Stunning Cave Views - The views were amazing on this tour. I lost count of the number of caves we explored between Portimao and Marinha. Loved that the guide allowed adequate time to view caves and take our special pics. Comfortable boat that was NOT overcrowded Great tour! Excellent value. Highly recommend!

Top trip - We had already hiked "the seven valley trail" the day before. This was a nice addition to this walk. The breathtaking rocks can now also be admired at the bottom. Funny local guide. Extra plus: the return trip to the port at high speed.
