Domi and Pina were our crew and we were in awe of how thy manoeuvred the boat in and out of the small caves. Would 100% recommend this companyWritten 5 November 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our private boat tour experience and would recommend this option for folks wanting a more personal, less crowded experience. We tend to prefer not being in large tours and getting to experience trips by asking questions and getting personalized attention. Our pickup was right on time from our hotel and return was also seamless. Even had a chance to enjoy a Sagres at a nearby cafe before going back to our hotel after the tour.
Domi and Pina were both excellent!!! Talk about great guys, Domi shared good information and Pina drove the boat into the caves safely. We were impressed with the maneuvering especially with other boats and kayaks. They made the experience one to remember and took some amazing photos for us to cherish. Additionally, with the changes it was wonderful to experience Benagil cave without a bunch of instagrammers ruining the experience and taking up the small beach. Personally, we thought the change was a good one to preserve nature and appreciate the beauty. We also loved that we could deboard at a location and experience being inside on the sand for a personal moment.
Early morning was definitely the best time to go as the water was calm and only the kayakers and some boats were out but we could only imagine how crowded it would be later in the day. As someone with sea motion sickness, I didn’t experience that at all, so something to consider if you choose later in the day as it may be more choppy of a ride. Also, given our morning time we did bring light sweater and sweatshirt and while I was fine, my husband was glad he did as the wind on a boat can leave a chill even in warm weather. Not something you think about in paradise but wanted to mention for others considering a morning time. Many thanks again to Setima Onda, Domi and Pina for making our trip such a memorable one.

This review is long overdue -- We experienced the private boat tour to the Bengali Cave in Oct and it is not to be missed. GPS and Peno were the perfect tour guides. They take pride in showing visitors the beauty of the Algarve, and were very friendly and entertaining. The process to board and leave the boat was efficient and safety taken into consideration as well. Highly recommend this tour and Setima Onda!

Very good attention and with a clear and direct organization. The trip was great, the visit to the caves was spectacular, entering caves where other companies do not enter. Denote the great experience and mastery of navigation on the part of the captain who made us enjoy the ride and the visit. Good price and security at all times.
