We took the boat trip with two girls, ages 10 and 14, and we all enjoyed it immensely. The route was beautiful, in an unbeatable setting. Our guide, Rui, was the best of the best; a local guide who knows the caves and the boat perfectly. He also translated all his explanations into Spanish, German, and French—a total whiz, and on top of that, friendly and fun. I recommend it 200%.
It was a brilliant boat trip. I am pregnant and we have a 1.5yr old, we were really hoping to find a boat trip suitable and we certainly did! Our guide was informative, funny and great with children! Would highly recommend !
A beautiful boat trip if you want to enjoy the coast from the sea. Despite the slightly rainy weather at times, the captain provided us with umbrellas and tried to keep the boat moving at a moderate speed so we could fully enjoy the trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
