His pride and knowledge for the history of the area made learning about it completely captivating. He is super smart, talks about everything under the sun in addition to teaching about Lagos and surrounding areas, and it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend all day. Plus, the lunch alone that we had on the bike tour was among the best things we did all trip just by itself. Quinta do Alem was also wonderful! We brought two bottles home to help us celebrate our one year anniversary (we went to Portugal for our honeymoon), and it will be tough to wait the year to enjoy it again. Highly recommend Volta do Mar if in Lagos.

We had a small group that went kayaking. It was really nice, especially seeing that there were other groups out there that were much larger and less intimate. the smaller group allowed us to hear better from the leader and to get to know each other better and it also felt safer. They also let us spend some time out on the water after we put up the kayaks and gave us the opportunity to swim as well as just relax and enjoy the beautiful sites of the area. We enjoyed being able to go into some of the cavernous areas better than the boats. I would definitely recommend this group

Just in front of the lovely old town of Albufeira you'll find this popular beach…read more And it's nice beach. It's long, it's wide...and it's very clean. Nice color as well and well taken care of. A bunch of businesses rent out chairs and umbrellas and there's some water sports as well. Showers to rinse off the sand and salt too. Wooden planks to walk on, which is important since the sand is painfully hot in summer. Even though very popular and well visited it didn't feel overcrowded due to its size...there's enough room for everybody. There's only one restaurant directly on the beach. The "O Farol". It's an ok place, but if you just want some drinks and light food you should take a seat at the attached kiosk, which is run by the same restaurant. Great to enjoy the views and watch the world go by. As nice as this beach is, be aware that the water here is pretty cold. You either have to get really hot first or it will be only a quick dip in the water.

It is okay. Very busy. Must park far and walk. Tons on shops before you finally get to beach. Cheap…read moresouvenirs. BUSY. Beach has tons of rentals. Different things to enjoy. Pretty much clean. Much more to explore.

Wow! Capitan Rui is a total professional... very clean and neat boat and equipment…read more He maneuvered the boat into grottos and caves that seemed smaller than the boat!
