Private Boat Tour: Ponta Da Piedade Grottos And Caves In Lagos

Our party of 4 had a delightful experience on tour. The sights were truly amazing - the beautiful beaches, rock-scapes and water were breathtaking! Our guide, Rui Pedro, was exceptional! The clean and well-maintained boat plus his expert boatmanship made for a comfortable and smooth boat ride. He is from Lagos so very knowledgeable about all the sights. He clearly shared insightful facts about what we were seeing and did so in a witty, friendly and engaging way. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and came away with a helpful overview of this beautiful area. We all highly recommend this tour led by Rui Pedro.

This was an excellent tour. It is one of the very few run by a local captain, Rui Pedro. The tour through the grottos and caves was amazing, with so much history provided by Captain Rui. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

We had the best time! For the cost, this was exceptional, and our two boat guides made everyone feel safe and informed. It was just the right amount of time to be out in the boat, and see everything.

The tides were high and the waves were big, but Rui expertly brought us around and into caves. He gave history and names of area, and explained what we were seeing. Pointed out fun things and gave us many laughs.

Multi lingual knowlegeable local owner & driver. A fun trip inside caves with Surprises. & Inexpensive Reasonable for couple of hours.

We some fantastic coastal scenery on this tour. We had a very skilled captain taking us in the narrowest of caves.

Booked a private tour with my family on holiday, the captain was very kind and he contacted us beforehand about the weather and conditions at sea for that day. As we arrived we got picked up at the agreed pick-up point perfectly on time by the captain and his companion, after entering the boat we had a short introduction round where the captain told us all about the plans for the tour and off we went. The captain/guide drove the boat with easy and precision, paying attention to every little detail en making sure we were comfortable at all times. He gave us very much information in a fun way, he took the time at every sight so we would miss nothing. His English was very good, we understood him well and he had an answer for every question. After the tour was over we went back to the harbour were we said goodbye. We had a very good overall experience, would recommend!

Daniel gave a very detailed explanation of the sights along the coast as he expertly navigated the boat in the caves. He and his wife Erica were very nice and pleasant people. I highly recommend their tour.

Very friendly and informative. Fun ride of beautiful Lagos caves. Nice captain . Highly recommended for a good time. … !!!!

We had a private boat tour on 18 October and we found the captain Rui Pedro and his assistant very informative and we had a wonderful time visiting the beaches and caves of Ponta de Piedade. I would highly recommend Lagos Boat Tours for a wonderful experience and particularly recommend Rui Pedro. Many thanks

Thank you Captain Rui Pedro, and mate. What an excellent sunset cruise during a full moon in September. It was the highlight of our trip to the Algarve, and everyone is still talking about it. I will complement you on your seamanship and the way you handled the boat in the tight grotto spaces. We felt safe the whole time. Thank you

We had an amazing morning with Rui Pedro the Captain of our boat trip. His knowledge was incredible and we LOVED that he is a Local Tour operator. Many other companies are not locally owned and it was a nice surprise to see that we did find the right tour company to book. Rui Pedro was able to take us into the smaller caves and grottos that the bigger boats simply can’t enter into which we really enjoyed. A perfect tour to highlight and stunning coastline. Tami

Excellent trip a very experienced skipper. We did the 5pm trip which was perfect weather. Would highly recommend - we all enjoyed it!

Absolutely loved our captain and the tour. We picked up a shelter dog for a day from Algarve Animal Rescue, and Cap. Rui Pedro let us bring her along (on a private tour) so we could get photos and videos to help network her! We appreciated that so much!! We were impressed how we navigated the tight grottos. Would definitely recommend and hopefully go again if we ever have the chance!

Daniel and Erica were really informative and we learned so much. The boat ride was smooth and they took us all around the caves and through really beautiful archways. It was a great way to see the coastline!

Great trip , amazing sites, wonderful guides, and most importantly they took a lot of great photos 10/10 would come back again!

We had the pleasure last week to be on a tour with Captain Rui and his assistant while we were visiting friends in the area. We learned so much about the beautiful coastline, and we enjoyed hearing it from his perspective as the son of a fisherman. He gave us plenty of time to take photos, (which were spectacular) and was patient and courteous with all. We will recommend him to everyone and will be back again!

Awesome tour. The Captain Rui Pedro is a skilled skipper with great local knowledge. Do not miss this experience if your are in Lagos.

Our boat tour was a breath taking experience. Rui & Daniel treated us like family and showed around the “house”. The caves have room names. The water was beautiful, crystal clear. One hour was the perfect amount of time for this personalized trip. Highly recommend.

Thank you Captain Rui and Daniel for an amazing introduction to the calas and Ponta da Piedade Grottoes. My husband and I booked the this private tour and it exceeded our expectations. This tour is a must do in Lagos. Espectacular turquoise waters angainst golden limestone and its history 🩵💛!

This boat trip was the highlight of our trip. Rui was a charming and informative tour guide who was adventurous enough the three twenty-something young men in the group, but reassuring enough for the three sixty year olds. We went into caves and through arches, passed beautiful beaches and a Roman bridge. It was spectacular.

An unforgettable walk, full of emotion and good moments. Captain Rui Pedro, a charming person. I totally recommend it, and I assure you that you will see things that no one from the tours in the marina will show you.

The #1 choice for an excursion on the coast. I strongly advise you, the captain is a place and he is a true artist in the art of driving his boat. Friendly he speaks well in French and is very knowledgeable.

We loved our postponed outing for uncertain weather! Ruiz is very nice, gave us information in three languages, paid attention to waves for sensitive people, approached us as close as possible to the caves, allowed us to take beautiful photos! Do not hesitate, book with Lagos boat tours you will be delighted with your outing! Thank you Ruiz for a great time!

Make on sunny days. The colors are beautiful. Comments in French by Rui who was born there. Great experience.

What a great company! Personal contact and held when it suited the weather to go sailing due to wind and waves. The captain is a very knowledgeable sailor, tells a lot about the area and is just a very nice guy! I would recommend it to anyone! Nice an hour or 2 boating, swimming and lots of viewing.

The captain speaks French very well. Very nice walk, accessible in places with small boats, where big boats can not go. There were 3 of us in the boat, beautiful experience

Highly recommended boat route! Captain Rui Pedro is very friendly and made the trip super enjoyable telling us all about the coast and the different caves/grottos. We were 10 people and fit perfectly. Highly recommended experience, especially with this local company and Rui Pedro as captain.

Captain Daniel and his partner Erica have made excellent sailing and the historical explanation has been excellent.

It was a wonderful trip. Very comfortable and luxurious. With Daniel and his sister as captains. Saw some beautiful places and took a lot of pictures.
