Father/daughter operated authentic boat tour - must book - We had a fabulous time with Bruno and his daughter, Luana. If we had chosen any other tour boat like a sailboat or a yacht, we never would have gotten into the caves and experienced that very unique opportunity. This is a father-daughter operation and the tour operator is very knowledgeable about the coast and the water. He told us some history and gave us the background of the area. It's obvious he's very passionate about his country, culture, history, and cares the safety and the quality of experience for his guests. I would highly recommend it. You will feel like you had an authentic experience on the water and the attention is one-on-one. My friends and I felt like we were on a top-dollar private tour of the coast. The experience of snorkeling in the fresh, cool water was invigorating as well. He has his own snorkel equipment for you to use but it's just as magical if you choose to just float or swim.

Perfect afternoon boat tour - First time in Sesimbra and this boat tour was a fascinating way to spend 3 hours getting a view of the town & its stunning local beaches and coastline from the water. Bruno and his daughter made us feel so welcome, safe and taken care of for 3 magical hours. Bruno is an expert at manoeuvring the boat in and out of the caves & they are both very knowledgeable about the area and its history. We really enjoyed our stop at beautiful Whale Beach. The boat was very clean and we felt in safe, professional hands. Our teenage daughters loved every minute of the tour and it made a great memory for our family.. Thank you Salty Gecko. Highly recommend.

Beautiful trip with an exceptional pilot! - Excellence tour, with a pilot who made us feel very safe exploring all the caves. With a lot of sympathy, we got to know the history of the place, with a dive into one of the most beautiful places we have ever been, and to finish with a toast to life with a local Moscatel. Thank you for creating us an unforgettable memory.
