as we sped across the big waves. The island was beautiful and very interesting to learn about from the guides. All of the staff were fun, efficient and knowledgable. I felt safe the entire time we spent on the boat and would highly recommend Feeling Berlenga to others. We travelled in early April, so the full facilities of the island weren’t open yet. That didn’t deter us, as the company pre-empted this by telling us to bring food with us. In fact, we were extremely lucky to travel when we did, as the trip had to be rescheduled once due to unpredictable April weather. The pay-off was that carpet of wild spring flowers covered the island, which made the air smell sweet. Our guide told us that these will be mostly scorched away by the height of the tourist season in July.

The trip to the Berlengas Islands is worth it...it is a very beautiful place with spectacular nature. In our case the tour to the caves was suspended at the last minute and in my opinion the tour of the guide was incomplete and very fast. Rest on our own we decided to explore and get to know the island. I hope to go again to do the tour of the caves.

The boat ride was fast and comfortable. The caves tour showed us beautiful spots around the island, and the guided tour was very informative. Our hike guide (João, a seasoned guide in his 50s) was excellent: knowledgeable, courteous, and funny. The only minus was the somewhat disorganized boarding, especially on the return trip, and some unclear information about the sequence of events once on the island. Unfortunately the weather was not favorable and we did not swim in the beaches. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon in this beautiful island and we heartily recommend it.
