Sunrise Small Group Kayak Tour to the Benagil Cave & 4K Photos

jennymW7312CK, Jul 2026

Sunrise tour at 6:30am with my family.

Davide, our guide, was fantastic! We did the 2 hour sunrise kayak tour with our 10 year old son. We arrived shortly after 6am for a 6:30am tour. It was a reasonable pace and we saw about 3 caves and grottos. He took lots of photos and sent them to us immediately. The photos were the main reason I booked with this guide. I brought my own camera with waterproof case but it’s pretty difficult to paddle and take photos at the same time. Book with these guys!

Amazing Kayaking Adventure

We had an amazing experience with Brotherootz! Pancho and Poco were fantastic guides—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish. The views were absolutely incredible, and it was such a bonus that our guide captured photos for us so we could fully enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures.Everything was very well organized, with an easy transition from the parking area to the launch point. The Brotherootz team even carried everyone’s kayaks down to the beach, which made the entire process effortless.Overall, it was a seamless, fun, and memorable experience. I highly recommend Brotherootz to anyone looking for a great kayaking adventure!

Benagil & Marinha Boat Tour

Zeenat_M, Jul 2026

Excellent Algarve tour

Best to go early in the morning as the tide is low. Couldn't feel the ride at all. And u can go into the caves. When the tide is high, the caves may be inaccessible. Sit at the back if u want a less bumpy ride.Also peak heat is 3 to 6pm in July. Way too hot so the earlier the better.Swimming is not really allowed in the caves, so a swim suit is not necessary. However on the return trip, the boats moves very fast and depending on the wind, you could get soaked. Like me. So wear quick dry material.U need a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, water and a camera.Absolutely loved this tour. The Algarve is absolutely spectacular.Fernando was an amazing captain. He steered the boat to allow everyone to get perfect pictures and videos. Felt supersafe with him.

Authentic Market & Food Tour in Portimão, Algarve

joannapC6288NF, Jul 2026

Hands down, one of the best food tours I’ve ever taken!

I have been on several food tours around the world, but this one might have been the absolute best! Isabel is not only an exceptional guide, but she is also just a truly wonderful, lovely person. She did an incredible job of giving us a rich, authentic flavor of both the local food and the culture.We had a group of ten, and Isabel accommodated our various allergies and gluten-free needs seamlessly without missing a beat. Everything we tasted was incredibly delicious, and the wine/drink pairings were spectacular. Everyone in our group absolutely loved every minute of it.I really cannot say enough great things about Isabel. She is fun, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and so warm. If you are considering booking this tour, do not hesitate! We couldn't recommend her more. Thank you, Isabel, for an unforgettable day!

Brilliant, fun tour!

We booked this tour with my 12-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. The bikes were great fun, and it was such an enjoyable way to explore the area while taking in all the beautiful sights.Our tour guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the local history. They made the tour engaging and interesting, sharing fascinating facts and stories that really brought the area to life.The tour was the perfect length for my 12-year-old, keeping him entertained throughout, and we discovered so many places we would never have found on our own. It was such a fun and unique way to experience the area.A huge compliment to the company for providing such a well-organised, enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, active, and memorable way to see the sights. We would absolutely do it again!

Self Guided Scavenger Hunt in Portimao

sallybH2584LW, Jul 2026

Great morning in Portimao doing Adventure Hunt

We had a great time doing the Treasure hunt in Portimao. It was great to have a focus when walking around, as we would likely have walked past a lot of the points of interest without having really noticed them, if we hadn't been doing the hunt. It makes you stop and notice things and rhe fun facts are good, too. The clues are just the right level, they make you think but not too hard that you give up. It was good to have the option of a "hint/tip" for some of theore difficult ones. We managed to do them all and scored quite well. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely do more. Very well planned and laid out. Thanks Adventure Hunt!

Fun cliff top ride

We booked this via WhatsApp because my daughter was desperate to do some horse riding while we were staying in Praia da Rocha. Cátia was very helpful over message and reassured me about the meeting point which was easy to get to by taxi. The horses are well cared for and all the ladies running the tour obviously cares a great deal about them. The lady looking after my daughter and I told us all about the horses and why they had been rescued, she told us about the local area and taught us some Portuguese. The tour itself was a slow walk on a cliff trail with a couple of stops for photos along the way. Very easy for anyone, you don’t need to know anything about horses. Highly recommended!

Best Experience in Portimao

This was our first ever food tour and we weren’t sure what to expect but what can I say other than it was fantastic. Isabel is such a lovely friendly person she makes you feel so at ease and keeps the chat going as you wander from place to place trying lots of different foods. We enjoyed one of the restaurants so much we went back by ourselves two days later. If you do anything while in Portimao book this tour you won’t regret it.

T2235PUjenniferf, Jul 2026

Ahoy to the caves!

This was such an enjoyable several hours. The captain and his first mate were experienced boaters and made us feel so comfortable while onboard. This small group experience (with a smaller boat) allowed us better access to many of the caves. Of course, the fun group also contributed to the great experience! Highly recommend.
