Well, congratulations to Dream Wave group. They managed to earn my rare 1-star review. Is a cave…read moretour experience worth going to when in Algarve? Yes but don't go with a company who employs captains who disregards the safety of their passengers. Am I a qualified person to make such a claim? Absolutely. I captain multiple boats and currently drive 120 miles off shore every weekend logging 8x the boating hours than a regular captain per season. My party got absolutely pounded to hell and we all had a terrible time and actually came off the boat angry on how we manage to hit so many waves at the wrong angle. Boat ride was 90% of the trip non-stop back breaking and pounding - with only approx 5 minutes for photo opportunities. We only stopped a few minutes to see around 3 caves in between rough rides that left us unable to enjoy the scenery. Funny thing is, it was not even that rough compare to what nature can give you but it was rough because of the captain. Perhaps he wanted to provide a fun ride to all but he shouldn't do it at the expense of others. Safety is number 1 and thats what look for when i travel. Will you get killed? Of course not. They ask if you have a back prob before you boat, well this is a nice way to create a back problem. Hope they adjust after this review.

Our tour guide, Jorge, was the absolute best -- knowledgeable about the coastline and the various caves, knowledgeable about the town (ask him his favorite restaurant!), and very chill.

Would go again and again!

GREAT OUTFIT TO GO ON A KAYAK TRIP TO THE PONTA DA PIEDADE CAVES…read more============================================================= Weeks before my family's trip to Lagos, Portugal I did a lot of research on things to do. One of the things I really wanted to do was to go on one of the boats that would take us kayaking to some of the caves and grottos nearby. We ended up just booking the day before when we arrived in Lagos. It was so easy. There was a kiosk for Days of Adventure just west of our hotel on Avenida Dos Descobrimentos. You can also cross the footbridge to the marina and they have a desk and covered patio area on the southwest side of the marina. It was so easy. They also sell clear covers for your phone which I recommend so your phone doesn't get wet. We walked over the footbridge to the meeting point on Saturday, July 6, 2024 for our 11:00 a.m. check-in. The crew members took us to the boat and we were on our way. Definitely wear swimwear because you will get wet in the kayaks. The main reason is a lot of little boats will go zipping by causing waves. The boat ride was really short at about 15 minutes which was nice. I get seasick, so I took two Dramamine and I was just fine. Two people actually tipped over on the two person kayaks right after they launched it. We all had life vests and the crew was great. They helped the two guys get resituated on their kayak and we were on our way. We had so much fun kayaking around the grottos and caves at Ponte da Piedade. The only thing I didn't like were all the little boats zipping in and out of caves with no respect for getting too close to the kayaks. One guy in his little boat did that multiple times and it was really starting to piss me off, but I kept my mouth shut. I could just see the guy doing something more dangerous. I will send an e-mail to Days of Adventure to complain about that. I don't know if they can control other operators, but who knows.

The day sailing trip lasted from 10am-5pm and included a 3 course meal which was delicious plus wine and water. We saw the beautiful coastline of Algarve and had the chance to see dolphins. We made a stop in front of Lagos and swam around. It was a great day which is why we decided on the motor boat trip the following day. The motor boat is the way to see all the caves and private small beaches along the way. We entered the caves and got so many pictures. We made a stop in the city of Alvor to have lunch at Ze Morgadinho which was so good!! I recommend the clams and a fresh fish. The service of Portiate was one of the best we have had and I would highly recommend them! I can't wait to go back one day with more friends and would like to charter a boat for a week. Everyone in their shop and the crew were friendly and helpful. Hope to be back soon!

The tour guides Axel and Daniel were AWESOME. These men are guardians of the ocean and knew intuitively where the dolphins would surface. They have respect for the sea creatures, the ocean and for their guests. They maneuvered their sea craft safely by the cliffs and in the caves. I felt exhilaration and the guides were just as excited when the dolphins emerged. These men are the BEST that the Algarve experience has to offer. I was Blessed!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Seacret-tours.com in the Algarve if you want to feel the joy of the Southern Coast along Algarve, Portugal! Bravo and Obrigada to Axel and Daniel!
