Loved my experience for the Benagil cave and dolphin experience! I recommend 100%!

I loved my experience with BlueFeet!
I did the Benagil cave with Jim&Luis and the dolphin experience with Keith. They were all very professional, fun, interesting, knowledgeable, caring too.
You’re in a speed boat with a small group, which I appreciate cause your experience gets more personal. I’d recommend to bring a jacket cause it gets cold with the wind (even if it’s hot and sunny!), they have blankets for you otherwise. It’s comfortable, you’re like horseback riding on the sea, it’s fun haha
I got the chance to see the common dolphins and the bottle nose dolphins (which you don’t see everytime they say!), we even saw a hammerhead shark! They are respectful of the animals and I like that it’s a smaller boat (the big ones of other companies get too close from the dolphins in my opinion… I was scared they would hurt the animals…)
I was a bit disappointed of the Benagil cave, because there was so much tourists, I preferred the other caves that they showed us, it was magical! Some looked surreal and untouched nature! Much more beautiful and interesting to see!
Muito obrigada Jim, Luis & Keith, eu amei meu dia com vocês para descobrir a naturaleza e a vida selvagem de Lagos! <3

Amazing Experience on the Coast line of Algarve
Romina_A, 18-09-2022
This tour was absolutely amazing, John and Captain Louis were master in touring the boat in to various caves and informing us about the details about the coast. Definitely recommend it just make sure to grab a jacket as it gets pretty windy. Thanks again
A must do. Professional company

Easy booking over the phone. Great way to see the spectacular coastline & its many caves. As well as visiting the Cave of Bengali we also went into 5 other caves on the way back. Clear explanations. Thanks very much to John our guide & Luis the Driver
Friendly and informative guide

With a lovely view of everything by the coast. The guide was very patient and super nice. Offer to take pictures for you if you’re solo. Unfortunately we forgot his name might be Rui, was a handsome loco lad.
Exceeded expectations

Absolutely lovely trip with guide John and the captain(name?). We had a perfect blue sky day with calm seas. Trip to cave took about 25 minutes along the lovely, interesting Portugal coast. After passing many other boats, kayakers, and stand up paddle boarders we arrived at the cave. It looked on arrival that it might be a bit of a cluster to enter but it was handled with ease amongst the vessels. You enter and it’s just a fantastic mix of color and light. The hole casts a stream of light into the cave, providing for some lovely photos-if you can maneuver around your fellow passengers. Everyone had a chance to take many pics during our time in the cave and John was game for taking many photos of folks sitting on the bow with the cave in the background. Upon our departure, an added bonus. We were able to join other boats in viewing a small pod of dolphins complete with calves. Got some great views as they cruised the cost. The only drawback to our trip was that the boat we used had seat that were akin to getting into a saddle-no real seat/chair as with other boats we saw. These were quite uncomfortable, especially towards the end. And there is a very tight amount of space between the seats.
But I still highly recommend Blue Fleet for your trip to the cave.

The Benagil Sea Cave
mzlamont, 31-10-2022
Kayaking into the Benagil sea cave was a highlight. The cave is am amazing natural wonder with a large open hole in the roof.
Lovely trip with a friendly and funny tour guide. Very enjoyable and informative . We felt in good hands and enjoyed it.
ElroydBlake, 31-10-2022
a nice tour of the grottos and we maneuvered through a few caves to get nice views. Relaxing and informative , my family enjoyed the trip .
Beautiful & Fun Tour Along the Coast
Courtney5, 23-10-2022
We loved our tour out to Algar de Benagil with BlueFleet. It's a fast trip directly out to Benagil further from the coast. Benagil was obviously really busy with many boats trying to get a view, and while it was an impressive sight, we enjoyed the rest of the tour even more. The ride back involved going into multiple other caves and going closer to shore and seeing the little towns along the way. Our guide also had a perfect balance of informational and just letting us enjoy the ride. Highly recommend this tour if staying in Lagos.
Great trip to Benagil Caves
DarkTripper, 05-10-2022
An excellent and well organised trip. The crew were first class and explained everything we were looking at in some detail.
Out Of This World!!!!!

After coming to Lagos for my honeymoon we knew we wanted to do a boat trip.
We had seen the Benagil caves in pictures but we wanted to experience it first hand.
After reading all the great reviews for Bluefleet we decided we would use this company.
What a great decision that was ( If I don't say so myself!!)
From the simplicity of the website and booking our tickets to the staff in the office and our boat crew this was incredible from start to finish!!
We had John and Luis and they were just fantastic.
The weather was nice, but very windy, John even gave me his coat!!
As for the views they were as spectacular as promised and more.
The guide was so knowledgeable and even took a few pictures for us.
We loved every minute of this trip and will be doing it again upon my return to Lagos.
Thank you to everyone at BlueFleet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing wonderful experience! Mother Nature at its best, the caves, water colors, rock formations were breathtaking. BLUE FEET team did great job taking us through at least three caves and surrounding areas! Thank you. Highly recommended. .
Stunning Cave Tour Along the Coast
NVilleGirl, 12-01-2023
Fantastic boat tour down to coast to visit the Benagil cave. The boat was very comfortable and the trip down the coast was stunning. As it is not the busiest season for visitors, we were able to experience the interior of the Benagil cave from the boat for an extended period of time. We also visited a number of different caves as well as the beautiful grottos in the area. The crew was great and provided a very smooth ride and great information along the way. For travelers this time of year, be prepared with a warmer jacket for the ride. Surprisingly, we didn't get wet at all but it can get windy as you travel to and from Lagos. I would highly recommend this experience with BlueFleet.
Excellent Tour

Blue Fleet did an amazing job. We saw many grottos and the guide was very knowledgeable. The captain skillfully brought us in a number of grottos. The weather was mid-60s in January. It was pleasant but you will be glad if you dress a little warmer than you think you need.
