There were 3 adults and…read more2 children in our party, and overall there were only 12 adults total in the group for the tour. Options were available for single or double kayaks which was nice for the kids to be paired with each adult, and that I didn't have to pair with a random stranger. The guide spoke english, and was able to answer any questions we had. They took us out to sea via boat and then we got into the kayaks. The water was calm, and even though I was a bit tired - we got to go for 1.5 hours and it was not too challenging. I gave it a 4 out of 5 for 2 reasons: The first was that there really wasn't any instructions, safety briefing or what to expect before getting into the kayaks. It was as simple as hold your paddles here and have the paddles facing this way for forward. It may be an american thing to expect a bit more, but for never kayaking before it made me a bit nervous to not have instruction. The second was that we didn't see the Benagil Caves. We had booked via viator for a Benagil Cave Tour, and the Dolphins Driven promotional photos included photos of the Benagil cave - so it felt a bit misleading.

The tour guides Axel and Daniel were AWESOME. These men are guardians of the ocean and knew intuitively where the dolphins would surface.

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!!!

At 9am, we met Mika at Dona Ana Beach, where we would be SUPing along the incredible golden cliffs and little dotted islands, weaving in and out of magical caves for 3 hours. The boards were great quality + they provided wet suits + Mika helped give us a debriefing on SUP skills - I finally felt like I knew what I was doing this time! He also used his waterproof camera to take photos of us, allowing us to be fully immersed in the experience. After we made it back to shore, we took a break, allowing Mika to take the other SUPers back to their hotel, and allowing us to enjoy our picnic lunch on the seriously beautiful Dona Ana Beach. At 3pm, we met Mika at the next location where we would be Coasteering..!! My husband was way excited, while I was pretty much way nervous, but Mika really did a wonderful job making sure I felt comfortable and supported the entire time. I can honestly say that I had absolute BLAST and am so grateful to have experienced such a beautiful part of our world in this sort of an adventurously-intimate way. My husband did a few of the higher jumps towards the end, while I happily cheered him on. The highlight of the day was the mesmerizing GREEN CAVE! At the end of the day, because we were in our camper van, we loved the location he had taken us so much, that we actually ended up staying for 5 days! We would have never found this beautiful little cove without them.

I literally forgot where I'm and why, it was just the sun, the ocean and our small group enjoying the tour. Nelson did a great job to prepare us for the SUP tour, he individually coached everybody how to cope with the sea conditions. We were smoothly introduced to new SUP techniques while slowly touring grottos where sun light is magically reflected in the transparent water. Besides the equipment the SUP school provides wetsuits, which was perfect considering the relatively cool water of the ocean. Amazing experience and thanks for the beers! We would definitely love to try the coasteering tour next time we are in Sagres.

Yes but don't go with a company who employs captains who disregards the safety of their passengers. Am I a qualified person to make such a claim? Absolutely. I captain multiple boats and currently drive 120 miles off shore every weekend logging 8x the boating hours than a regular captain per season. My party got absolutely pounded to hell and we all had a terrible time and actually came off the boat angry on how we manage to hit so many waves at the wrong angle. Boat ride was 90% of the trip non-stop back breaking and pounding - with only approx 5 minutes for photo opportunities. We only stopped a few minutes to see around 3 caves in between rough rides that left us unable to enjoy the scenery. Funny thing is, it was not even that rough compare to what nature can give you but it was rough because of the captain. Perhaps he wanted to provide a fun ride to all but he shouldn't do it at the expense of others. Safety is number 1 and thats what look for when i travel. Will you get killed? Of course not. They ask if you have a back prob before you boat, well this is a nice way to create a back problem. Hope they adjust after this review.

I experienced whiplash in my neck and have been using painkillers ever since. This was a real downer on my holiday. To make matters worse, when I spoke to the staff the following day (I wanted to give them a chance to respond before sharing anything online) they shrugged their shoulders and got defensive and laid the blame for my injury on me... For background, on this tour there was barely any information on what the tour entailed nor safety procedures. The spinning around and going fast and getting splashed with water was all par for the course however the crew do these 'nose dives' where the boat stops abruptly and a huge wave of water engulfs the boat at high speed. When I say huge I really mean it, the wave goes well over one's head. That volume of water travelling at that speed is genuinely like getting hit by a car (a cubic meter of water is literally a tonne). At no stage did the crew check that the clients were comfortable nor did they say that if we were uncomfortable that we should put one's head down or other mitigating measure to reduce the immense force. Some seats on the boat were more vulnerable to the force, notably the back of the boat, and the driver could have informed us of that before we got on the water. The driver and his assistant don't even have a view of the passengers as the passengers all sit to the rear. I'd highly recommend steering clear of this tour and company.
