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.

Last summer my parents and I did a private sailing trip and another day did a motor boat trip…read morethrough the caves. 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!

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

The staff was super nice and talkative. They seemed very genuine. Waves and winds were high that morning and we didn't end up going to any of the grottos despite that being the primary objective of the tour. The tour guide did try to keep us entertained and brought us to one of the beaches with snorkeling equipment, but I think most people were more interested in getting back at that point. We were promised a 2.5 hour tour and it was only 90 minutes at most. Can't really blame them for the weather conditions, but it would've been nice if they had offered an incentive for cutting the tour short and not being able to actually go into any of the grottos.
